Even though we have Pinterest and all sorts of amazing online sources of decorating information and inspiration, there’s nothing quite like slowly turning the pages of a beautifully photographed decorating book. Every page draws you in, and gets your mind racing with ideas. Here are 10 beautiful decorating books that you can put on your Christmas list to inspire your decorating projects in 2017.
Living Life Beautifully by Nancy Alsop
This book tells the story of how Christina founded legendary fabric company Cabbages & Roses and grew it into a lifestyle brand.
Life | Style by Tricia Foley
Tricia is all about creating pure and simple interiors.
In Pursuit of Beauty by Timothy Whealon
This is classical decorating at it’s best.
A House by the Sea by Bunny Williams
Cupcakes & Cashmere at Home by Emily Schuman
I have Emily’s first book, Cupcakes & Cashmere which I loved, so I’d like to see more of her home.
The World of Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell Blue & White Style by Gail Abbott
Patina Farm by Brooke & Steve Giannetti
Their beautiful Californian farmhouse is full of patina charm.
Beautiful by Mark Sikes
This book is hot off the press (you can only get it on Amazon at the moment) and features classic American decorating.
Because every woman deserves a shed to call her own!
I would happily have any of these books for Christmas. What about you? Which book would be on your Christmas wish list?
