We all love a good coffee table book that we can read after a long day or use as decoration itself.
Sometimes, it’s hard to find a book with a beautiful cover and interesting content from a respected author.
If you’re looking for a coffee table or end table book to give yourself (and your guests) French interior inspiration, check out my favorite!
Country Brocante Style: Where English Country Meets French Vintage
This gorgeous book by Lucy Haywood has tons of French Country inspiration. The photographs are beautiful and accompanied by descriptions carefully created by Haywood.
When I saw the book, I knew I had to have it. Haywood does a good job explaining how to achieve the perfect interior look.
Her book has something for everyone, whether your home has a vintage and traditional touch or a modern and cottage touch.
She beautifully blends the two styles and teaches you how to do the same. She pairs her ideas with pictures to visualize how to achieve these themes and interior designs.
Various French Styles
In her book, Haywood discusses her love for various French Styles. She discusses how she finds decor items and inspiration at field sales and incorporates vintage pieces with her English Country finds.
She teaches you how to blend the traditional and vintage styles with modern country styles and takes you along her own interior journeys.
By the time you finish the book, you feel like you have a new friend and interior designer. You and your guests won’t want to put it down.
This book is affordable and available on Amazon!
French Interior Design Magazine
If you’re more of a magazine person (I can relate), I have a great recommendation for you as well!
My French County Home is a beautiful magazine that brings you authentic French inspiration. This magazine is full of gorgeous pictures and ideas to enhance your French-inspired home from the front cover to the last page.
You’ll find decor ideas, furniture ideas, and even authentic French recipes. This magazine prints every two months, meaning your subscriptions gives you six magazines a year.
These magazines will look amazing on your coffee table or end tables. Your friends and family will love looking through the amazing photos, and they’ll want copies of the delicious recipes.
Personally, I have a blend of magazines and books that I keep around. My coffee table currently has Haywood’s book and the two latest copies of My French Country Home magazine.
It brings a personal touch to my living room and gives me beautiful reading options after a long day at work.
