5 tips on styling your coffee table

In our opinion, coffee tables are the centerpiece of any living room. They are often the cherry on top of a beautifully designed space. But like all things, they can either elevate or take away from a room. See below for 5 simple tips on how to style the coffee table in your home.

Determine Your Color Scheme

Looking around at the rest of your room, pull 3-4 colors from your walls, furniture, and art work, and try to keep everything on your coffee table within this color family.

Create Sections

The more you group things together on your table, the more put together it will feel. Great ways to make this task easier are with simple trays and…

Books!

Stacking books is a great way to fill space on your table, and to create a simple section for you to place items and kick knacks on top of. For budget-friendly options, visit your local used book store to find neatly designed books within your color scheme. One of our favorite coffee table books is the Architectural Digest Coffee Table Book.

Natural Elements

Incorporating natural elements such as a vase of flowers, small plants, or faux branches gives the arrangement some height, color and texture.

Height

Speaking of height, it can bring a lot more excitement and interest to the table! Thinking about the heights of your coffee table objects as a “triangle” formation (see both images above) can make for a balanced design.
