I’ve been helping one of best friends style her new bookcases in her living room and my first question was do you have any coffee table books?! One of my favorite tips to style just about any piece of furniture (consoles, end tables, night stands, coffee tables, open shelving, you name it) is to decorate with coffee table books. I started my collection over 7 years ago and I’m so happy I did. If you’re having trouble getting started, I recommend searching for coffee table books that align with your interests whether it be gardening, entertaining, fashion, traveling, etc.
In recent weeks, there have been several new book releases that I’m personally so excited about. Insert Mark D. Sikes’ “More Beautiful” — the interiors are absolutely stunning! Give me all of the blue and white, please. Designing History by Michael S. Smith is another one of my recent purchases that I couldn’t recommend more. Michael was tasked with decorating the Obama White House and it’s so interesting to learn the details that go in to decorating for a new White House administration. If you are you into podcasts, you can catch Michael on Paloma Contreras’ new podcast, The Style Files.
Other notable new and notable releases include James Farmer’s Arriving Home and Aerin Lauder’s Entertaining Beautifully. If you have any coffee table book recommendations I’d love to hear them!! 🙂 Xo. Lauren
