Neutral Coffee Table Books 

One of the easiest ways to style a side table or bookshelf is by using big and beautiful Coffee Table Books. I’ve been collecting them for years and absolutely love reading them AND decorating with them. Each and every time we move, I find a new place to show them off! We have a very neutral living room (although I can’t wait for the day when I’m bold enough to bring COLOR into my space!) So, I’ve created a list of my favorite neutral Coffee Table Books, sure to look good in any space.

Pro-Tip: If you already have a bunch of books but don’t like the paper cover on the outside, I’ve often found that if you remove the paper cover, the actual book is a more neutral color. I love the look of those on bookshelves as well.
