Where to place coffee table books?

Stack them in layers

Arrange 2-4 books in a neat stack, largest book at the bottom, gradually smaller on top. Additionally, you can also have one tall stack of books next to a shorter stack to add visual interest.

Use as a base for decor

Place decorative items on top, such as a small vase, a candle, or a sculpture. This adds height and layers to your coffee table. Keep the decor proportional to the stack—nothing too big that will cover the books entirely.

Fan them out

Instead of stacking, you can fan out a few books. This allows the covers to be visible and gives a more relaxed, casual look.

Mix with objects

Combine the books with other objects like trays, bowls, or plants. This gives a curated look without overwhelming the space.

If you’re looking to elevate the style of your own space or round it out with the perfect finishing touch, a curation of tomes that meets your interests and tastes is absolutely the way to go.
