Is your coffee or console table a mess of magazines and clutter? Here are 3 easy tips to help you create the most gorgeous tabletop settings!
When flipping through the latest home décor magazines you’ll notice the coffee and console tables are perfectly styled with beautiful accessories and creative techniques.
Now take a look at yours. How does it compare?
If your coffee or console table is a mish-mash of magazines, remotes and random knick-knacks, you’re not alone.
Today we’ll go through how to style your tabletops like a pro!
Styling Tip #1: Make Use Of ‘Over And Under’ Space
The trick to mastering a gorgeous tabletop setting is to make use of the space you have, including underneath your table.
The NEW Munich Console in Grey is the perfect accent piece to work with.
The Munich Console is a simple backdrop for various tabletop styling trends.
For a traditional look, we suggest using it as a miniature bookshelf.
You can either stack your books in small clusters or line them up horizontally with a set of beautiful bookends to keep them upright.
Although books seem like an average thing to display, arranging them on a console table instead of an actual bookshelf adds interest to your space.
If you like a more modern look, line the bottom shelf with two beautiful bins in wicker, wood, chrome or patterned material.
Not only do they help with storage and clutter, they make a streamlined statement that keeps your space looking tidy and fresh.
Styling Tip #2: Use A Unique Formula
We have an easy formula when styling a tabletop: Books + natural materials + candles + one unique object = display perfection.
Our NEW Trenton Coffee Table in Distressed Pine is an ideal piece to practice our unique formula!
Bottom shelves create ample space for books and extra storage.
With its stylish and industrial studded detail and gorgeous pine bottom shelf, it provides ample space to mix and match your favorite accessories.
For the top of the table we suggest using a tray to contain the elements of our formula. This gives smaller items more importance and brings a sense of unity between them.
Cluster your natural materials, candles and unique objects in the tray and place the stack of books on the bottom shelf.
Remember to never overcrowd the top of your coffee table, as you need room for coffee cups and putting your feet up after a long day!
Styling Tip #3: Let Bold Accent Pieces Speak For Themselves
Sometimes it’s not about overcrowding your tabletop with accessories, but letting your special piece speak for itself, especially when the piece is bold.
Our NEW Bliss Console Table in Antique Silver does just that!
Let bold accents speak for themselves.
With its chrome and tempered glass detail, the dramatic effect of its geometric cutout pattern speaks volumes in any space.
This is one instance when our unique formula should be minimized.
Instead of four elements, cut the number in half. Two special accessories like a shiny chrome vase and a vibrant green plant would look perfect atop this busy piece.
Think of it this way: The bolder the accent piece, the lesser the accessories.
