Five Coffee Table Books Must Haves

Coffee table books are a quick and easy way to add a bit of personality to your space – as well as add that warmth (as an empty table always seems unfinished). Your coffee table is often the centre of your room and to add a sense of coziness, we love stacking hard cover books in similar tones to add that level of dimension and texture. We recommend stacking three or four books to add a little height and often with an artful object to complete the look.

If you don’t know where to start when hunting for décor themed books, here are a few we love incorporating in our clients’ homes.

This book is a collection of engaging visuals, decoration, architecture, and art. The interior designer also touches upon his personal struggles, journey, and ambition. This book also includes quick wit with humorous quotes

We love this book by Joanna Gaines. It is a simple guide on interior spaces and how to elevate them (and her style and taste is impeccable).​

You’ve probably seen this Tom Ford Coffee table book on many coffee tables on social media. It is a collection of his work at Gucci and how he built the brand, as well as his work at Yves Saint Laurent.
