Adding Personal Touches: Coffee Table Decorating Decoded


Your coffee table is often the center of your living room, and its decorations can often give your room new life. Toss the old stack of magazines, add some new elements and try these simple steps to give your coffee table new life and showcase your personality.



First give your coffee table dimension by adding something tall. Use a tall vase or candle to give add height and draw attention to the table.

Next, choose something unique that represents you to add to your table. If you have a collection of things, choose your favorite item. This item gives the room a splash of your individual taste. An intricately carved porcelain elephant or even a dish of seashells you've collected on beach trips can spruce up your coffee table.

Always have a fresh element laid out. An orchid or small potted plant can add life to your room. Fresh cut flowers are a great way to add color to your coffee table and they give you a chance to switch it up; from daisies to irises you can choose new colors and shapes week to week.

Lastly and most commonly used, coffee table books are essential. Stack books that represent your hobbies and interests. Try books with lots of photos and facts, you can find coffee table books at your local bookstore.

Follow these steps and remember to add your own personal touches and you will have a fancy and fun coffee table in no time!
