Style tricks for coffee tables

So much more than a surface for mugs and TV remotes, coffee tables offer all sorts of potential to brighten up your living room. A glass coffee table makes for an elegant, subtle addition to the room, while a coffee table with storage is perfect for creating space for a striking centerpiece. Need some design inspiration? Here are a few ways you can make your coffee table the focal point of your living room.

Trust in age-old tricks

Our three go-to staples to accessorize coffee tables with are books, candles 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 make a striking centerpiece, but they’ll need replacing frequently, so you may want to consider artificial plants or small succulents that require very little maintenance as an alternative.

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 are interested in glass coffee tables.

A great option is to go for coffee tables with storage so you can keep your books, magazines and other living room essentials out of the way, while making the surface all about your own personal style.
