Ok, which ones am I forgetting? I want to keep expanding this list to make it a reference for designers who need beautiful books to style with and also for adults who can't read.
And stayed tuned because tomorrow I'll be announcing a giveaway for one of these beautiful books.
PS- If you haven't entered to win $50 worth of custom frames from Poppy Tree Frames, today is the last day!
* yes, Kelly Wearstler's next book made the list even though its on pre-order until October.
Those are some awesome ones! What about "Decorate: 1,000 Design Ideas for Every Room in Your Home" by Holly Becker
ReplyDeleteI want that list you have..going to save it and work on my collection : )
I love books and I love this! I don't think my movers were too happy last week with the amount of books I had. They should be glad that I had already put away half in storage before they arrived! I've yet to do a post on books on my blog yet. You've inspired me to get to creatin one!

I did a huge search on Amazon the other day for coffee table books- about ten of these are on my list!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Elizabeth of the Corner Apartment
You have to add Avedon Fashion (link below)! It's one of my favorites. I can't tell you how many of these books are high on my must-have list!

I've recently been on the hunt for books like this, so thank you for so many suggestions! I especially love Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese are great suggestions! Bookmarking this -- I really need to build my coffee table book collection.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh! One of each please! I wonder if I could get them all what the bill would be? I really do want them all....I think I have like 3 of them
ReplyDeleteI've been dying for that allegra hicks book. It is my dream to one day go into Barnes and Noble and spend $$$ on tons of design books.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the Penguin Books designed by Coralie Bickford- Smith. These books are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI knew I could look to you for good direction on this one. I am really intrigued by that Helmut Newton Polaroids book. I have the Allure of Women (Assouline) and love it- every page is wonderful. That's my 1 suggestion! :)
ReplyDeleteWow what an inclusive collection! I have the Domino Book and it is absolutely amazing. I'm really lusting after "Good Bones, Great Pieces". That Jay-Z book has an absolutely gorgeous cover! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, can I have one of each? Amazing selection!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great list of books. A beautiful book brings so much to the table, literally!

I LOVE this list! I have dreamt of having a small library for as long as I can remember. Taschen makes the most beautiful books. I'm an architect so naturally I'd say you need to add a few architecture books to your list. Tadao Ando, Art Edition by Taschen is on my radar, however coming in at $3000 I'm pretty sure it's not going to make it onto my bookshelf anytime soon.
