In Arranging Things, stylist Colin King breaks down how to make rooms feel intentional without looking over designed. Rather than strict rules, he offers principles; scale, negative space, repetition, and shows them at work in still lifes, tabletops, and corners of real homes. The photography is calm and airy, with plenty of examples that feel achievable in modest spaces.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it focuses on styling rather than renovation, which is where most people actually have control. Arranging Things is a strong pick for renters, design‑curious readers, and anyone who wants their shelves and surfaces to feel more like a thought‑out composition than a catch‑all.
