Accessories for your coffee table

• There are three go-to coffee table staples to accessorize with: books, candles and candle holders and flowers. A carefully selected stack of books and magazines that you can look through will add color, texture and a personal touch to your living room, while candles allow you to create a cozy ambience.
• Flowers and plants make a striking coffee table centerpiece, but they’ll need replacing frequently, so you may want to consider plants as an alternative. They add just as much vibrancy and should last longer when cared for properly. If you don’t have the greenest of fingers, try small succulents which require very little maintenance.
• Get creative. Prefer to make a statement? Be adventurous with your coffee table and use it as somewhere to display more unusual trinkets and ornaments. Alternatively, your coffee table could be the perfect place for a special ornament or souvenir you’ve picked up from your travels, or any antiques or collectibles you’ve been wanting to display.
• Don’t go overboard. While it’s the decorative touches that will make your coffee table stand out, you don’t want it to look cluttered. Limit your arrangement to specific areas or the center of the table, making sure there’s still space for food and drink. Keep things simple so as not to overwhelm the eye, especially if you’ve got a glass coffee table.
• If you choose a coffee table with storage, you can keep your books, magazines and other home’s decorative accessories in this space while making the surface all about your own personal style.
