3. Coffee Table Tray
Coffee table trays have become a really popular tool for styling a coffee table or even an entryway table!
This is a decor idea you can really have fun with, from choosing the decor items you want to include on your tray to styling your tray with a mini display.
Beaded garlands are such a chic and elegant decor accessory to use for your coffee table, plus are totally perfect for your home if you are going for a minimalistic interior.
4. Natural Vase With Seasonal Flower Arrangement
It’s a really great idea to have some seasonal decor on your coffee table which you can switch out with the seasons to keep your coffee table feeling fresh throughout the year, for example, cherry blossom flowers for spring and perhaps faux pampas branches for fall.
Natural vases are so IN right now and look as if they are a decor trend that is here to stay. They really are so pretty making them the perfect home for your coffee table flower arrangements.
The contrast between the flowers and the vase is such a masterful way of making your coffee table look a little more elevated and so much more aesthetically pleasing.
5. Separate Book Stacks
If you have a large coffee table, this is a really great way to help fill up the space while also creating multiple focal points for the table.
Feel free to mix, match and add to your book stacks with more books or decor pieces on top such as a candle or some beads.
The beauty of this look is the effortlessly beautiful and “natural” mess so you can really have fun creating & styling your book stacks for the table.
6. Incorporate Contrasting Coffee Table Accessories
Adding contrast is a classic decor trick to make a space feel more classy and high-end.
If you have a darker coffee table, you are going to want to make use of a lighter decor and vice versa if you have a lighter coffee table.
Adding a little candle with some matchsticks in a matchstick holder next to it is becoming an increasingly popular look for luxury interiors and is definitely worth incorporating into your coffee table decor
7. Oversized Lamp
This is a coffee table decor idea which is more suited for those with larger living rooms where the coffee table is not centred in the room.
If you have a larger living room, it can often be difficult to find items which make use or fit the larger space. This lamp does just that and actually almost dramatises the size of the room too.
Oversized lamps are always a pretty look so if you too like the look of one, then you can find a way to make them compliment your decor in just about any home.
8. Book Stand
LOVE this look!
if you have a favourite page of a coffee table book you want to display or just want to be able to display a page that fits the season, a book stand is such a pretty way to do this.
9. Take A Less Is More Approach
If you like minimalistic interiors or have a coffee table that is on the smaller side, then you may want to avoid cluttering it and style it with just a few pieces.
Minimalistic interiors are really popularly right now, particularly in luxury homes, and cluttering your coffee table with too many items is a quick way to make a space not achieve the minimalistic look you were going for.
When decorating in the minimalistic style, less really is more. Alternatively, if you don’t like a minimalistic interior design style and prefer maximalistic interiors, you can totally ignore this advice. 😌✨
10. Neutral Chain
You’ve probably seen these large neutral chains used for tabletop decor that are totally in right now.
These large chain pieces are a really elegant piece to incorporate into your decor which will also add a little edge to your living room too.
11. Moss Bowl
If you want to give your coffee table an earthier look, this is a really great addition to your coffee table decor!
This is a really unique and fun way to incorporate some greenery into your living room and will totally help give the space a more high-end feel.
