Coffee Table Books — Décor You Can Open
A large-format book is the easiest luxury styling piece there is. The cover brings colour and character to a table, and the pages inside hold photography worth returning to again and again. Fashion titles add a bold, glamorous note to a dressing room or living room, while travel books — Italian coastlines, Riviera hotels, desert escapes — suit majlis and family rooms where guests enjoy browsing. Stack two or three with the largest at the bottom, turn the top cover slightly, and place one object beside them, such as a vase or a candle.
Fine Stationery for Desks and Writing Corners
Premium stationery turns an everyday desk into a place you enjoy sitting at. Elegant notebooks, letter paper and writing sets suit home offices, study corners and the top drawer of a console — anywhere a handwritten note still matters. In Saudi homes, fine stationery is also kept ready for thank-you notes after weddings and gatherings, and for the gift cards that accompany Eid and housewarming presents.
Books and Stationery as Gifts
- For a new home: a travel or interiors book is a sophisticated housewarming gift that instantly decorates the coffee table.
- For fashion lovers: a designer title such as a Valentino book is bold, personal and made to be displayed.
- For hosts: pair a book with fine stationery for a refined thank-you gift after a dinner or majlis invitation.
- For the office: elegant stationery upgrades a colleague's or client's desk without being too personal.
How to Care for Luxury Books
Keep large books away from direct sunlight, which fades covers, and wipe dust from the edges with a dry cloth. Store them flat or upright with support — leaning books warp over time. Keep drinks on coasters nearby: a coffee ring is the one decoration a luxury book never needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best coffee table books for a living room?
The best coffee table books are large-format hardcovers with strong covers and rich photography. Fashion titles suit a glamorous living room, while travel books such as the Amalfi Coast suit a relaxed one. Choose cover colours that already appear in your cushions or rug, and the stack will look planned rather than random.
How do I style books on a coffee table?
Stack two or three books with the largest at the bottom, and rotate the top book slightly for a relaxed, designed look. Place one single object beside the stack — a vase, a candle or a small sculpture. Leave the rest of the table empty; that calm surface is what makes the styling look premium.
Are luxury books a good gift in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, a luxury coffee table book is one of the safest elegant gifts in Saudi Arabia, personal without being risky. It decorates the receiver's home from the first day, whether it lands on a coffee table, console or shelf. Fashion and travel titles are the most popular choices for housewarmings, weddings and hosts.
What is the difference between a coffee table book and a normal book?
A coffee table book is large in format, hardcover, and built around photography and visual storytelling rather than long text. A normal book is made mainly to be read from cover to cover. The coffee table book does both jobs: it is genuinely enjoyable to browse and designed to be displayed as décor.
Where can I buy Assouline-style books in Saudi Arabia?
RIS stocks a curated selection of luxury travel and fashion books in the Assouline style, delivered across Saudi Arabia. Titles cover iconic destinations and designers, from the Amalfi Coast to Valentino. You can also browse the books in person at our Jeddah showroom before choosing.
How many books should I put on a coffee table?
Two or three books in a single stack is the classic, refined amount for a coffee table. A very large table can carry two smaller stacks, one at each end. Avoid covering the whole surface — the empty space around the stack is what makes the arrangement look luxurious.
Can I display books in a majlis?
Yes, books display beautifully in a majlis and give guests something enjoyable to browse over Arabic coffee. Choose travel, heritage and hospitality titles with elegant hardcover spines. Keep them on a side table or a low central table where guests can reach them without disturbing the seating.
What stationery do I need for a home desk?
Start with a quality notebook, letter paper or a writing set, and a tray or drawer near the desk to keep them tidy. That simple set covers notes, lists, gift cards and thank-you letters after weddings and gatherings. Elegant stationery turns those small writing jobs into a pleasure instead of a chore.
How do I protect book covers from fading?
Keep books out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, because sun fades covers and spines over time. Dust the edges regularly with a dry cloth so grit does not scratch the covers. Store books flat or standing upright with support — leaning books warp and bend out of shape.
Are fashion books suitable for a dressing room?
Yes, a designer fashion book is made for a dressing room or dressing table — a Valentino title adds a bold, sophisticated note that reflects the room's purpose. Display one or two standing or stacked on the dressing table. Pair the book with a small tray or candle for a true boutique feeling.
Can I use books as décor on shelves?
Yes, books are one of the easiest shelf-styling tools: alternate vertical rows of standing books with horizontal stacks. Add one decorative object per shelf section, and keep the spines within one colour family. That rhythm makes open shelving look curated and calm rather than crowded and random.
Do you deliver books across Saudi Arabia?
Yes, RIS delivers books and stationery to all regions of Saudi Arabia, packed flat with protected corners so covers arrive crisp. Delivery is free in main cities on orders of 2,500 SAR or more. You can also visit our Jeddah showroom to browse the titles in person.
