STYLE A
COFFEE TABLE
There is a certain art that comes with styling a coffee
table. Here are a few simple steps to help you design
a well-decorated table. - Text Jack Lochhead
Create a colour palette for your
coffee table. Just as you choose a
colour scheme for a room, carefully
select neutral pieces and pair them
with a pop or two of colour.
Stack books on a coffee table. Books
are great to use as a pedestal to add
visual height to your arrangement.
Consider recovering books to match
your colour scheme.
Don’t be afraid to add conversation pieces!
Adorn your coffee table with keepsakes and
interesting pieces brought back from your
travels. When guests ask “Where did you get
that?”, you will have a story to share with them.

Group items together
on a large coffee table
using a tray. Whether it
is holding a cocktail or
offering a resting ground
for smaller items, a tray
is a great way to break
up a large surface.
