I have this love affair with coffee tables. Maybe it all started when I first saw MKR’s in her home; an oversized silver trunk with gorgeous coffee table books, candles, vintage calligraphy brushes and fresh flowers. Ever since then, my appreciation for a well-styled coffee table has only doubled. We’ve shared tips on how to style a coffee table here before, but we also believe it’s something that will never grow old…so here’s a short and sweet reminder with inspiration.
The pattern I find with the best coffee tables is that they all include a variety of depth, texture and height. Stacked coffee table books and flowers are easy ways to add the height, while trays and accents infuse different textures and interest to the styled vignette.
I’m including five key pieces to consider when styling a coffee table. What would you add to the list? Do you style and re-style your coffee table often, like I do?! Cheers, Kat
P.S. A few weeks ago we dissected the design for console tables, too. Check it out here. xo
What I am dying to know is if it possible to style a coffee table when you have young kids? And how? Breakables are a no go; vases. Plants are also a disaster waiting to happen. A candle might look nice, but you can only use it when the kids are asleep or gone. So that leaves books? If you have ideas that would be awesome!
