When it comes to inspiring coffee table books that exude a festive, fun, and fashionable touch, one of my favorite books is by famed landscape photographer Gray Malin. This vibrant and captivating coffee table book features a variety of his best-selling images, ranging from playful animals posed at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs to stunning pictures of the Amalfi Coast that denote ‘la dolce vita’ in all its glory. What I especially love about this particular coffee table book is that it instantly changes the vibe of your space, just by flipping the page. One day you might be in the mood to dream about voyaging to a faraway land, and the next day you’re inspired by one of the cheery images depicting llamas dolled up in party balloons.
Speaking of inspiring artwork for your home, as a photographer, I love printing images from my vacations and then framing and hanging them on a gallery wall. It’s an easy way to showcase your favorite destinations while exuding a personal touch to any space. These high-quality matted wood picture frames instantly elevate any home, while making it a fun and effortless way to update your decor.
As a home decor enthusiast, I often love learning from style experts and interior designers. From tips and tricks about how to decorate any particular space, to design ideas and inspiration, a must-have book, in my opinion, is the New York Times best-selling book titled Elements of Style. This gorgeous book features a number of helpful ideas from design expert and blogger, Erin Gates. Plus, the cover is so stunning, it makes for a pretty decorative accessory as well, ideal for an entry way or living room.
Naturally, if you’re a fashion lover, a wonderful coffee table book to add to your collection is this book by Chanel. Featuring all types of breathtaking photos ranging from jewelry to apparel, this gorgeous coffee table book is not only a must-have for any stylish home, but it’s also a great hostess gift as well.
While we’re on the subject of hostessing, whenever you invite guests over, you want to ensure they’re greeted by a warm and inviting aroma the moment they step inside your space. That’s why this chic, contemporary-looking aromatic essential oil diffuser is an easy way to make sure your home always smells beautiful. Plus, essential oils are healthier for you, so you’ll feel good while making your space smell great. To uplift and energize your space, opt for cheery citrus scents; for a calming effect, try lavender essential oil.
While I wouldn’t call it a home decor item, per se, having extra charging devices handy is always a good idea. Whether you’re a busy gal (or guy) who needs to make sure all your electronic devices are charged and ready to go, or you’re planning on having guests over (who might need to charge their cellphones, after a night of uploading photos to social media), this compact power strip comes with a variety of charging outlets including USB ports. I especially love this easy-to-use device in my home office, and while on the go during vacations.
If Marie Kondo has ever inspired you to find joy in tidying up and getting organized, then we’d probably be good friends, because I’m a bit of an organizing nut. Just give me an hour in the Container Store, and I’ll spend as much money as a fashionista shopping at Saks. The truth is – being organized not only makes your home look more beautiful, but it actually has the power to reduce stress (as studies prove that clutter and disorganization waste time and boost anxiety for most people), and it also makes everyday tasks (like cooking meals at home) more enjoyable. That said, these acrylic organizing bins are a great way to tidy up your refrigerator and freezer.
Last, but certainly not least, are these baking trays. These professional-quality cookie trays make it a pleasure to bake everything from cookies to pies. Plus, they’re easy to clean after you’re done whipping up a feast in the kitchen. So, the next time you’re hosting guests, you’ll find that having reliable cookie trays is an easy way to bake a variety of delectable desserts they’ll love.
