Our foolproof guide to styling your coffee table

Your coffee table is often the centre piece of your lounge. And besides being a rest for your feet, or that place for your morning coffee, it’s also an opportunity to style.

You’re better than the odd book and scented candle, so here’s some simple yet effective styling ideas for your coffee table. Style it with flair, and make sure it's always interesting.

Stack it

Coffee table books and style magazines are perfect for any coffee table. But stack them up and place decorative objects like bowls or a vase of flowers. Small, individual stacks will ease it from looking too cluttered and more organised.

Use a Tray

Coffee tables can feel huge and expansive, and cluttered if not styled correctly. Use a tray to keep things organised and helps break up the surface.

Keep it simple

Why not keep it simple with a single statement piece. Display in the centre to create a real focal point in your space.

Make it seasonal

Just like the rest of your lounge, switch up your coffee table as often as your cushions and throws. Simple arrangements of seasonal flowers, along with a beautifully scented candle and your favourite coffee table books are all your coffee table needs.
