10 Best Coffee Table Books

I have to be completely honest…I don’t own my own coffee table (a problem that comes with living at home). But although I’m coffee table-less I am completely in love with the perfect books that belong on one. I’ve slowly been acquiring my own collection, for my future coffee table of course. But the things you keep on your coffee table say a lot abut who you are and what you love.

I think it’s important that your coffee table books reflect your taste and personality, especially since they are on display in your home. Without further ado, start the slideshow below to see 10 coffee table books I am loving at the moment:

American Beauty

Find: Amazon

1. Although I’m completely Canadian, this book is still great because it features over 100 portraits of quintessentially American women. Think Lilly Aldridge, Jenna Lyons and Solange Knowles, to name a few.

Domino

Find: Anthropologie

2. This book of decorating goes beyond a wonderful collection of inspiring rooms…it includes how-to advice and insider’s secrets that together crack the code to creating a beautiful home for anyone’s personal style.

Louboutin

Find: Shopbop

3. This Christian Louboutin has recently climbed to the top of my list. Take a peek into the life of this iconic shoe designer with these 300+ pages of photography, inspiration and even pop-up art (you’ll want to buy a pair of shoes ASAP).

The Hand Written Letter

Find: The Hand Written Letter Project

8. The Handwritten Letter Project began as a conversation about how personal a letter can be and ended up as an invitation to designers and creative thinkers alike to write their thoughts in handwritten form on their own stationery. This amazing book now offers a glimpse into some of the most creative minds of our time.

Vintage Cocktails
