Coffee Table Books - Shop the Look

There is something about a coffee table book that really helps set the mood of a room. The cover itself can invoke serenity or a sense of wonder. One can be transported back to their favorite vacation destination or inspired to try a new hobby. Book covers can help keep a home’s color scheme cohesive and calm or add a pop of color and whimsy.

In this week’s Shop the Look, we are featuring coffee table books that would be at home in nearly any Coastal NC home. Look carefully at our project gallery and you may see some of these in our staging projects…or on our own coffee tables!
