On My Mind This Week 2.14.2022

You know how much I love design, and a good coffee table book, too. I’ve shared my favorite coffee able books but wanted to focus on the best interior design books. These always make wonderful gifts and beautiful decor, too. Here are the most beautiful and inspirational interior design coffee table books for anyone who loves interiors. 

The Best Interior Design Coffee Table Books

 

California Romantica is a gorgeous gem of a book by one of my favorites, Diane Keaton. This book features some of the most beautiful California Mission and Spanish Colonial style homes.

Bunny Williams restored, renovated, and decorated an 18th-century New England manor house. This book gives us a look at the home and the restoration process. I love the idea of giving this to a new homeowner as inspiration for a project.

If you love design even half as much as I do, you already love (or will love) Athena Calderone. This book is a look at how creatives decorate their homes. 

Same goes with Mark D. Sikes. He’s one of my favorite interior designers, and I’ve pulled a lot of inspiration from his work. I might use some of his Schumacher fabrics in our new home, too. Like his projects, this book is full of blue-and-white vignettes, wicker, and gorgeous patterns.

I love the homes featured in this book. The look is “soft modern” and it really resonates with me. Victoria Hagan touches on how to add soul and warmth to modern homes.
