Coffee tables…they’re for more than your feet! Accessorizing this staple piece is a quick and easy way to spruce up the design of your space. You’re probably wondering, “How can I accessorize a coffee table?” Well, your options are hardly limited to coffee mugs! You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to give your coffee table the little extra touch it needs. Accessorize your coffee table with these simple tips:
The Perfect Accessories
Deciding what to use to accessorize your coffee table can be a bit challenging, but only because there are so many options from which to choose! Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with reading material, such as books and magazines. Vases with flowers or any kind of small plant are also great coffee table accessories. Both of these are basic and simple items to go with, but there are ways to step outside of the box.
Small, old-fashioned birdcages are becoming increasing popular as table accessories. What you put in it is up to you! You could put a candle inside or leave it empty. Small, decorative boxes to store things such as TV remotes are also fabulous accessories.
Levels
Once you’ve chosen your accessories, the next step is to arrange them in an appealing and unique way. Create different levels with your accessories by layering some things on top of your reading material or purchasing some short vases and some tall vases. You want variation in size to avoid a uniform look. Size differences catch the eye more than items that all are all the same size.
Avoid Clutter
Now, finding lots of accessories is easy, but the trick is not to over clutter your coffee table. You still want to have space available for items like glasses or plates. Too much on the coffee table is not easy on the eyes, and it makes the room look too busy. Stick to three to five pieces for your coffee table, but try sticking between three and five. The amount of accessories depends on the size of the table. A smaller table requires fewer accessories while a larger table would require more.
Add a little décor to your coffee table to bring a sophisticated and chic design element to your living space!
