Sunday Styling - Coffee Table Styling
I must admit coffee table and side table styling is what I personally find the most challenging when completing a home style. Give me lots of cushions and throws and I can co-ordinate and create a cosy and warm space in the blink of an eye, but coffee tables I tend to overthink it, move it around a million times over.
So this Sunday Styling we are going to explore some key styling tips and tricks for coffee and side tables - let's do this!!
Styling a coffee or side table is all about creating a visually pleasing but functional display in your living area.
Choose a focal point: Start by selecting a focal point that will anchor your display, such as a vase, a sculpture, or a decorative box.
Then add height: Create visual interest by adding items of varying heights to your display. This could be accomplished by using a stack of books or a tall candlestick. Add height to a vase by popping it on top of your book stack for example.
Use trays: If your table size allows it using a tray is a great way to corral small items and create structure on your coffee table. Try using a decorative tray to hold coasters, candles, or other small decor items.
Group items in odd numbers: Grouping items in odd numbers creates a more natural and visually appealing display. Try grouping three decorative objects together, such as a vase, a candle, and a small sculpture.
Mix textures and materials: Combining different textures and materials adds depth and interest to your display. Consider incorporating items like a woven basket, a ceramic vase, and a metallic candle holder.
Consider the scale: Be mindful of the size of your coffee table and the items you are using. Avoid overcrowding your table or using items that are too small or too large for the space.
Don't forget functionality: Remember that your coffee table serves a functional purpose as well. Make sure to leave enough space for drinks, snacks, or other items you might use while relaxing in your living room.
