How to Style Your Coffee Table
I am often asked by clients how to style their coffee tables and what to do with the blank canvas sitting in their living rooms. If you don't know where to start, it can be a difficult process to master and a missed opportunity to show your personality.
By following these simple steps you can help bring your coffee table to life:
Start with stacks of books: Beautiful hardcover books are the perfect starting point. Choose your favourite topics and treat yourself to some interesting reads. They are not only perfect for styling, but also great conversation starters!
Add a tray or bowl: I always like to add in a storage piece of either a tray or bowl. Inevitably every coffee table will collect remotes, coasters and those little necessities of every day life. By putting these in one contained space, they will look not only look neat and purposefully arranged, but you will also always know where to find them!
Decor Items: Add in some pieces that ring true to you and your family. That may be a beautiful candle that reminds you of a holiday, or an interesting small scale sculptural object you collected.
Natural Elements: The final layer of adding a piece of nature will bring your coffee table to life! Fresh flowers are always a perfect addition, but if that's not achievable, greenery from the garden or even a striking rock or a piece of coral will work just as well.
Once you have layered these elements on your coffee table, stand back and enjoy the extra warmth and interest you have added to your space.
