The Perfect Coffee Table Books To Impress Your Friends
When it comes to decorating, coffee table books can be a piece of art in themselves and are a quick and super chic way to enhance your décor. Books that reflect your personal style are the perfect way to impress your guests and instantly transform any surface of your home.
We’ve rounded up our must-have coffee table books. But these stunning additions aren’t limited to just coffee tables, they’ll also add a statement to a bookshelf, side table, or a bar cart.
For creative inspiration
Do One Thing Every Day That Inspires You is jam packed full of inspiration, from stimulating tasks designed to push your creative boundaries, to encouraging quotes of wisdom from famous writers, designers and artists.
With plenty of space for you to jot down your own inspirational ramblings, this is a great little book to pick up every now and again when in need of some creativity.
For wanderers
When it comes to organising weekend trips throughout Europe, look no further than The New York Times: 36 Hours, 125 Weekends in Europe. This is the holy grail of European travel planners and features 125 weekend trips in total, all of which reveal the expected and unexpected places to travel through the continent.
This is the perfect addition to coffee tables for both tourists and well-worn travellers and comes complete with breath-taking imagery from across Europe.
For budding photographers
Photography books are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee and are guaranteed to impress your guests.
One of our top choices is Women in Trees. This striking book features the best vintage photographs of women in trees. Sounds odd - but after discovering a curious behaviour that overcame women from 1920s to the 1950s, German collector Jochen Raiss is bringing the phenomenon to light.
From jolly climbers to posed portraits, each shot has a story to tell, and gives a lesson on the importance of life’s little joys.
For foodies
No coffee table is complete without an eye-catching cookbook and we love this beautifully illustrated one from Leon. Family & Friends is published by the healthy fast food restaurant chain Leon, and contains hundreds of recipes for flavourful, nutritious meals that won't take hours to prepare.
Leon Family & Friends will inspire your next family meal at home and celebrates the power of food to bring people together.
For interior inspiration
Whether you’re looking for an intriguing coffee-table book to occupy your guests or searching for inspiration for your next redesign, Black and White (and a Bit in Between) is sure to fit the bill—and look pretty on your table while doing so.
This book features more than 100 impeccably designed spaces and its beautiful illustrations show how acclaimed interior designers use this classic colour palette in bold and unexpected ways.
A new home is the perfect blank canvas for decorating. We’d love to see how you’ve styled your coffee table this year - share your favourite books with us on Twitter @MillerHomesUK.
