A coffee table should reflect
who you are as a person: your interests, where you’ve been, taste et cetera. A
coffee table is not just another flat surface to put things on as you walk in
the door, but rather should be used to enhance and be the centerpiece of a
room. I have always loved books; for me, once I read something I feel like it
becomes part of who I am and causes me to look at things from a different point
of view. Coffee table books are a great why to add dimension to a flat surface,
add an element of design, and reflect your interests. So here are my top ten
coffee table book picks!
