Our Favorite Coffee Table Books
/If you’ve ever walked into our home, you know we have a thing for coffee table books. They’re stacked in the usual places — the actual coffee table, the console under the window next to the lamp, and tucked into our fireplace bookshelves — but they’re not just for show. We pull them down often, flipping through for inspiration, ideas, or just the joy of lingering over a beautiful photograph. Over the years, we’ve collected a mix of old favorites and new finds that have become part of our daily rhythm at home. They’re comforting, familiar, and always inspirational.
Below are some of our favorites, all linked in our Amazon storefront. Whether you’re looking to spark creativity, dream up your next renovation project, or simply have something beautiful to leaf through with your morning coffee, we think you’ll find a few treasures here too.
