Decorating your coffee table can really enhance your living space! Here are some tips to create a stylish and functional setup:
Start with a Base: Use a decorative tray to anchor your items. It keeps things organized and adds texture.
Layering: Use different heights to create visual interest. Stack books or magazines, and include items like a small vase or a candle.
Natural Elements: Incorporate plants or flowers for a pop of color and freshness. A small succulent or a seasonal bouquet works well.
Personal Touches: Add personal items like framed photos or unique artifacts that reflect your style and interests.
Functionality: If you use the table for snacks or drinks, consider leaving space clear or using coasters that match your decor.
Seasonal Decor: Switch things up with the seasons. Add festive decorations or seasonal florals to keep the look fresh.
Texture Variety: Mix materials like wood, glass, metal, and fabric to create a more dynamic display.
Keep it Balanced: Ensure the arrangement feels balanced but not overly symmetrical. A mix of shapes and sizes will keep it visually appealing.
Remember to keep it functional, too! Make sure there’s enough space for drinks or snacks when entertaining. Happy decorating!
Do you want something different from your coffee table? Get inspiration from our five tips on how to create a stylish decoration that reflects your personality. Some ideas from our families who use their tables to express their creativity. Our first idea: more is more! A pile of beautiful books or a collection of little objects can have a sculptural feel that is sure to draw admiring looks and interest. An idea loved by Fanny Bauer who uses her low sideboard to display her treasures, just like a little curiosity cabinet. At Eugénie Trochu and Studiopepe coffee tables are gaining height: long candles and long-stemmed bouquest sit beside dishes, stem vases or ornamental trays. The surprising forms and materials of these playful compositions contrast with the sobriety of the tables. Our families love mixing the marble of a table with the ceramic of a vase. A taste for combining difference that we love at The Socialite Family, such as our design La Orso, which is an elegant setting for the marble of our Donna pot. Do you love colour? Have fun with the sparkling colours on the covers of your glossy books or with fruit bowls that can create relief on a surface that feels a little cold. If you’re more minimalist like Marianne Fersing choose tone on tone accessories that create a more restrained and sophisticated feel. So, decide which example you want to follow! Let your imagination run free and make your coffee table an original showcase of your personality!
