Who could look past the fashion and designer range from Thames & Hudson. Featuring tomes that dive deep into the origins of the most well-known fashion houses, like Prada, Chanel and Dior, it’ll be hard to stop at just one.

A Slim Aarons book by your coffee table will instantly lift your spirits, even when it is grey outside. Featuring snaps of beaming blue skies, luxurious pools and coastal scapes, as well as interesting stories about extraordinary women, every page is worth lingering on.

If you’re more interested in flavours than fashion and photography, perhaps cookbooks are best suited in your home.
