While we all love a good read, but the reality is that coffee table books tend to function more as stylish home decor accents as opposed to serving as actual reading material—and you know what, that’s totally okay. They’re also a wonderful way to also display your distinctive sense of style and unique sets of interests by adding a personalized touch to your space and (modestly) showing off a bit of your cultured side.
If you’re a lover of fashion and style, decorating your living room set up with aesthetically pleasing coffee table books about your favorite fashion designers, magazines, photographers, and even models is also an excellent way to bring out your love and passion for all things fashion to your home decor collection. Aside from their chic covers and glossy pages, these premium coffee table books are also filled to the brim with plenty of material to soak up, from compilations about the fashion industry as a whole to historical insights about apparel trends over the past century and even costume design, these coffee table books are certainly not just a pretty face.
From archival collections composed of beloved fashion designer musings to collections of celebrity interviews, iconic magazine covers, and editorial photoshoots, there’s no shortage of fashion-focussed coffee table books for the style-obsessed to choose from.
