With so many ideas and inspirations on the internet, it can be confusing to figure out exactly how to style a coffee table. But these 10 easy ideas will make styling a coffee table much simpler.
Coffee tables are typically the focal point of a living room, family room, or den. They can be used to display books and magazines, keep drinks and snacks, serve as a footrest and even double as an extra seat when needed. They come in all shapes and sizes, with many different styles to choose from.
However, styling a coffee table is altogether a different ball game. Gone are the days when it was just a table. Now it is a stage to display all the cool things you’ve collected in your lifetime.
Here are 10 simple styling tips on how to style a coffee table:
Keep it natural
Using different types of natural materials on your coffee table can help create a rustic look. Choose an unpolished wooden coffee table to achieve this look. Go for a grass-woven tray, a brass planter, and some flowers.
Branch it out
Display handpicked tree branches for a modern farmhouse-style look. You can also go for a faux or an artificial tree branch.
Tip: Choose a tree with flowers that go with the color scheme of your space.

Nesting coffee table
Go for a nesting coffee table. Use the bigger piece for adding decor pieces like a statement candle, coffee table books, a plant, etc. The smaller table can be used for keeping trays or cups when guests are visiting. This way you don’t have to move anything on your perfectly styled coffee table to make space for coffee mugs.
Confined To A Tray
If you want to avoid too much clutter on your table, consider keeping the decor confined to a tray. Use a suitable-sized tray and carefully spread out all the style pieces in it. This would leave the rest of the table free for use while keeping a minimal look.
Style with Candle Holders
Show off your fancy candle holders by creating height variations with different types of them.
Brass and Marble
Modern design makes a lot of use of these two materials – brass and marble. You can choose to style a minimal round marble tray with brass decor pieces.
A collection of coffee table books
Stack up a bunch of coffee table books and magazines to entertain your guests. It’s a great way to show off your collection, fill up the coffee table, and also let your decor pieces shine by placing them on top of these books.
A Simple Look: Houseplant and A Book
Keep the styling to a minimum by just placing a thriving houseplant at the center of your coffee table and maybe a book or two. This is a great look if you want to achieve an effortless look.
Fruit and Flowers
Add some color by displaying fresh fruits and flowers on your coffee table. If keeping fresh fruits is a hassle due to constant replacement, try faux fruits that go with the color scheme of the rest of the room.
