It can be frustrating when it comes to thinking about how to style your coffee table, something that starts as a simple task can turn in to a bit of momentous task quite quickly. Having lots of options can be a bit overwhelming at the start but don’t let those possibilities frighten the inner decorator in you.

Here are some ideas to ease the process:

Go see through
Show off all your lovely accessories with a glass top coffee table. A sleek clean design won’t overpower anything and it will let your object do the talking for you so.

You don’t always need a bookshelf
Why not use your coffee table instead, style it up with your favourite books or even all of them? This will give the impression it is a functional piece of furniture.

Give your flowers the limelight
Take a more minimalistic approach, get rid of all the clutter and simply let your flowers shine. If you don’t have access to any fresh flowers then for time being just using an empty vase will suffice.

Keep things together in a tray
If your looking to use your coffee table for more than just for decoration, maybe for dining purposes as well then using a tray on top to hold a smaller object that otherwise may clutter the table is a great idea.

Maybe it's more than just a coffee table
No one ever said that your coffee table had to be a ‘coffee table’. Think outside the box, why not use other objects like an upholstered bench or an old-timey trunk to give an accent to your living space.

Go for more
Why limit yourself to just one coffee table, sometimes more is better. Create a less basic aesthetic by adding multiple tables to your room.

Or just simplify?
You don’t have to go out and put everything on the table to have a chic coffee table, sometimes clean and simple is better for a living area with a bit of zen.
