How to Style Your Coffee Table

Coffee tables should not be used for random junk like bobby pins, gum wrappers, toenail clippers, and ash trays (yuck!). Your coffee table is usually the centerpiece of a social space. So why not make your coffee table a conversation starter! I have several tips on styling your coffee table and take your living space from drab to fab-u-lous!

 

This is definitely the most simplest set up for your coffee table. Stack a few of your favorite books (great conversation starters) and add some pretty flair with a vase full of beautiful flowers. It's not necessary to have this exact set up, but you can have the flowers beside the books, play with different positions, and maybe find similar colors for the flowers that may pop out on the book covers. Add candles for that extra glam factor. 

Stick with the same color scheme, it will make the process easier. Try a coffee table tray to keep everything nice and tidy. 

BALANCE
The key to styling your coffee table is finding some sort of balance. Try dividing the decor into equal sections. A rectangular table is three sections, a round or square table is divided into four.

Fill them with stack of books, a plant or a vase of flowers, a piece of sculpture or a unique basket, a tray with a collection of unique or special items, a decorate bowl with fruit or other objects, or a great box (that can also hold your TV remotes). Play with color and have fun with decorating your space.

Remember, it's the little things that make your place, YOUR place. So make sure it has YOU written all over it. Happy styling!
