So, how can we turn this utilitarian piece of furniture into a well decorated and stylish 'statement piece' instead?

Think... fresh flowers, handsome books, a lovely tray, and just a few well chosen collectibles.

Arrange them into an aesthetically pleasing vignette and voila...    you've created a

Create an Elegant Coffee Table Display

I love the look of a beautifully decorated coffee table.  The living room is typically a more refined space in the home, and offers the perfect location for creating an elegant and sophisticated coffee table display.

The size of a coffee table will dictate the number of decor items one should display. To prevent a sense of heaviness, consider incorporating a few glass pieces in a larger decorative arrangement.

Small stacks of books add creative interest and a sense of dimension to a coffee table vignette. Display a pretty, decorative item on top to create sparkle and contrast.

A vase of fresh cut flowers or a beautiful potted plant not only creates needed height, it adds life and movement to a coffee table display.  A lovely, decorative box adds further texture and visual interest.
