5 Coffee Table Books You Need

Is anyone else obsessed with coffee table books? Thankfully, several of my good friends here admit this as a weakness, so at least I know I’m in good company! Do you skim them? Let them collect dust? Somewhere in the middle? Wherever you fall, let’s get started with 5 coffee table books you need to add to your collection immediately 🙂

First of all, what’s not to love about Kate Spade? This book is chock full of color, inspiration and happy tidbits to keep you turning pages. I usually pick mine up when I’m searching for a bit of creativity. If you love Kate Spade like I do “All In Good Taste” is another winner and makes the perfect gift 🙂

2. Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon

It’s safe to say that Audrey Hepburn is my ultimate style icon, so buying this book was a real no brainer for me. I love everything about her whimsical style and strong sense of self.

3. The Flower Workshop

Admittedly, I got this book based on the colorful cover. Thankfully, the rest of the book did not disappoint in bold color, bloom inspiration or helpful hints when it comes to arranging your favorite flowers!

4. Humans of New York

I’ve blogged before about my love for HONY, but it bears writing about them again, just because they evoke such a wide range of emotions. I think what I love most about having the books at arm’s length is the instant inspiration they provide.

5. Thug Kitchen

Okay, so this book is freaking hysterical and if you’re at all interested in food — it’s for you. I love the punchy language and the recipes aren’t bad either 😉

 And just because narrowing my favorites down to 5 was really hard – I’m sharing a 6th! Well, technically 6th + 7th, because Gray Malin just doesn’t quit in the inspiration department!

I have both Beaches and Escape and am already counting down to Be Our Guest! His images are just colorful, pretty and fun to look at it. Plus, it’s total vacation inspiration and a little getaway sitting right there on your coffee table 🙂

What do you have on your coffee table? Books? No books? Something else entirely? Dish!
