Coffee Table Dilemma

I think coffee tables are much more difficult to style than bookshelves.     

There's usually a lot going on in a bookshelf; and if a few of the items are not the greatest, the collection will carry those mediocre pieces.

 Not so with the coffee table - more like putting an item on a pedestal.

It really becomes a focal piece.

When I'm styling a home, I always select a couple of the most interesting accessories for the coffee table.

Then, I fill in with some interesting, beautiful books.

Something fresh also is a nice touch.

Remember, accessories on a coffee table need to look great from any angle (i.e., not a picture frame).

Think about this the next time you are looking for something special for your coffee table.
