Room after room and image after image, readers will discover how star stylist Colin King 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, texture, and more. As he shares, it s not about buying new things, but rather about dusting off old favourites and seeing them with fresh eyes looking beyond intended use to discover deeper meaning in the everyday. It s about being decisive in the moment while giving yourself permission to change your mind. And it s about trying new arrangements again and again, finding out what the moment isn t, until you find out what the moment is. There s always the element of chance. Styling, readers will discover, is a metaphor for life and a daily practice to be honed over time. The go-to stylist for many of the world s leading brands and publications, Colin King is a regular contributor to Architectural Digest, T, Ark, and Rum magazines. He collaborates regularly with West Elm, Anthropologie, Zara Home, Crate & Barrel, and Roman and Williams Guild, and has his own celebrated product lines with Beni Rugs and Menu, with more in the works.

MEDIA REVIEWS

“Colin King, who styles spaces for major names like Roman and Williams Guild, is a master at artfully placing furniture and objects. His Rizzoli book, Arranging Things, written with Architectural Digest’s Sam Cochran, delves deep inside his process of composing everything from coffee tables and bookshelves to windowsill. It may also inspire readers to visually craft their own rooms.” —VOGUE "New York–based stylist Colin King gives insights for composing objects into sophisticated vignettes, advocating for seeing well loved items with fresh eyes." —House & Home   “Out now via Rizzoli, Arranging Things explores the magic of arranging and rearranging objects within your home, forming artistic vignettes that transcend the mundane. Above all, Colin adds that he didn’t want the book to offer a series of prescriptive tips but rather serve as inspiration for the reader to experiment with creating moments of beauty that feel personal and special to them: “I wanted to share my own experience in working through some of these kinds of concepts and what to pay attention to and what’s worked for me in the past,” he explains. “It really is this trial-and-error moment that, when you arrive at it, it just feels right.” —Architectural Digest   “While many may argue that personal style cannot be taught, those with a less natural inclination could stand to pick up a trick or two from the newly released interior design book by Colin King, Arranging Things. The self-taught creative has the ability to realise enviable interiors and settings, and his collaborations include Roman and Williams, Beni Rugs, Menu, Anthropologie and West Elm. Published by Rizzoli and filled with enigmatic rooms, tabletops and environments, King's debut tome distills his recognisable approach to objects and spaces with a simple manifesto: that 'any object can be a thing of beauty'.” —Wallpaper*    "The work of a stylist is really making art out of relationships — between shapes, textures, materials, and colors — in a way that’s satisfying to see. In just a few years, Colin King has become a stylist who continues to surprise us with his instincts, styling minimalist yet still visually rich interiors for clients like Roman and Williams Guild, Architectural Digest, and Anthropologie. Despite working with big brands, King’s approach is remarkably accessible and sustainable, and his book is a guide to looking at your own belongings with a fresh perspective." —New York Magazine/CURBED   "For King, who has been content working behind the scenes, the book is not only a chance to showcase some of his best work but also a way to unpack a process that, for him, has always been both mysterious and intuitive. A big part of the joy in King’s work — and something readily apparent when flipping through “Arranging Things” — is its deceptive simplicity. The book is filled with images of finely wrought objects (glassware, lamps, bits of pottery, soft upholstered edges) paired with roughly hewn tables and brutalist blocks of stone, marble, or wood." —Departures   “In his new book, Arranging Things, interior stylist Colin King collected images from his past work, his greatest hits, and even his iPhone to distill them into one highly teachable book that will make you want to stop scrolling and start marking pages with Post-its.” —Domino
