With the right accessories, a coffee table can be the defining piece of home furniture in your living room. Regardless of the shape, size, and material of your table, you can style it to make it look luxurious and tasteful. Whether you’re new to styling or just looking for fresh ideas, use the following tips to create a truly stunning centerpiece.

How to Elevate Your Coffee Table’s Design

1. Create a Cohesive Theme

When choosing items for styling, it’s easy to forget the rest of your home furniture. It’s important that all the accessories you select for your coffee table fit in.

High-end photography books are perfect for rich wood tables in cozy, rustic living rooms. If you have a rug beneath the table, you may want to do minimal styling so the objects don’t overwhelm the eye. Neutral living rooms offer the most styling potential, since most objects will match monochromatic wall paint and home furniture.

2. Use Bowls

The centerpiece of your coffee table can be a large bowl. This is a functional piece that has plenty of aesthetic power.

Choose a low, wide wood bowl for storing remotes and other items. You can also choose a smaller bowl to hold faux fruits or candy. Both ornate and minimalistic bowls will work well with wooden tables. If you have a marble tabletop, complex patterns may take the attention away from its luxurious appeal.

3. Add Height

One of the best ways to create dimension in a room is by adding height. Choose a simple, thin tray and place various accessories on it. These could be tiered trinket displays, scented candles, a small potted plant, or a tabletop statue. Selecting items of various heights will create balance and order.

You can blend squared and circular objects on both rectangular and round coffee tables. Just make sure that any decor pieces in opposing shapes aren’t predominant.
