Coffee tables are notoriously tricky. They’re the center of a room, but they also can seem like an afterthought, especially if they’re not in your line of sight. Hence the phrase “out of sight, out of mind.” My general recommendation is to add as many decorative elements as possible to your coffee table: books, flowers, candles, trays — anything that speaks to you and your taste! But since many people have already reviewed these basics and given you solid ideas on how best to decorate with them (and I recommend checking them out!), this time I’m going to focus on styling a specific kind of coffee table: the walnut coffee table.
Place a vase of flowers or a bowl of fruit on the table
We love the idea of adding flowers or fruit to your walnut coffee table. Glass vases are a great option because they can easily be moved around depending on where you want them to go. They’re also versatile enough that you can swap out different flowers or fruit depending on the season—or if you just feel like a change! For something even more colourful, opt for ceramic bowls instead. Ceramics look great with wood since they both have similar tones and textures but are still distinct from each other. Plus, ceramic bowls will add some whimsy and fun vibes to your living room that complement the rustic charm of the walnut coffee table perfectly!
Use a tray to organize small items and create a polished look
Your walnut table deserves to be as stylish as you are. That’s why we’ve rounded up five different ways you can style a walnut coffee table using trays. Whether you want a polished look, casual look, rustic look or modern look, these tips will help you achieve it! For example, if you have books lying around on the surface of your coffee table with no purpose (or worse yet—no dust jacket!) place them all inside of a large tray that sits on the top of your table. This creates an organized appearance and helps keep clutter from collecting on top of the surface where everyone sees it every day when they walk into your living room or kitchen area!
Hang a mirror or piece of art above the table
A mirror can be used to reflect light, decor and space. It is also a great way to create an illusion of space, especially if you don’t have a lot of wall space. Mirrors are great for focal points, adding interest and reflection to your room! You can even use mirrors for reflecting windows or other pieces of art in the room!
Choose Bling Elements
If you’re looking for a way to make your table stand out, consider adding small touches that will make it more interesting. A tray is a great way to add some organization and create an overall polished look. It can also be used as a decorative item by displaying small items such as photos, trinkets or even fresh flowers. Also, consider hanging mirrors above the table: they reflect light and make a room seem brighter. A piece of artwork also creates visual interest and helps tie the room together by using one colour or style throughout the space.
Keep coffee table styling simple
A coffee table is often one of the first pieces of furniture that people notice when they walk into a room. As such, it can play an important role in setting the tone of your space. When it comes to styling a coffee table, less is often more. A few well-chosen accessories can go a long way towards creating a chic and inviting look. For example, a stack of books can add height and visual interest, while a vase of flowers or a candle can inject a touch of color and warmth. Similarly, a tray can be used to corral smaller items and help to keep the surface of the table clean and uncluttered. With a little bit of thought and planning, it is easy to create a coffee table that is both stylish and functional.
Conclusion
The coffee table may seem like an insignificant piece of furniture, but it can actually be a great way to make your home stand out. By choosing the right pieces and arranging them in attractive ways, you will create an inviting atmosphere that you and your guests will enjoy.
