9 Decor Ideas For Your Coffee Table From Real-Life Homes

Written By Unknown on Thursday, July 31, 2014 | 9:40 AM

Coffee tables are one of those pieces of furniture that you find in almost every single home and unfortunately, most of them end up looking the same: covered with old magazines and whatever clutter was carried through the door that day.



The exception? The surfaces you see here. They don't just single-handedly prove that a couple bold books and carefully-chosen accents can go a long way, but they also remind us what a coffee table can (and should) look like as well. Check out the decor ideas that caught our eye in the stellar examples below.



1. A modern tray gives design structure while maintaining organization.





2. Fresh flowers provide a focal point of color and bring new life to the space.





3. Objects on books (on even more books) give dramatic depth to a basic base.





4. A tufted ottoman or pair of stools makes for a cozy coffee table alternative.





5. Metallic or monochromatic accents are the perfect way to fill those awkwardly blank spots.





6. Squares on circles -- or circles on squares -- create an eye-catching contrast.





7. The more you display, the more you add personality.





8. But keeping things minimal makes a strong statement.





9. Just don't forget to leave space for the most important part -- it is a "coffee" table, after all.
