Styling a killer coffee table
Top 5 Coffee Table Styling Essentials
The changing of the seasons is a perfect reason to refresh your decor. And fall is all about bringing warmth into your home! Displaying objects that sit with the color palette of the room should add meaning and interest to your space. Your coffee table can be a conversation starter. Below we will help debunk the essentials to help style your coffee table
FORM + FUNCTION - Coffee Table
The key element to coffee table styling is the table itself. What you choose can finish a room or act as a conversation piece in which to gather around. It’s the foundation of the living room, with everything else circling around it. Before you start styling, divide your space into 4 separate quadrants, creating balance between each one.
SCULPTURE - Vessels, Vases or Pots
Incorporate some sort of vessel; whether it be a bowl, a vase, a box, or a basket. Include something that has the ability to contain other items. Layer pieces like ceramics, metal, wood or stone bowls.
ADD HEIGHT - Foliage & Greens
Greenery (or more earthy tones for fall) has a really special way of adding a sense of peace and calm to your home. We always find a space for a bundle of greens on our coffee table for that reason.
LAYER WITH INTENTION - Books -
Stacking coffee table books and boxes adds visual interest, breaking up the pattern of single objects on the table. Books are one of the best ways to make your home feel lived-in and inviting. Play with the number of books you display and stack. If your space is more modern with cleaner lines, try varying heights to break up sameness.What do your books say about your style?
CONVERSATION STARTERS - Objects -
We love adding an engaging object to ou coffee tables, it adds visual interest and a collected feel. Sit them on top of a stack of books or in a tray for a bit of structure and symmetry. Special objects you want to see everyday to help create a curated scene. Play with shape, size and color.
