Styling a functional and elevated coffee table is all about balance! Too much decoration and it looks cluttered and messy, and too little will have it looking bare and empty. Styling your coffee table is the perfect way to showcase your personality! There are so many different ways to style your coffee table – including trays, bowls, candles, greenery, books, decorative objects, and SO much more.


coffee table books

An easy way to spruce up a coffee table is using some books. You can opt for decorative ones, or display a few of your favorite reads to share with guests! Books help ground your decor items and create some dimension – perfect for styling flat services! They divide the look into sections and you can bring dimension by stacking items on top.

PRO TIP: a lot of the books I have on display in my home, I actually found in local bookstores!


decorative trays

Using decorative trays is a great way to keep your decor organized. I love it because they are so easy to style and you can keep various objects in them to change throughout the seasons! They are versatile, allowing you to freshen up your space simply by swapping out a few objects. For more on decorative trays, click HERE.


vases

Add a vase to your coffee table styling – you can fill it with your favorite faux florals and greenery. The best part? They can be swapped out year-round to fit different seasons! I love how versatile and timeless these particular vases are- they will never go out of style! They add a unique element and texture to the room, tying everything together nicely. Don’t be afraid to use contrasting colors when styling a space either! If you love neutrals as much as I do, pairing darker and lighter pieces is another way to add dimension to a space.

Who doesn’t love the ambiance and aroma that a candle adds to a room? Pick your favorite scent, light it, and enjoy the atmosphere the candle creates! Is it only me or does the house only feel officially clean once the candle has been lit?


accent decor

Using pieces like accent bowls is a fun way to add a finishing touch to your table. You can fill it with something decorative or yummy little candies, or leave it empty for a sleek look! I also love these hurricane candle holders – they help add a natural element to the room. They are also a versatile decor item, you can use them as candle holders or vases!

I am hoping this serves as some inspiration that you may not have known you needed! You would be surprised by how much the little details can really transform a space.
