One of my favorite gifts to give (and receive) is a nice big coffee table book. In the early planning stages of canvas interiors, books were always an essential part of the vibe we were hoping to create.
Eventually in the store I would love to line a wall with them. For now we have a nice selection of books scattered throughout the space. Everything from beach (Island Life) to villa (Saladino) to 70's surf culture (The History of Surfing).
So to inspire your coffee table book collection here are images of books as decor.
line a large room floor to ceiling and curate an open feel on each shelf
add them to a dining room for a graphic twist
jam pack a wall top to bottom to create texture
line a corner to define space
lofty spaces are perfect for reading nooks whether a true loft...
...or a sloped ceiling in a living room
industrial strength shelves lined with books make a contemporary space feel warm
meander up the stairs and pick a book on your way to bed
plop down in cushy splendor in a room dedicated to nothing but books
I am a little addicted to beautiful images. While packing for my move from Cali to FLA one of the hardest things I had to get rid of (recycle) were years and years worth of CA's and PDN's. Some of you know of what I speak... and if not, suffice it to say many many beautiful images are now composted and hopefully growing pretty flowers somewhere.
The computer can only satisfy so much of my need for turning pages
so my collection of coffee table books goes on.
