House Plant

Bring the outside in by adding some house plants to your coffee table. This is also an excellent way to add colour to your home. We recommend a pothos marble queen for a low maintenance, affordable plant. This variegated plant has beautiful white markings, an eye catching addition to your coffee table.

Tray

Create a beautiful cluster of your favourite accessories and style them on a tray. This brings order to your array of accessories making them look more considered and less messy. Trays also help if you a bit worried about where to place your items on your coffee table. Simply organize on the tray and then place it off centre and you are good to go.  A tray can often be the finishing touch you need to complete the styling of your coffee table accessories.

Dried Flowers

If your room has a more relaxed feel, dried flowers are an excellent styling choice. Complementing more neutral tones, they will look beautiful on your coffee table. They are also excellent as you do not need to worry about keep replacing them as you would with live flowers.

Candle

Set the mood by adding candles to your table. Not only do they create a cosy atmosphere, candles also leave your room smelling lovely! A great idea would be to style your tray with three pillar candles of varying heights. A mirrored tray would reflect the light for a beautiful affect.

Books

To every book lovers delight, a coffee table is a great place to display you most beautiful treasures. It’s also a great talking point if you have guests! Not much of a book lover? Visit a charity shop for cheap second hand books for a lovely styling option. Keep your eyes peeled for hardback books, as these will look much more attractive than paperback.

The Layout

With the accessories sorted we now need to consider how we place them. There are a few things to think about when positioning items on your coffee table.

No Symmetry

Place your items together but off centre. Trust us, this will make all the difference when styling your coffee table.

Heights

When choosing your different accessories keep in mind the heights. Varying the height of each item is visual appealing, completing the look of your coffee table. Dried flowers in a vase or a house plant are often the taller items that will achieve this look.

Colours

Keep your accessory colours slightly different to your coffee table. If they are similar separate with a contrasting tray. Neutral colours are often stunning but if your room is more modern why not try keeping it monochrome.
