Whatever you’re accessorising, whether it be clothing or furniture items, your choice of accessories depends on the style of your items. If your coffee table is made of expensive wood with a high polish, then it should be paired with high quality accessories, such as a crystal dish centrepiece that can also be used to hold confectionary. If your coffee table is a contemporary and stylish design, like this simple and elegant design from the Contemporary designs range, then the accessories that you pair with the table should reflect the same simple design features.
The main function of your coffee table, regardless of its design or cost, is a surface to place refreshments and snacks when entertaining guests. Therefore there should always be room on your coffee table to fit a tray with a tea or coffee service and appetisers. Using it to display a host of artworks or other souvenir looking artefacts is not a practical use of your coffee table.
A Centre bouquet of flowers gives a room a pleasant scent and adds a finished touch to your coffee table, especially when not in use. If your coffee table has a glass top, take care not to use accessories with sharp edges that may damage the glass. A glass bowl left empty or filled with potpourri is a simple but stunning finish to a glass top table.
Put simply, coffee table accessories should be confined to the centre of the table. They should accent the design of your coffee table in the same way that shoes or a purse accent an outfit. Large floral arrangements should only be used on large, extended coffee tables. Steer clear of large vases and stick to smaller ornate bowls, which make great coffee table accessories. You can use your own sense of taste when choosing items to display on your coffee table. The key tip to keep in mind is not to detract from the design and functionality of the coffee table.
