How to Decorate a Coffee Table
How you decorate a coffee table can change the entire look of the space. Second only to the sofa the coffee table is the workhorse of the living room. The coffee table can serves as a make shift dining table, a place to put your feet up or the spot that house your remotes.
We’ve had our coffee table for as long as I can remember. It was one of the first pieces of furniture my mom bought as a newlywed. It seen it’s fare share of TV shows, hosted countless meals and a rousing game or two of monopoly. I was straightening up the house the other day and just decided it was time to shop the house and properly fancy up the coffee table. The question I asked myself is how do you make it both stylish and useful.
After a bit of internet research and some cleaver observation here are five pieces that I think bring together both form and function and will turn your coffee table into a beautiful decorated space.
- Books – for your guests to read. Duh They’re called coffee table books for a reason!
- Box – for storing those unsightly remotes in one convenient place.
- Flowers – for texture a color, don’t have fresh flowers consider a potted plant or succulents.
- Object, for something personal unexpected, my shell ball was bought back on a weekend getaway.
- Tray, for holding the previously mentioned items
