Henri Matisse is one of my favorite artists and I really like this collection of fragmentary works. – Taylor
If you live in a small area, I highly recommend this book. It shows a variety of beautiful small interiors and gives you great inspiration on how to create a big design impact in your space. I always look at this when thinking about design and interiors. – Abby

I love to read and one day (when I’m older :P) I hope to have the walls of my study filled with books and the decorative items we’ve gathered over the years to create a true study/library vibe. I also can’t wait to have a sitting room with a large glass coffee table, stacked with my favorite books, lit with my favorite candles, and a place to share stories with friends over coffee.
Holiday: The Best Travel Magazine That Ever Was
Now that I can find that virtual coffee table or transfer these books to my library, these will be absolute favorites (I recently own 4 to make it 5 out of 7 selected…) and so here are my picks for the best coffee table travel books:-
My most recent travel book purchase and one of my favorites. Because this book is so big (and I want it to last), I chose to buy the hardback version. It features alphabetical countries around the world and facts about each destination. Stunningly photographed (but is this by Lonely Planet right?) and beautifully presented, this book really fills my heart with nostalgia.
I’ve been following Murad’s Instagram account for a long time and I’m really in love and obsessed with his ‘follow me’ pictures. They are set up in stunningly beautiful and stunning destinations, featuring his wife in a stunningly beautiful setting. This book features some of the best ‘Follow Me’ images and some of the stories behind the photos.
Dungeonology And This Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Book Make For Great Coffee Table Accessories
It’s truly amazing to see what nature can do to create some of the most beautiful, powerful, jaw-dropping sites and wonders around the world. However, man has created some amazing architecture and incredible sites around the world. Like the Grand Canyon, Taj Mahal, Aurora Borealis, Acropolis, and more, this book added to my bucket list the sites I decided I had to visit. I loved how he explained the science and/or engineering that went into creating all of these natural wonders… and in true Lonely Planet style, the amazing photography!
I love this Lonely Planet book because it really shows how diverse and amazing the world is. I think travel is not necessarily the ‘best time’ to go somewhere, this book shows that every day of the year something amazing is happening in the world, even if it’s a festival, there’s a good season. To see a special sign or a significant date for animal sightings. I would also love to look and see what the ‘best place to be’ is on my birthday…but I’ll leave that up to you to figure out!
This is one of Lonely Planet’s new picture books and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Lonely Planet authors have hand-picked 500 of the best destinations around the world that they believe you must see in your lifetime. Some are obvious choices in most people’s minds, but others are a little more obscure and really made me think about how much of this world I want to see. Keep your bucket list handy as you read this book, as you’re sure to add new destinations to see to your list!
Best Books Of 2018
One of the most popular magazines in the world, National Geographic has over time published some incredible articles on various topics around the world. Not only that, the magazine is also known for the extremely powerful and striking photographs that appear on the front of the magazine’s cover every month. This book specifically revisits the magazine’s major covers and tells the stories behind them.
One of this year’s most popular travel coffee table books, Humans of New York quickly became an overnight sensation, and it’s easy to see why. Brandon Stanton goes around asking questions and taking pictures of everyday people in New York to share some of their happiest moments or darkest memories. The world is instantly relatable to these people featured on Brandon’s Instagram and created from this book. Now there’s another book in a similar style by Brandon called Humans Of New York Stories that I’m sure will be on my next coffee table list.
