Find decor inspiration from these books that cover design history, the origins of colour and the vibrant work of interior designers and architects around the world
Much as we do enjoy browsing Pinterest and Instagram for decor ideas, there is just something quite so serendipitous about finding inspiration from design tomes. Whether you’re revisiting a cherished volume from your own shelves or discovering new reads in a well-stocked bookstore and in your favourite library, you might just chance upon that next great idea for your next home renovation.
Besides getting ideas for colour schemes, or being acquainted with design styles or the work of notable architects and designers around the world, there are plenty of reasons to pick up these inspiring reads; and yes, they can make excellent additions for your #shelfies too.
The best of these books are both beautifully presented and wonderfully written in ways that intrigue curious minds and stir up that desire to delve deeper into the realm of design. Take a page (pardon the pun) from these volumes nominated by editors from Tatler Homes as their favourite reads, and cover a wide variety of subjects.
