Coffee tables have a prominent place and function in a living room. You need a place to put your drinks, after all. But the table is also an opportunity to create a vignette in your living room. Since eyes will be on it, keep it looking neat. Take a look at more tips to help you achieve easy coffee table displays.
Use A Tray
A tray is a simple trick that stylists and decorators use to make items work together in a display. The right tray can corral items on a table into one elegant and unified presentation. On this table, the tray and vignette are black and white, keeping the look minimalist.

Candles and Holders
Every selfcare solace-seeker knows the power of a good candle, and your coffee table should be no exception. Try mixing the heights and sizes of your candles to create an intentional focal point. Or, choose a statement candle holder, with a candle that colour contrasts to your walls. Just make sure you put it on a tray to save your coffee table from wax drips.

Stack It Up
Stack books and place decorative objects, like bowls or a vase of flowers, on top of each. Individual stacks will help make it feel more compact and less cluttered. Many decorators sometimes place flowers of the current seasons on top of a short pile of books to elevate its beauty. Blossoms allow you to experiment with color combinations throughout the seasons.
