25 Fresh Ways to Style Your Coffee Table Like a Pro - Megafurniture

25 Fresh Ways to Style Your Coffee Table Like a Pro

When buying a coffee table, whether at an online furniture store or a brick-and-mortar furniture outlet, one thing to look for is its design possibilities. This significant piece of furniture in your living room or family room can help establish the theme you want to achieve while giving you ample space for your food and living room essentials. Because of its tabletop space, your coffee table is a good target for clutter. 

To prevent all the unnecessary knick-knacks from piling on your coffee table and to make a remarkable vignette in your living room, here are some simple ways you can style your coffee table.

A Variety of Coffee Table Decors

A Variety of Coffee Table Decors

It's easy to stack basically anything on your coffee table, from bigger decorations to small designs. But focusing on a single size that goes at eye level can make your coffee table design very unsettling. When placing decorations on your coffee table, make sure to mix and match various heights and sizes to create an eye-catching centrepiece.

The Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds

How can you easily establish balance with your coffee table design? The rule is easy. Try visually dividing your coffee table into three (like a grid) and placing an item per section. If designing on 1/3 side of the coffee table, stack three items to achieve your balance effortlessly.

Warm and Natural

Warm and Natural

Got a wooden coffee table? Complete your welcoming natural look by placing a rattan tray on your tabletop. Fill the tray with a small potted indoor plant, a scented candle, and porcelain items.

Black and White

Black and White

Decorate your marble, quartz, or sintered stone coffee table with black and white items to establish a subtle but appealing contrast between your hues. Since we are using minimalist colours, we recommend focusing on textures and intricate detailing to maintain the visual appeal of your modern furniture design.

Show-Off Your Collection

Show-off Your Collection

If you collect figurines or miniature stuff, your coffee table is a good spot to showcase some of them. Collections aren't just for levelling up your design but are also effective conversation starters.

Choose a Side to Decorate

Choose a Side to Decorate

If you entertain often, you don't want to spend all your tabletop space on decorations. Like the rule of thirds, visually partitioning your coffee table can help you create a balanced space for decor and snacks.

Go Irregular

Go Irregular

Want something contemporary? When shopping for a coffee table, choose one with an irregular shape or intricate leg design. If you have ample space, go for a double tabletop coffee table to provide you with more surface when hosting.

Save Some Space

Save Some Space

If you're low on square footage but want more space for family bonding and gatherings, opt for a nesting coffee table that you can convert into an extended piece when needed.

Think Outside of the Box

Think Outside of the Box

Beautifying a coffee table isn't limited to decorating its tabletop. To spice up a minimalist coffee table set up, choose an accent chair that can bring a striking contrast with your coffee table design without overwhelming the whole look. A velvet armchair is a great choice if you have a glass top or a brass-legged coffee table.

Baskets and Jars

Baskets and Jars

Make snacks accessible by placing them inside clear jars or decorative baskets. Arrange your containers on a tray and make them part of your whole coffee table decoration.

Go Green

In whatever part of your home, you can never go wrong with greens as part of your decor. From small potted plants to striking florals, there are various choices that can instantly freshen up your modern living room.

Decorate a Glass Coffee Table

Create a spacious living room with a glass coffee table filled with natural accents like a potted indoor plant and coastal accessories. Make it more entertaining with a small stack of books to add depth to your design.

A Storage Coffee Table

A Storage Coffee Table

Want a coffee table with storage? Having extra lower shelving for your items or additional drawers on the side doesn't automatically save you from clutter. In fact, having these may invite more unneeded items into your space. To prevent a chaotic coffee table set-up, carefully curate the essentials that go with your coffee table, like remote controls, coasters, or tablemats.

Go Homey with a Low Coffee Table

Go Homey with a Low Coffee Table

When designing a low coffee table, make sure to find a balance with your decor's height to avoid ending up with towering vases or ceramics that are too low to get noticed. If you want your bowl collections to be more recognisable, you can place them on top of a stack of books.

Use a Table Runner

Use a Table Runner

One compelling thing that can effectively complete your coffee table's design is the use of a table runner. Play with textures, patterns, and materials to add a variation to the design.

Keep Your Surroundings Interesting

Keep Your Surroundings Interesting

There's no need to trouble yourself with too many details when decorating a coffee table. If in doubt, look at the bigger picture, meaning the overall look of your living room. If your sofa is leaning close to a wall, invest in wall art pieces to build a picture-perfect living room.

Double the Surface

Double the Surface

A two-tiered coffee table doesn't only add to your living room's surface but also adds interest to your overall look. When shopping for a double coffee table, choose a unit with varying shapes or heights.

Perfect for Hosting

Follow a Palette
