Tips to Styling Your Coffee Table
Ever been to a house with those picture-perfect coffee tables? And then looked at your own, piled high with old newspapers and last month's magazines? Hey, no judgement here. But what if we told you there's a way to give your coffee table that same flawless look? Today, we've got 5 simple tricks up our sleeve to transform your table from chaotic to chic. Let's get started!
Stager Item Heights
While you might think height is just about reaching for the sky, it's actually a bit more layered than that. It's like cooking up a visual feast - having a mix of sizes and heights is like having different flavors on a plate. Imagine it as a three-tiered cake. The base tier? That's your tray and books. The middle tier? That's where your decorative pieces like an aromatic candle or a funky crystal come in. And the top tier? That's your crowning glory - a vase with a plant. Or switch things up with a short vase with a plant in the middle, and use the top for tall candlesticks and a towering empty vase. It's all about playing around and finding what looks good to you.
Add Layers by Using Several Items
You know, sometimes less is more. Think about your coffee table. Sure, you could pile on the knick-knacks, but do you really need more than three or four items? Consider a stack of books as just one piece and jazz it up with a lovely fresh or faux plant, some candles, or even coasters. But let's not go overboard - simplicity is key. We want our table to look inviting, not chaotic. Plus, you'll want to keep it functional. After all, where else are you going to put that wine glass or set up family game night? So, keep it stylish, keep it simple, and most importantly, keep it practical.
Add a Basket or Tray for Texture
You know, trays and baskets aren't always the first thing we think about when it comes to home decor. But trust me, they are little lifesavers when it comes to keeping things tidy and organized. Just pop in your knick-knacks, and voila! You've got yourself an orderly setup that's also pretty stylish. Plus, let's face it, we all need a sneaky spot for those pesky remotes.
Use a Variety of Shapes
Who says shape can't be expressive? Whether you're into uniform heights or a variety of shapes, either choice can make a visual impact. It all boils down to what suits your personal style.
Incorporating the Style of the Room
Ensure your accessories harmonize with your space. The final touch should be your coffee table decor. A touch of greenery or fresh flowers can enhance any room. Textural elements are intriguing up close - consider incorporate elements such as clay beads or vintage candle holders to introduce a charming touch to your space.
It might feel like a game of Tetris initially, shuffling your items around the tray or basket. But, take it from me, it's part of the fun! Just chill, go with the flow and let your creativity take over. It's all about enjoying the process, not over-complicating it.
