Any interior will liven up if you add plants to it. Choose small plants like aloe or succulents that will be comfortable away from a window. If you constantly go on business trips or travel, put an artificial plant on the coffee table and pick up a pretty planter – it isn’t easy to distinguish it from the real one, even by touch.

Choose a tall, narrow-mouthed vase with more minor items around it or a massive, wide vase. Fill it with flowers, dried flowers, or fruits, or leave it empty if it’s textured and exciting on its own.

On the one hand, books on the coffee table will be another reason to take your mind off the TV and read what you have long wanted to read. On the other hand, they can be an exciting accessory, ancient and shabby editions. You can use them to stand for other things that you want to decorate the table with.

A classic example of putting on a coffee table is a photo frame. But do not purchase several of the same at once. Try one of the combinations:

  • One material, different shape, and style;
  • One color, different materials, and style;
  • One style and different material and color.

5- Camera

After the transition to digital cameras, almost everyone at home has old cameras on film. It is a sympathy to throw them away. They keep memories but gather dust somewhere in the closet. Find a place for them on the coffee table to be pleasing to the eye and tell guests about your hobbies.

If you love sculptures, but the apartment is too small for large exhibits, arrange a mini-exhibition on a coffee table. Choose figurines to resonate with each other and with the chosen interior style.

When choosing candles for a coffee table, make sure that they are in a non-heating stand and wax does not drip onto the table’s surface. Subject to all safety rules, they will become a stylish decoration of the living room during the day, and in the evening, they will add comfort and romance.

If the coffee table is close to the outlet, put a lamp on it and make it the main character of the composition. It can be an old grandmother’s lamp, a treasure brought back from a holiday at a European flea market, or just a beautiful new lamp.

Sunglasses, wristwatches, any little thing that tells your story and creates a unique atmosphere in the living room is suitable for a coffee table. It is fascinating to lay out such compositions under the glass of a coffee table when there is a gap between it and the wooden surface.

It is not necessary to force the entire coffee table evenly. If you find something unique and beautiful and want to focus all your attention on this item, free the table and put this one. At the same time, it is unnecessary to put it in the center, and it may look deliberate. Try to move it to the edge.
