Have you guys gotten bitten by the coloring bug yet? Coloring books are not just for kids anymore. Aside from being a whole lot of fun coloring decreases stress and increases creativity.
The Best Adult Coloring Books
Coloring has been a hobby of mine for a while now and I’ve since gotten friends and family in on the fun. Josh and I love our coloring dates and have even used coloring as a way to talk out arguments. It keeps us calm and focused on something easy and soothing while we talk.
There are a lot of adult coloring books out there on the market right now, so I wanted to share some of my favorites. These are all high-quality, absolutely beautiful coloring books that I hope you’ll love.
There are so many great options out there I couldn’t limit my picks to 10, so here are my 11 favorite adult coloring books.

Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of coloring? Do you color with markers, crayons, or colored pencils? Which book is your favorite?
I haven’t colored since I was a child and now I’m hearing about Adult coloring books and I’m so intrigued. I may just purchase one and sit down wth my boys while they are coloring and see if I still like it!
I’ve always loved to color…I just did it old school with crayons and Hello Kitty until recently. Now I’ve got some pencils and coloring pages from Plum Deluxe. It’s saving my sanity doing it on a regular basis these days – almost every night!
I haven’t bought an adult coloring book yet, but I color with Eleanor a lot! Does that count? 😉
Those are all so fun! I like the Coloring for Grown-Ups: Adult Activity Book because it’s hilarious.
Ah brilliant! I remembered seeing a Harry Potter one before and I’d forgotten all about it – thank you for reminding me! It’s next on my list 🙂

Wow, those coloring books are so beautiful! I have an eleven year old daughter who would love to do this with me! The animal ones are my fave 🙂
I’ve tried coloring books but it doesn’t seem to relax me… I start coloring and all I can think about is how much stuff I have to get done and then my toddler tries to steal my pencils lol it’s just a hassle, but I really tried!
I haven’t tried these but I am giving one as a gift this year. I’m worried I would spend way too much time coloring if I had one of my own!
I saw your FB post about this and was intrigued! :looks awesome.
I want the Harry Potter, Outlander, Secret Garden, and a mermaid one I saw so bad! I have a fairy one currently and I use pencil crayons. I love colouring so much I want them ALL!
I did a post last Friday including them in my five Friday favourites for helping you de-stress. Colouring is so the way to go! Glad there are finally adult colouring books so I can graduate my little kid ones I used to use.
Your post just made me drool lol seeing all those beautiful books!

Love this! Don’t forget the 2 Old 2 Color Series! Love those!
I have Tropical World. It’s art therapy for me. I’ve also tried Origami, but it was getting too hard for me and I was just making frogs, so I switched to coloring. 🙂
I have three adult coloring books. They help me wind down and relax after a stressful day!
I have definitely caught the coloring bug! I usually color with coloring pencils since they’re pretty precise with their points and it makes it easier to color with. I had the Secret Garden one but gave it to my sister because she wanted it. 🙂 I would LOVEEE that HP one.
Love it! I recently started coloring (as an adult 😉 ) and didn’t find too many coloring books that I really liked…. I’ll have to check these out!
I love coloring books! I have fantastic cities and it’s really fun 🙂
I didn’t even know that these existed!!!! This is amazing!
I put the Harry Potter one on my Christmas list! And I want a Game of Thrones one, too! 🙂
WOW, I really need these right about now, I just had surgery on my Achilles Tendon and can’t do anything. I love to color and all of these look like a great way to pass the time. I may have to order these. Thanks for sharing this post and giving me an idea 🙂

Thanks for posting this! It’s given me an idea for stocking stuffers.
This is a genius idea! I just heard about adult coloring books and I need to buy one asap! Great tips for when I buy myself one!

I love adult coloring books. I have 5 of them now (some from your list!) and find them to be relaxing. I was trying to think of ideas for new ones to give as gifts and love this list!
LOVE your coloring books post! They are a great way to relieve stress, relax and let your creative side flow out. Good for your health!
I really want an adult coloring book.
I really enjoyed coloring as a kid so I am sure I would still love it now.

I saw these in Paris in the Tuileries Gardens and loved the idea. I want to give it a try. Are people using crayons or colored pencils? I think I would enjoy it more with colored pencils. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen so many cute adult coloring books lately and it sounds like such a fun hobby and way to relax. Thanks for sharing these pretty ones!
I really appreciate this I’m wanting to get into them
I am so on board with this trend. It really is soothing and a great way to relieve stress. These look awesome!
Ohh, I like the Harry Potter coloring book! It cracks me up how popular this is now, it seems like every store I go in from Michaels to Walmart has a display of adult coloring books! Makes sense though, who doesn’t love coloring? 🙂 It kind of makes me angry though, I’ve noticed that they’re more expensive than kid’s coloring books, grrr.
Coloring has always been a stress-reducer for me. I actually have a few of these and will be giving some to my artsy sister for Christmas.
Love these!!!! They would make PERFECT Christmas gifts!!!!
I love adult coloring books! I’ve been eyeing them for months and just got one this week 🙂
I have been wanting to start on the colouring books, but can’t seem to find one that I really like! I saw a game of thrones on Facebook!
Just from the cover art I would be excited to try the Cities coloring book and of course Harry Potter!
HUGE FAN of coloring!! I don’t make much time for it lately and pretty much only use colored pencils, however, I do like fine tip inks. If I get more into it, I’ll probably make adjustments. 😉 My friend gave me a fun 1960’s book with some cool abstract pages. Super detailed though, so it’s going to take a long time for me unless I carve out more time in my days! Call me crazy but I think they’d look wonderful framed and how special to have personal “artwork” in the home or office!!
