1. Decorative tray: Use a decorative tray to corral and display a collection of items, such as candles, books, or small sculptures. Sometimes a more practical approach to styling can be more appealing, like a room spray, lip balm or your favourite moisturizer or simply a box of tissues for those romantic rom-coms you can’t get enough of.

2. Stack of books: Stack a few coffee table books of different sizes and colours to create a visually interesting display. Try colour coordinating with other pops of colour around the room to help bring it all together.

3. Flowers or plants: Add some life and colour to your coffee table with a vase of flowers or a small potted plant. For those who don’t have a green thumb, there is nothing wrong with an artificial plant to create the same vibe!

4. Sculptural objects: Display a sculptural object or art piece to add interest and texture to your coffee table. You can play around with different textures and materials to compliment other décor or artwork that is already established in your home.

5. Coasters: Coasters don’t have to be boring or something to keep hidden when not in use. Use stylish coasters to not only protect your table but add a decorative touch.

6. Candles: Light some candles to create a cosy and intimate atmosphere. With so many choices nowadays, you can find sculptural candle pieces to really wow your guests.

7. Decorative bowls or boxes: Use decorative bowls or boxes to store small items like remotes, coasters or even your favourite hand cream.

8. Mirrors: Place a mirror on your coffee table to reflect light and create the illusion of more space.

9. Seasonal decor: Change up your coffee table decor with seasonal items like holiday decorations or seasonal flowers.

10. Personal items: Last but certainly not least, make sure to display personal items like family photos, travel souvenirs, or mementos that reflect your personality and interests.

Now not all coffee tables are square or rectangular, when tackling a round coffee table similar principles apply, but the aim to create a symmetrical look. A go-to example of this would be to place a large vase or sculpture piece in the centre of the table and surround it with smaller items like candles, coasters, and books.

In conclusion, there are many ways to style your coffee table. Whether you’re looking for a simple and elegant look, or something bolder and eclectic, the possibilities are endless. Now you’re fully equipped and ready to start styling – the hardest part can be narrowing down what pieces you’d love to show off. Try to keep to clusters of 3 or 5, and always feel like you can change things up whenever the mood strikes!
