Coffee Table Books's FAQ’s
How do you style decorative coffee table books?
There are many different ways you can style coffee table books, whether they're used as intended, on your coffee table, or to dress up your bedside or entryway.
Our experts recommend choosing 2-3 books to create the perfect stack, layering them from largest to smallest, and either centring each book on top of the other, or aligning the spines for a clean, tidy look.
This, on its own, is more than enough and makes a surprisingly big difference, but if you want to take it one step further, you can layer with accessories, placing small bowls, candles, or a small plant on top of the stack.

Our coffee table books can typically be delivered within 3-5 working days, depending on stock availability.
