If you’ve taken to watching celebrity and influencer house tours during social distancing, you may have noticed a strange trend. The glamorous trend to have a standard piece of home decor that signals their wealthy status: coffee table books. Specifically, these are coffee table books decorated with the names of luxury designer brands like Chanel and Dior.
Like designer bags, these books are chic, timeless and prominently feature brand names and logos for an instant impression. The books often decorate vanities or are placed prominently on shelves for maximum impact. Sometimes, they even decorate actual coffee tables. Chilling, I know.

Jokes aside, these books are actually a great way to add a relatively inexpensive touch of luxury to your home decor. For the fashion lover, they even can be something worthy of cracking open to peruse, often detailing the history of iconic brands through photos and interviews. If you love to watch a brand’s runway show, you’ll love their coffee table book.

Yet even if these coffee table books are a fraction of the cost of a designer handbag, they can still cost upwards of $100. If you want to get discounts on luxury coffee table books, try reselling websites like Abe Books and Biblio. But even without relying on second-hand books, you can likely afford one or more of these titles.
