When it comes to conversation starters with new visitors or recurring guests, a beautifully displayed coffee table read is one way to break the ice. If you are looking for inspiration to style your coffee table from interior design blogs, you may think that you need black, white, and beige books for your side table to have that luxe feel. This isn’t the only way to elevate your living space. ,,
If you are into traveling or enjoy visiting museums, it wouldn’t make sense to have a coffee table book of Chanel or Tom Ford if you aren’t into fashion. Though these styles of books are popular, they aren’t the only display books you have to go with to get that sophisticated coffee table feel. The books on your coffee table are usually the first thing guests see when they plop down on your couch. Why not make it visually engaging or representative of things you are into? They don’t have to be books designated for displaying. You can use copies of your favorite photographer or a specific time in history that you are passionate about. There is no right or wrong way to go about accessorizing your coffee table. Just make it unique to you and your aesthetic.
Whether you are looking to upgrade your coffee table or gift a friend with a book they are missing on their side table, ESSENCE compiled ten unique coffee table books for all your decorating needs.
