Coffee Table Essentials

A coffee table is one of those essential items that gets incorporated into every living room we design. The coffee table serves many functions in the home and is often the landing spot for feet, drinks, remotes and books. It is also often host of the occasional card game or casual work from home station. The coffee table is a great place to add interest to a room by layering in some of your favorite accessories. With this in mind, we love to style our coffee tables with functional decor that can serve a purpose, such as decorative bowls or boxes to store the remote, etc. Coffee tables are the perfect place to switch up your decor and give it a fresh, new look! Changes in the season make it the ideal time to switch up your accessories because with the change of weather comes a change of mood. During the winter season we love to bring in warmth and texture. A candle paired with some coffee table books along with bowls or vases are the perfect combination. It’s important to play with scale by incorporating accessories of different heights. We love to achieve this through the use of tall vases and floral arrangements.

Below are some of our favorite coffee table looks and links to shop some our favorite coffee table accessories… just in case you have the urge to redecorate like we do!

 

OUR INSPIRATION

We strive to create spaces that make you feel a certain way and bring back a special feeling or memory. A place where comfort and timelessness meet and create a sense of nostalgia. Incorporating earthy materials and textures through greenery, vintage pottery and tall candles or decor helps to create this calming aura. Stacking your favorite coffee table books is another great way to add dimension when styling. We love collecting coffee table books because they never go out of style and you can easily swap them out seasonally if you want some change. CB2, Burke Decor and West Elm are a few of our go-to places for coffee table decor, but sometimes you have to look no further than your local vintage shop or thrift store to find a nice vintage vase or candle holder.
