What is the Point of Coffee Table Books?
‘’But Ana, what in hell are coffee table books?’’, you might be wondering.
Well, I am glad you asked, my friend.
A coffee table book is an oversized, usually hard-covered book whose purpose is for display on a center table intended for use in a common area, where one entertains their guests.
Coffee table books are a fantastic way to inspire conversation. It also showcases a bit of your personality and is also great to pass the time and learn some interesting facts from a variety of interesting categories (usually home decor, fashion, culture, or travel).

How do I Choose a Coffee Table Book?
When picking out coffee table books, as a general rule of thumb I usually look for ones that are at least 9-10″ minimum in length. This is necessary because it allows them to carry some weight while being large enough to put a decent-sized accessory on.
What Makes a Good Coffee Table Book?
First things first, coffee table books must have a stunning cover.
Be it minimal, colorful, chic, feminine, or vintage (whatever matches your home and personality more). Secondly, coffee table books are great storytellers. However, their way of telling a story is varied. Coffee table books are precise, crisp, and include narratives that are inspiring to the beholder.
What Should I Put On My Coffee Table?
Coffee tables aren’t meant exclusively for books, mind you. It is in fact a great opportunity to have a stunning centerpiece tastefully displayed inside your home.
Here are some ideas of other things that you could use to decorate your coffee table.
Further down below the post, I also give some picture examples of a few elegant coffee tables that I found online, so be sure to read this post until the very end.
- Chic candles and pretty candle holders
- An elegant ashtray (even if you’re not a smoker)
- A delicate vase
- Fresh flowers
- Candy bowl (with gourmet candy)
- A tray for display
- Small figures
