A considered approach to arranging everyday objects

Colin King’s book treats home styling as a practice of looking closely at the objects already in a room. Across visual essays and anecdotes, it considers how scale, proportion, palette, and texture shape arrangements on surfaces ranging from bookshelves to windowsills. The emphasis is on re-seeing familiar possessions and composing them in new ways, with room for chance and personal meaning. Its subject sits between practical decorating and reflection on how everyday surroundings take shape.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home decorators interested in composing objects already in their spaces.
  • Readers who enjoy visual explorations of interiors and everyday design.
  • Those curious about the role of scale, color, and texture in home styling.

Book overview

"New York-based stylist Colin King shares his wisdom and insights for cultivating beauty in our everyday surroundings--composing objects into simple, sophisticated vignettes that enrich our homes and our lives. We all desire our rooms to look attractive and reflect a considered approach. Now we have the mastery of Colin King to help us elevate our spaces into environments of personal creativity. Image after image, readers will discover how Colin works his magic when arranging objects on coffee tables, mantels, bookshelves, bedside tables, windowsills, and more. Through a series of anecdotes and visual essays, Colin unpacks his intuitive and deeply personal process, meditating on scale, proportion, palette, and texture. It's not about buying new things, but rather about dusting off old favorites and seeing them with fresh eyes--looking beyond intended use to discover deeper meaning in the everyday. There's always the element of chance while contemplating new arrangements again and again. Styling, readers will discover, is a metaphor for life and a daily practice to be honed over time."--
