Coffee Table Styling

My dear friend Katie shared this snapshot of her coffee table on Instagram the other day and I thought it was too gorgeous not to share with all of you. Clearly Katie has coffee table styling down to an art! For those of us not as well-versed, I've broken it down and shared a few ideas on how to get a similar look for your space...

Top stacks of design books with a decorative objet like this quartz votive holder or a souvenir from your travels. Store colorful matchboxes near your favorite candle and finally add fresh flowers or a topiary to bring it all to life. Soon enough you'll have Katie's high style in your home! What are your tips for styling a coffee table?

I feel like a great tip is not to let your boyfriend mess with the coffee table. I always have it just how I like it and he piles everything on top of each other to put his feet up or put his drink on the table.

Wow, there is quite a lot of elements on this table. Usually I go for a more minimal look. But I like what I'm seeing, sometimes more is better.

I love all the layering on top of the books and the matchbooks so smart, use to collect them and what do you do with them...obviously I should have put them in a pretty bowl!!

I was just stalking her Instagram the other day for coffee table styling, because she does the best job! I think layering smaller objects and flowers over books is the way to go - so much to look at!

What a gorgeous table! I love everything about it! And I've definitely had my eye on those matches!

Jessica said...

Gorgeous! And I need that boxwood topiary!...

The Everything List said...

My table is a glass hand me down with iron legs. In keeping with a rustic theme I topped with a vintage looking wood serving platter and on top of that I have a French musee d'orsay guidebook from my travels and a welsh wedding spoon my grandmother brought back from wales. I switch out dried and fresh flowers and potpourri.
