One of my favorite accents in any living room will be a stack
coffee table books. The few minutes or seconds spent flipping through them can
be either entertaining or inspiring, and I don't even have to start at the
beginning.
These books are
not so rare or hard to find. A visit to Barnes and Noble or Urban
Outfitters will attest to this. They cover a wealth of subjects, from art,
to fashion, architecture to music. You can stack them on one end of a long
table in the middle of the room next to a set of coasters, or sneak them onto a
small end table at the end of a sofa, right next to a guest's elbow.
Earlier we discussed the importance of personalizing your space.
Coffee table books are a wonderful way to do so. The books you read are a great
influence on how you think and who you are, and these giant hard cover books
are a good snapshot into that part of your life.
Below is a short list of books, divided by subject, to inspire you and give
you an idea of what is available to you. Follow the links for more suggestions,
and take notes! You may be on your way to the bookstore this afternoon!
