“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'.”

"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
