Discover how to create a stylish and functional coffee table arrangement that reflects your personality and enhances your living space.
Freshen up your living space with a cool coffee table arrangement – here are some ideas to help you find your perfect balance. A coffee table is the heart of many a living space, providing a focal point for the room as well as a mix of the practical and decorative. While of course a coffee table is useful for resting drinks or other items that come and go, it’s also somewhere you can display a curation of books, accessories, candles – whatever most appeals to you.
However, it can be tricky to strike the balance between an aesthetically pleasing arrangement and the practicalities of function, adding interest without creating clutter. There are endless styles of coffee tables, from straightforward rectangular designs to irregular curves, ultra-low designs or those made from eye-catching materials such as marble. Others prefer to use a fabric ottoman or footstool that doubles as a place to rest items. No matter your preference, take note of how your particular table suits styling, as well as any functional priorities. If you’re constantly using it when friends are round for coffee, you’ll want to keep it mostly clear, although a tray that holds coasters will be a welcome addition. If it’s particularly low, adding a very tall candlestick or vase will disrupt its effect (and be liable to being knocked over).Whether it’s a stack of magazines and books or a single one perched on a small coffee table, you’ll often see books on chic coffee tables, and for good reason. Their low, flat design means they don’t take up too much space, while their designs and contents add personality. Choose titles that you and your guests might want to leaf through, and don’t worry about creating piles that are ultra-perfect – a casual pile is more inviting to pick one up to read from. Adding a tray or a shallow dish means you can collect smaller items inside it, keeping them neater as well as grouping them to make them feel more intentional, rather than simply scattered over the table. It’s a good place to keep any useful items such as coasters, or matches for lighting candles, and can be cleared to make way for drinks or snacks if needed. Whether it’s a favourite scented candle, a vintage bowl filled with stones and shells, or a few treasured knick knacks, these small details will add charm and character to your coffee table. You can swap pieces in and out of your coffee table arrangement to keep your space feeling fresh throughout the year and give a nod to the season. A bud vase with a sprig from your garden in the summer, or a bowl full of baubles are simple yet effective
