Coffee table decoration
Before starting to talk about objects, it is important to understand what type of table you have chosen to furnish your living room. Is it a mirrored table, made of wood, glass or other material?

The point here is to start thinking about which items match the style of the table and the decor of your room. With a mirrored table, for example, we must be careful not to place excessive decorative objects, as the visual effect can be exaggerated. On mirrored tables, therefore, the ideal is to choose neutral and more sober tones.

Organization – The great secret of coffee table decoration
The big secret to how to decorate a coffee table is organization. Try to follow a symmetrical organization and create a harmonious and balanced composition.
The objects can be of different sizes, candles, sculptures, books, vases, cachepots and trays are the most chosen and, despite having different sizes, they can be used together. Choose a few, but follow a pattern, making a big “shuffle” of objects may not be a good idea.
Tip 1: The empty spaces will give lightness to the decoration of the coffee table, and it is also always a good idea to leave a space to place trays and glasses when receiving visitors.

Tip 2: To make organization easier, draw an imaginary line on the table dividing it into symmetrical parts. Fill these spaces with some objects, but leave the empty spaces in more or less the same positions.

Tip 3: Will you use taller items? Leave them at the ends of the table, but be careful not to obstruct the view of those sitting on the armchair or sofa.
