Coffee Table STYLING GUIDE
Is your coffee table sitting empty right now? If you answered yes, you’re missing a great opportunity to elevate your living room and add some personal style.
One of my favourite furniture pieces to style is the coffee table. It's the centrepiece of any living room and the perfect opportunity to showcase your personality and style. So, let's dive into some inspiration and tips for styling a coffee table.
Start with a Tray
First things first, start with a tray if your coffee table is square or rectangular. A tray is not only functional, but it also helps to corral your items and create a cohesive look. Choose a tray that complements your decor style, whether it's rustic wood, sleek metal, or patterned ceramic.
Add Some Books
Books are a great way to add colour, texture, and height to your coffee table. Choose books that are visually interesting, with bold colours, beautiful covers, or interesting subject matter. Stack them up and use them as a base for your other items.
Incorporate Natural Elements
Natural elements, like flowers, plants, and stones, bring life and texture to your coffee table. Use a small vase or jar to hold fresh flowers or greenery, or incorporate a small potted plant.
Mix and Match Textures
Mixing and matching textures adds depth and interest to your coffee table. Combine smooth, shiny objects with rough, textured ones for a visually interesting display. For example, pair a sleek metal vase with a woven basket or a wooden box.
Personalise with Objects
Lastly, personalise your coffee table with objects that reflect your personality and interests. Maybe it's a collection of something, a set of antique brass figurines, or a framed photo of your travels. Whatever it is, make it personal and meaningful to you.
So there you have it! My top tips for styling a coffee table. Remember to start with a tray, add some books, incorporate natural elements, mix and match textures, and personalise with objects. With these simple tips, you'll have a stylish and personalised coffee table that reflects your unique style and personality.
Happy styling!
