Colours, Textures, Plants & More: Here Are 11 Pinterest-Worthy Ways To Style Your Coffee Table

When you have a large coffee table, you need to know where to begin. Start from small knick-knacks and form a grid and position objects within the squares. This will also help you in compartmentalising your style and not make the surface look cluttered.

LBB recommends: Tip Top Market, The Wishing Chair and Navya.

Your coffee table is the focal point of your living room, and it is a great place to experiment with seasonal decorative items. For example, add orchids during spring time, seashells and a stack of books for the summer and an orange mat in autumn.

If all of your decor accessories on the coffee table are on an even level it does not get noticed. To make it eye-catchy, create degrees in heights that will also help you make vignettes.

LBB recommends: Lohasmith, Rain & Peacock and Good Earth.

Well, the age-old rule of threes comes in handy when decorating your coffee table, which is round or oval in shape. It not only fills up the surface in an aligned manner, but also makes the entire space appealing.

LBB recommends: Dilli Haat, Matka Market and Dastkari Studio.

Play with colours on your coffee table. You could even paint it if you favour bold colours, mostly because it is also the focal point of your living room. For dark woods, use metallic items for decor accessories.

If these options sound loud for you, go for table trays in bright or bold colours or pick some bright-hued items.

LBB recommends: Chumbak, India Circus and Tungs10.

Sometimes, you could also play the trick of accessorising one side of the table and leaving the other half empty, or maybe just place a large vase on it. This would help you to keep the area clutter-free and keep space for friends and family to play games on it.

Sometimes a simple houseplant could do the trick. Place a houseplant over a stack of books in the centre, and you are good to go!

LBB recommends: MyBageecha, NurseryLive  and Project Plant.

For both practical as well as styling purposes, showcasing a tray over a coffee table with tabletop items on it can give structure and symmetry to a coffee table.

LBB recommends: Crazy Daisy, The Whistling Nest and Jaypore.

You could also place a game board on the centre of your coffee table to help your guests break the ice, and make it an entertaining space of the house every time someone visits your place. Place a vintage board game, or even a couple of old wine bottles with a fine wine glass or two to add some sophistication to space.

If the idea of decorating your coffee table with knick-knacks looks like a task for you, try placing one large item over it to give a minimalist approach.

Your coffee table is, after all, a unit in your personal space – so why not showcase an old watch that has been passed on from generations in your family, or an exotic decor piece you got from a memorable vacation.
