Get Creative With Your Coffee Table

Posted on - 23rd April 2021

With the right attention, coffee tables have the potential to be a great focal point in your living room. However, if not used correctly, they can easily fade into the background or become a tired dumping ground. In order to help you make the most of your coffee table, we’ve put together the following guide.

Bring in the Books

Whether you’ve been to the hair salon or a fancy office, you’re sure to have seen a coffee table filled with some carefully selected magazines and books. However, these haven’t just been placed there for you to read. Whilst the content is a bonus, these books and magazines are often placed there to add to the aesthetic of the room. For example, if you’re in a boutique, it’s likely that you’ll find a copy of Vogue or Marie Claire. Alternatively, in a barbers you can often find Top Gear magazine and the latest FourFourTwo.

This can be applied to your home too. Think of the aesthetic that you’re trying to achieve in the room and select a few publications and books that you feel can get that across. You may even have some decorative books that you feel are wasted being hidden away in a bookshelf. If that’s the case, get them out and place them on your coffee table.

Pick out a Plant

In other articles, we’ve highlighted the many benefits of bringing the outdoors inside. This can be anything from reducing feelings of stress and anxiety to just naturally brightening a room. A coffee table is a great location to house a plant, or flowers depending on your preference.

By introducing it to the coffee table, it draws attention to a focal point in the room and if the plant is spectacular, it can act as a wow factor. Adding a centrepiece to your coffee table can be a great way to bring your room to life. If you would rather not get a plant, there are plenty of other options for a feature piece too. For example, our Danube Coffee Table is perfect for housing a nice chess set on the bottom shelf.

Traditional or Contemporary?

When selecting a coffee table, you should consider whether you’re looking for a more contemporary design or a traditional and timeless look. For those looking for the latter, our Bardon Coffee Table and Hatton Small Coffee Table could be perfect additions. Alternatively, for a more contemporary feel, our Vanya Coffee Table or Stella Compact Coffee Table offer sleek, unique designs.

Packed full of plenty of options, our range of coffee tables provide ample storage and variation in designs to cater for any room’s size, style and storage requirements.
