Brighten Up Modern Coffee Table Sets
The Art of Decorating Modern Coffee Table Sets
Styling modern coffee table sets is an art in itself. Since coffee tables are usually placed prominently in the living room, it’s essential that they look good yet still serve their function.
5 COFFEE TABLE DESIGNING TRICKS FROM FURNITURE STORES SAN DIEGO
Whether you favor a minimalist aesthetic or love organized chaos, keep these principles in mind to turn your coffee table from an afterthought to your biggest style statement!
Play around with heights
Make your coffee vignette pop by creating different heights. This can be done by grouping elegant candles of various sizes. You may also add some books, plants, or a tall glass cloche. Start by creating a pile, then display items behind each other for visual depth.
Pick one statement piece
If you prefer something more simple, a single eye-catching item will do the job. A larger terrarium, perhaps, or an interesting piece of sculptural art is an excellent way to spruce up your coffee table. Just make sure that everything stays proportional.
Explore visual links
What are the primary colors of your living room? Use these colors as elements in your coffee table. Try to pin down at least three visual links. If your contemporary sofa set is primarily blue, for instance, having a splash of blue in your books, cushions, and flowers will contribute to a cohesive look.
Use a tray
Another no-fuss way to level up your coffee table is by using a beautiful tray. Not only is it a practical method to quickly move things around, but it’s also always on trend. Again, be careful not to fill it up with too much clutter. Strive for balance between the size of the tray and the objects inside.
Play it safe books and flowers
If you’d rather go for a classic look, books and flowers are always a pleasing combination. Stack three books on top of each other, and top off with a dainty object like a shell or bowl. Complement it with a pretty vase of fresh blooms.
REMEMBER THE RULE OF THREES
Many interior stylists use a maximum of three elements for a whole vignette. This will allow all the components to pop without overwhelming the whole table. So no matter which direction you decide to go when decorating your coffee table, think hard about which elements will make the most impact and choose which three will make the right match.
What about your coffee table?
When you take away all the décor, what does your coffee table look like? A modern, well-crafted coffee table is an asset to the living room. No matter how much you design this space, a worn-out, old coffee table can drag the ambiance down.
