Nothing refreshes a space like a quick coffee table update. It’s easy and actually kind of fun. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll nail it like a pro. Divide and conquer… depending on the shape of your table, either divide it into quarters (a square table) or thirds (a rectangular table).
We like to start off with a beautiful tray to anchor the table. Next add large books – choose books that cater to your likes and reflect your style.Now it’s time for an interesting object – a crystal ball, a rock from summers past, or a cool box for keepsakes are a few suggestions.To finish it off, choose something that appeals to your senses or is interactive, a vase of fresh flowers, your favorite candle or a beautiful version of your favorite game.You may have to play around with it a bit to create the perfect combination. Oh, and don’t forget to select something with height – stack the books and place your vase or personal object on top if need be. Here are a few styling pictures for inspiration along with some great accessory ideas.
