Best Coffee Table Books Gift Ideas
Hi girls, how are you today?
As adult women, it is normal that we start falling in love with our homes in our 30s and want to invest every extra cent we have into buying new home decor items. Out of a sudden, tequila shots are no longer a priority, and in come the endless new pillows that you simply must-have for your living room couch.
In my opinion, a huuuuuuuugely important (and sometimes overlooked) home decor item is a beautiful coffee table book. Indeed, coffee table books add a touch of elegance to any home as it shows intention in your interior design efforts as an adult lady.

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
