Best Way to Style Coffee Table Books
It’s all about visual interest and adding character to a space.
The best way to style coffee table books is in stacks of 2-4. Start by placing your largest book on the bottom for stability & continue to add until you have reached the desired height and look.
Stacking in odd numbers always feels a bit more elevated. When selecting your coffee table book arrangement, keep in mind the color scheme you are trying to go for and the size of your table.
Other things to consider when styling your coffee table book arrangement:
- Personalize it to who you are and what you like.
- Select a book with a beautiful outside cover (I know the saying is “Don’t judge a book by its cover” but not in this case).
- Mix and match vintage books, thrifted books & newer coffee table books.
- Use the coffee table book height to your advantage and try displaying decorative objects on them.
