Styling Secrets Part 2: Coffee Table Essentials

Building on our series from earlier in the week on STYLING, we now move onto the next most important table in the room....

The Coffee Table

We've partnered with Chairish to feature a favorite table of theirs while outlining some of our essential items to be built on this gorgeous table.

Items selected above from Houzz Shop HERE

Read on to hear tips on styling a coffee table from around the web as well as TCI's favorite secrets.

1. A Natural Essential:
Something natural can quickly bring energy to a room, just by a simplistic bloom of flowers or touch of greenery

2. A Statement Essential:
This is a way to show your personality. By adding large or small (varying heights) bold pieces you can add interest to the table immediately 

3. A Book Essential:
You've all heard the "coffee table book" phrase and seen that done over and over. But it REALLY is important to bring in color and texture to a table. You can use to to layer, add height to a short piece or interest your guests

4. The Container Essential:
Having something that you can build inside is important to your coffee table ensemble. Whether it's a tray, small box or chest, this piece can be used to display many treasures.

Creative Consoles

Stuck on designing an empty foyer... or a lonely hallway?

And...You have this skinny table, somewhere pretty prominent in your home...
what do you do with it?!


Here are some tips for using and accessorizing your 
console tables throughout your home!

If your console doesn't have any storage beneath, use it for extra seats!!
This would be great for areas you don't have a lot of seating,
but don't necessarily need it all the time.

A simple vase and bowl can jazz up a simple console. No need to clutter.

Mirrors over consoles are always nice, and usually a good way to make the room feel larger.
Flanking both sides of the console with a decorative table lamp can ease the symmetrical feel.

For a more casual look, be asymmetrical with the placement of vases and only use one lamp.


Very minimalistic look here, a similar glass table can be found at High Fashion Home

Layer a few pieces art and tilt them up against the wall for a more casual look
 instead of attaching them to the wall.

Pottery Barn

Over sized piece of art?? Try it, you might like it;)

Make use of the bottom shelf of consoles by stacking books and accessories

Have you ever considered purchasing a cocktail
ottoman instead of a coffee table?

If not, here are 4 reasons why you should!

#1 PROP... your feet! The most obvious function of using an
ottoman is to prop up those feet! Comfort is the key and why don't look you good doing it?
No wood to scratch and here's the chance to add another gorgeous fabric to your room.


#2 STORE...your stuff! Who doesn't crave more storage?
Lift the lid and keep throw blankets, kid's toys, magazines, games and extra pillows hidden away. Also a good choice with babies learning to walk... bump resistant!


#3 SIT... your buns! Extra seating is a bonus when having a crowd over. Pull the ottoman to the side and your guests will have a comfortable seat to watch the flick.


#4 REST... your glass! Using trays on ottomans is really no big deal! They give you one more place to use a great accessory and it is perfect for holding your drinks and snacks.

For style and function in your most used room, give me a call!

*CSN Stores contacted me to host a giveaway. I did not receive any payment, compensation, or products for my participation, and my opinions are my own.

Good luck!
