Like your very own design consultation with the best interior designers, this is what this year's coffee table book releases are all about, so make sure you don’t miss them
I love a coffee table book, and who doesn’t? I'm all for the coffee table book stacking trend, and I think they look great styled in my interior, with small objects around it. But what makes them even better is if they're written by a talented interior designer with loads of knowledge to share. Now your book is not just for display, it’s actually useful, and this year’s releases are a treasure trove of tips, tricks, ideas, and gorgeous interiors to dream about and get inspired by.
Some of the most celebrated interior designers have collected their knowledge, projects and vision in the best interior design books that you can spend hours poring over, while sat in your comfortable reading nook. You can relax and soak up all the inspo, but I won’t be surprised if you’ll need to make notes and start planning your redecoration project straight away, because they’re all just packed with ideas you can implement yourself into your home right now. Happy reading!
