collage featuring 12 colorful design books for your coffee table

left to right, top to bottom

Vivid: Style in Colour by Julia Green with photos by Armelle Habib is a study in color as it shapes our home and travels. Trust me, it’s even more beautiful in person!

The House of Glam: Lush Interiors and Design Extravaganza from Gestalten celebrates maximalist interior design color by color.

Agape photographed by Louise Enhörning with an essay by Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen is a meditation on love portrayed through an ethereal display of visuals, textures, shapes, and colors.

Delicious Places: New Food Culture, Restaurants and Interiors explores how modern culinary culture focuses on food as an experience, from the restaurant’s branding and interiors to the sourcing of their ingredients and freshness of their offerings.

House of Joy: Playful Homes and Cheerful Living, also from from gestalten, is a collection of vibrant spaces that make dwelling an overwhelming joyful experience. Not only do the places photographed evoke joy themselves, the colorful pages of the book make it a mood-booster to flip through!

Yes, Do It for Yourself: A Motivational Journal by Kara Cutruzzula is technically a guided journal and not a coffee table book, but its pop-art-inspired graphics and 75 thought-provoking prompts also make it an inspiring book to display front-and-center as a reminder to take time to explore your own creativity. This bright book is a paperback, so it deserves a spot on the top of your stack!

Creative Spaces by Angie Myung and Ted Vadakan of Poketo offers a peek into the thoughtful spaces dreamt up by creative entrepreneurs and artists, with beautiful photos and interviews that invite us to dive deeper into their stories.

Uncommon Paper Flowers: Extraordinary Botanicals and How To Craft Them by Kate Alarcón is a craft book that’s beautiful enough to put on display, filled with creative projects and interesting tidbits about the uncommon plants that inspired them.

1000 Design Classics from Phaidon Editors features 1,000 coveted design objects from around the world in one fascinating volume.

Flora Photographica: The Flower in Contemporary Photography by William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud features the floral work of over 120 contemporary photographers from the past 30 years.

Timeless Paris: Ateliers, Emporiums, Savoir Faire by Marin Montagut journeys through Paris to share the most inspiring timeless studios and boutiques around the city. Perfect for interior design and travel lovers alike!

Petal: The World of Flowers Through an Artist’s Eye by Adriana Picker is the ultimate art book for floral lovers, featuring lush illustrations of intriguing botanicals. It’s so beautiful!
