Stylish Coffee Table Decor Ideas
Coffee tables are a canvas for decoration. By adorning your coffee table with decorative objects and personal items, like family photos, you'll uplift your lounge interior and strike a visual balance that anchors all your surrounding furniture.
Whether you're going for a clean, minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic or an eclectic, retro look, there are endless ways to spruce up a coffee table. If you're after some interior decor inspo, check out our top coffee table styling ideas:
Flower Vase or Plant Pot
Inviting nature into your home is a wonderful way to organically uplift the atmosphere of your interior.
Refresh your coffee table with a touch of nature, such as a bouquet of your favorite flowers in a beautiful statement vase or petite plants in a tabletop planter, such as succulents or cacti.These natural elements will infuse your home with botanical beauty, making your space feel balanced, relaxing, and more inviting.
Oversized Candle
Oversized candles are a simple yet effective coffee table decor piece that effortlessly fits any interior aesthetic, be it modern and minimal or rustic and bohemian.
By centering an eye-catching candle on your coffee table, you'll instantly make your lounge feel more cozy, warm, and welcoming. They are the perfect accent for setting the vibe for movie nights or lazy days spent snuggling up with a hot drink and book.
If you want a more eclectic, dynamic look, you could alternatively present lots of candle sticks in candle holders at different heights.
Tabletop Ornaments
Transform your coffee table into a mini art installation by displaying decorative ornaments, such as ceramic, wooden, or metal sculptures.
Whether you're after a subtle accent or an eye-catching statement, there are so many types of ornament out there to choose from.
For example, the adorable Rina Rhinoceros Set by Woud offers a delicate, playful touch that will brighten up your coffee table with joy and charm. Whereas the David Umemoto Sculpture by Ethnicraft takes centerstage, making an impactful focal-point that can be admired for hours on end.
Framed Photos
Framed photos are delightful coffee table accents, especially if you're sprucing up your home's family room. Showcase cherished memories of your family and friends to make your space feel extra personal, warm, and comforting.
There are lots of stylish ways to display framed photos on coffee tables. For example, you can add an assortment of different-sized photo frames for a more eclectic and diverse look. Or, if you want to keep things understated and minimal, go for a large, standalone frame.
You can even play around with different arrangements of your photo frames, too. So, if you want to draw all the attention to your favorite pictures, place your frame in the center of your table. Or, if you'd rather complement your coffee table in a more subtle way, place your frames in one corner of your coffee table.
Decorative Trays
Coffee table trays are an exceptionally elegant coffee table accent. These sophisticated decorative items serve as a tasteful vessel for all your lounging essentials, such as remote controls, books, and beverage coasters.
They are also perfect platforms for showcasing decorative elements, like framed photos, ornaments, candles, a potpourri bowl, and more. If you want a coffee table tray that can house all your essentials and your favorite decor accents together, go for a large tray - that way, you get the best of both worlds.
We also recommend choosing a decorative tray that coordinates with the shape of your coffee table, such as a circular tray for a round coffee table, to ensure your space feels balanced.
The Alto Tray by Fermob is a beautiful example of how versatile table trays can be! Crafted with durable, sleek steel composure, this modern bistro tray is perfect for serving hot drinks and snacks, showcasing decor, and storing lounge room essentials, making it both a practical and tasteful choice.
Stacked Books or Magazines
Stacking coffee table books and magazines to your coffee table isn't just a fabulous way to fill empty space, but also a great way of making your home more engaging. They serve as effective conversation starters at get-togethers, while also being a great source of inspiration while you unwind on your sofa.
Curate a selection of your favorite reads, such as architectural magazines, TV/movie guides, art books, and photo albums. This will reflect your unique interests and make your lounge more interesting.
Table Cloth
Coffee tablecloths are both practical and decorative solutions. They add extra texture to your lounge space while softening your interior, making it look more cozy and relaxing. They also protect your coffee table from spills and scratches.
We recommend choosing a table cloth that coordinates with other accents in your home. For example, you can choose a cloth that matches the color of your sofa's decorative pillows, your lounge rug, and/or your curtains. This will tie your your home's color scheme together, ensuring a harmonious composure.
Table Lamp
A coffee table lamp is the perfect decorative item for enhancing the ambiance and warmth of a space. They are also practical solutions if your home lacks natural light.
By adding a decorative lamp to your coffee table, you'll transform your habitat into a relaxing nook with an inviting atmosphere where you can cozy up and unwind.
There are so many lamp styles to choose from, each offering its own aesthetic qualities.
For example, the Illusion Table Lamp by Cane-Line features an artisanal woven lampshade and a rustic teak wood base, making it a beautiful match for any earthy boho or farmhouse interiors.
On the other hand, the sculptural Theia Table Lamp by Marset is glowing with a retro-modern appeal, making it ideal for anyone after a sophisticated piece that pays homage to mid-century design.
