The coffee table edit

The coffee table – it’s the central hub of our lounging, snacking, and Netflix-binging habits, and yet, it’s often the most neglected when it comes to styling. But no more! We’ve created the ultimate guide to coffee table styling, meaning your living room will never be the same. From the rule of three to making a vignette that’s both stylish and functional, we’re sharing our top tips and tricks to help you take your coffee table game to the next level. The best part? You can create a Pinterest-worthy coffee table with pieces found under just one roof – Nunawading Homemaker HQ, of course!

 

Find your table

Before moving into the nitty-gritty of styling, be sure to begin with the foundation – the table itself. Whether you’re after a sleek glass surface or a rustic wooden slab, your coffee table is the canvas for your styling, so be sure to consider shape, size, and style. Round coffee tables are great for smaller spaces whereas rectangular shapes are best for larger spaces. When deciding on size, it’s recommended that your coffee table should be two-thirds the length of the adjacent sofa. Read our guide on choosing the right sofa.

 

Rule of threes and placement

Now that you have your table sorted, let’s move on to the golden rule of styling; the rule of threes. This is a design concept that’s all about grouping objects in odd numbers to appear more visually appealing. When grouping three items together we recommend arranging your object to form a triangle, with the tallest item at the apex. This kind of formation will create an equilibrium and make the coffee table super balanced.

Book stacks are a must

Books are one of the best coffee table accessories – they add height, texture, and a dash of entertainment. But don’t just throw any old book on the table. Consider colour coordination, size variation, and title selection. You’ll want the books selected to reflect your interior style as well as personality, so opt for ones that appeal to your interests whether that be fashion, cooking, or lifestyle.

 

Think about height

Take your styling to new heights (literally) by adding various heights to your table arrangement. You can do this by stacking objects like books and boxes, incorporating pedestals and risers to elevate smaller items, and adding greenery like flowers in large vases.

With these coffee table styling tips and tricks, you’re ready to transform your coffee table into the centrepiece of your living room. So go ahead, get creative and make your space a true showstopper.
