"There's so much more to a book than just the reading." - Maurice Sendak
Coffee table books are something that I really love. I enjoy collecting different books on various topics. Whether it is fashion, comics, art or home decor - we have many books I love displaying in our home. We love adding new books into our collection. Book shopping is one of my favorite hobbies, and reading them make me so happy. Occasionally, I will rotate our centerpiece book on our coffee table - it immediately gives the table a brand new look! Also, a coffee table book is always a conversation starter! I like to decorate our table with candles, flowers, and many of our favorite books.
Today, I'm sharing three tips on how you can jazz up your coffee table, giving it a whole new look, while expressing your wonderful personality!
Choose books you love
There are so many books out there with various topics. Select books that you enjoy and describe your personality. For us, fashion, comics, home decor, wine, and food are some our favorite book topics. I love vintage books and ones that are passed down to me from my Grandmother. Always, display a book that best describes who you are and what makes you the happiest.
Select a book that's bold
They say never judge a book by its cover, but that's not the case for a coffee table book. For this type of book, I like selecting a book that is striking and bold - one that grabs a person's attention. It's so much fun to discuss a book with guests in our home. Be sure to select a book that fits the size of your coffee table and doesn't overwhelm the piece.
Stack your books
As my collection has grown I like to stack my books to give the table a new look. Also, you can leverage different knick knacks or a bouquet of fresh flowers with the books. I love using a tray to organize the items as well, so that they are neat. Create a wonderful display you'll love and enjoy looking at!
What are your some of your favorite coffee table books?
Enjoy!
