How to style your coffee table :: Porche & Co. tips & tricks

We have gotten amazing feedback with our “How To” series! Last week, we put a question box on our Instagram Stories, and you all requested a post on how to style a coffee table! Today, we are here to give all of our tips and tricks on coffee table styling!

 
 
 
 

Tip 1: Use Coffee Table Books

Books are great to stack on your coffee table as a simple way to add functional height and dimension. If you are needing additional height on top of the books, try a picture frame or decor piece (beads, links, a knot object etc) laid across the top book!

Tip 2: Decorative Objects

Decorative Objects will add future dimension & layers. Choose objects of varying heights to create depth and interest. Candles, smaller frames & beads will provide loads of added texture.

Tip 3: Faux Greenery

We love adding realistic faux stems to vases. These create such a nice warm focal point in the room. Greenery and florals always help create an inviting and welcoming feel in a space so we love to use them in main living areas! If you are going faux, be sure to get stems that are as realistic as possible. Some of the inexpensive ones can look very fake which will take away from the upscale styled look you are trying to achieve on your coffee table. Our favorite lifelike olive stems are linked below :)

Tip 4: Decorative Trays

Decorative trays can be used as a solid anchor to layer decor atop. Adding a tray can help frame your coffee table- if you have a round coffee table go with a round tray. With a square coffee table, go with a square tray. There are plenty textures and styles of trays to choose from depending on the style of your coffee table an surrounding space. We linked our favorites below!

Tip 5: Vases & Bowls

We love mixing in vases and bowls when styling coffee tables! These are such nice soft focal points that can easily add texture, color and dimension to your arrangement. Don’t be afraid to keep styling until it looks right. Try layering items and shifting around until it is aesthetically pleasing to your eye. Some of our favorite bowls and vases to layer in are below!
