The coffee table is a living room staple that has wonderful decorative opportunities. You could leave it bare, but what is the fun in that? A coffee table or even an ottoman serving as a coffee table can be improved upon with some charming accessories. This is a great spot to bring in color, personality, and style to the space. You can inject your personal taste into it, giving the room some extra character.
The coffee table decor in the following living rooms exemplify the careful balance of great accessorizing. Though there are some important elements to getting it just right, it is not as daunting as it may seem at first. Follow the tips and ideas shown in these photos and you’ll be on your way to creating the perfect coffee table decor.
A tray is a popular addition to a coffee table because of its style, functionality, and organization. It can keep a variety of accessories contained in a way that makes them look stylish and organized instead of like random pieces floating about.
The square accessories here are fitted together like a puzzle to create a very clean and organized look. Each piece is so unique and tells its own story for a truly personalized vignette.
One large statement piece, like this beautiful orchid in a stunning bowl, would look nice on its own but looks even more complete sat in a tray with some smaller accessories placed around it.
A coffee table is the perfect spot for your grandmother’s beautiful antique tea set. Polish it up and mix it with some modern accents such as books and a lovely flower for a pop of color.
Take advantage of the shape of your coffee table by choosing accents that highlight it. By placing the books at angles around the potted plant, it keeps your eye moving.
Sometimes, less is more. A few well-chosen accent pieces pull together the color palette and style of the room in a very uncluttered arrangement.
For an all-white or neutral space, your coffee table accessories are a perfect spot to bring in some pops of color that are subtle but effective.
If you have two or more end tables, decorate them each a little differently. Here, one table holds large floral arrangements with glass domes while the other has shorter accessories to create depth and balance in the space.
Different levels keep your eye moving through decor, as seen here with books, candles, and a flower arrangement all in different shapes and sizes creating a perfect flow between objects.
If you have several of one type of thing (for example, unique boxes) then your coffee table could be the ideal spot to show them off. Some selected pieces arranged together with some other accents (books, fresh flowers) can create a solid vignette.
Putting together coffee table decor can be a fun project and an easy thing to change for each season.
