A coffee table is the perfect space to create a warm and welcoming feeling upon entering your living room and when guests come to visit. It creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere, and is pretty to look at too.
I love to make changes to my coffee table to align with the seasons, this way I have a clear vision on the look and feel I want to create. If you're not interested in changing your coffee table so often then that's fine simply do it when you have a new idea or get bored of the current style you have.
Styling your coffee table keeps your room feeling fresh and inviting.
HELPFUL TIPS
1.Base always start with your base for e.g styling boards, trays, fabrics and books are fab for this, then you can build from there.
2.Levels are key so think about using books, vases, coasters and bowls these are all perfect for creating elevation from the base. If your base is already a little elevated then think about using the table for lower pieces to keep the height contrast so everything isn't just on one level.
3.Colours if you're similar to me and like to match the season this makes this part fairly easy, if you are simply styling for all year round then think about the colour and style of your room and then play around with some ideas to see which feels most like you.
4.Accessories I love to use candles, diffusers, bud vases, seasonal decor like pumpkins, flowers and oil burners all work fabulously too.
TIP:
Don't crowd your space as your coffee table is used daily it still needs to be homely and practical. You simply want to make a lovely statement piece bringing your own personality and style to your living room.
Seasonal Styling
Summer is the perfect time to add some colour to your room if you enjoy playing around with colourful ideas this is a great time to have fun, a vase with artificial flowers to suit the size of your coffee table is a good place to start. I love love love white in the summer too as it feels light, bright and fresh.
Autumn my personal favourite, I love to use wooden styling boards & trays partnered with some gorgeous pumpkin accessories, books for elevation, candles for cosy feels and lots of browns, whites, blacks and orange, don't be afraid to add a little colour in this season too it looks gorgeous.
Winter for me I go straight into Christmas mode I love this time of year spending more time with loved ones and wanting to create a real warm and cosy feeling throughout my home. I enjoy using decorative pieces like our Sweet Decor Christmas House oil burner with my favourite wax melt scents. I use gonks, candles and fairies to create a real winter wonderland visual. I normally opt for reds, whites and greens this time of year to match my Christmas tree colours.
Spring is such a welcomed season after those colder winter months isn't it? Flowers start blooming again days get lighter and the bunnies come out in full force. I love to use mini bud vases as they look great and don't take up much space, along with some cute bunny figurine additions too. I love to add pops of colour anywhere I can especially pastels they are my favourite. You can do so much with spring just have fun with it.
