Books

Books do a quiet amount of work in a room. Stacked on a coffee table they give the eye somewhere to land, they add height under a vase, and they tell a visitor something about the people who live there without anyone having to say it.

Our range leans toward the ones worth leaving out: design and interiors, art and photography, travel, fashion, food, and the small gift books that say the right thing. Spines and covers are chosen with as much thought as the contents, because a coffee table book is read twice and looked at daily.

Style them in stacks of three, largest at the base, and let a candle or a small object sit on top. If you are building a shelf or a table, our books work hardest alongside the vases and objects in our decor range.

How do I style coffee table books?
Stack two or three by size with the largest at the base, then add one object on top, such as a candle or a small sculpture. Swap the stack each season so the table never looks static.

What makes a good coffee table book?
A cover you are happy to see every day, a subject that suits the room, and enough images that guests can open it anywhere. Design, travel, photography and interiors titles do this best.

How do I style books on a shelf?
Mix upright rows with small horizontal stacks, leave gaps for an object or two, and group by colour or size rather than filling every centimetre.

Do books make good gifts?
They are among the easiest. Choose a subject the person already loves, such as food, travel or design, and write a note inside the cover so it stays theirs long after it is read.
