Coffee Table Books
Can't believe this is my first post of 2019 and it's March. This year is flying by already!
When we purchased our first home, I started collecting books. One of my favorite gifts to receive is a coffee table book. My collection is slowly growing and nothing makes me happier then being able to add to it every so often. I have accumulated enough to officially considered myself collector. My favorite genres are fashion, decor, and cook books. Books are such a beautiful way of expressing your personality throughout your home. They make for great decor and if you're a book worm, a great read. Many people buy books to display on their coffee tables. I have them all throughout my house. I love to place fashion books in my bedroom and around the house with decor books and then put my cookbooks on display in the kitchen.
Books are great way to get a little inspiration whether its for clothing, decor, cooking, you name it. I get so much inspiration and gather tons of ideas from each and every one.
I think displaying books bring so much character and depth to a room. My favorite displays are stacked books. I keep the stacks low, usually no more then three to four books to a stack. I also like the way one book looks displayed alone. My rule of thumb for staking, 1, 2, or 3. This keeps that clean look with a modern feel that I like. Anything over 4 can give a more eclectic look, which is great if that is your style.
Not only are books a great way to display your personality but they serve as great gifts for that someone special. My husband gave me Michelle Obama's book for Christmas and I was so excited to add it to my collection. You may remember it from this post on instagram.
Take a look at how I styled a few of my books around my home.
