We usually spend much of our time in the living room watching TV, sipping coffee, chatting with friends and family, entertaining guests, and sometimes just chilling. A coffee table comes into play in all these cases and has to be set just right so that it is functional and serves as a centerpiece in the room so here some coffee table decor tips for your home
Here is how I like to decorate my coffee table at home.
Coffee Table Decor Tips With Greenery and other Natural Elements
A live plant in a fancy planter works best to add an element of freshness to the entire room. Make sure it is not too big for the table. I love to place succulents, as they are sure to attract attention with their colorful hues and amazing look. You can go for other natural elements of your choice, such as an assorted tray of coral, pebbles, and sea shells or pine cones thrown into a bowl.
Coffee Table Decor Tips With Flowers and Candles
What better way to add a touch of romance than flowers and candles? You have a variety of choices to choose from different models, colors, and shapes of candles. Place your pick in a trendy or a classic candleholder for a dramatic effect. Fresh flowers, preferably in a transparent vase, add to the charm. I love using metallic candle lanterns, as they appear elegant and artistic. I recommend using closed candle holders when pairing them with flowers to be on the safe side.
Books and Book Toppers
Another favorite choice of mine to go on the coffee table is books. The design of the covers adds an interesting look, and you can arrange them in a zigzag manner to create a funky pattern. Although there’s always a book I’m currently reading; I like to place books on different topics such as travel, housekeeping, and glam magazines so guests can pick one for themselves. You can also use small book toppers such as feathers, flowers lying down, geometric shapes, favorite ornaments, and other pretty things to accentuate the overall appeal.
Crafts and Collections
The coffee table also best showcases your exquisite collections and art pieces. If you are a creative person, then proudly show off your work, such as crocheted coasters, paper flowers, origami, pen holders, and other decorative items on the coffee table.
Trays and Baskets
Placing a small tray or basket on the table helps keep all the knick-knacks organized in one place. It makes gathering everything into the tray easier when you clear the table for setting up a board game or laying food. Trays and baskets add an element of contrast to the table. I love using wicker baskets or woven trays as they create an interesting pattern and serve as accent pieces for coffee tables.
