Trust me, I browse decor stores for a living – these luxe buys are the ones that will elevate your coffee table
I’ve looked high and low to find the most elevating pieces for the focal point of your living room
Coffee tables are one of the most important pieces of furniture in your living room. The natural focal point of the room everyone gravitates towards - whether for lounging or entertaining - you could even call it the hub of your home. It’s a space to gather round and, of course, a key opportunity to show off your most stylish decor finds!
Styling your coffee table is a fine art, just as (if not more) important as your walls, shelving, and side tables. If you’re daunted by the task (or just need some inspo) then not to worry as I’ve done all the hard work for you and scoured the best home decor stores to find the most luxurious-feeling pieces to adorn your coffee table. From statement-making decorative objects to stylish storage solutions that are both practical and chic, here are the 9 best decor buys to elevate your coffee table.
Our top 9 coffee table decor picks
Livingetc knows design.
Best coffee table bowls
This hand-carved paulownia wood bowl is the ideal organic addition to your table. Use it to store small decorative pieces like candles and coasters – the whitewashed finish keeps it minimal and elegant.
Statement coffee table decor
I couldn't collate a list of coffee table decor without including a statement hardback book! This bestselling Assouline book fits the brief perfectly – It's eye-catching but will still pair perfectly with your more minimal pieces.
Minimalist coffee table decor
This decorative marble chain is sleek minimalist decor at its absolute finest. Casually drape it over your favorite coffee table book for an effortlessly elegant finish.
What should you display on a coffee table?
Failsafe coffee table decor choices include (but are by no means limited to): artistic hardback books, decorative bowls, trays, and candles. If you’d like your table to feel both elegant and on-trend, decorative objects like oversized marble chain links, designer scented candles, and ruffled bowls will make your space feel effortlessly elevated.
When it comes to the style of decor that you display, clean minimalist silhouettes, muted tones, and organic materials are the safest (and most on-trend) choice. Pieces like the ash wood bowl and marble chain above will fit into pretty much any decor scheme. If you keep the rest of your decor in a similar style, you can also then easily mix and match pieces with your tabletop and shelf decorative pieces to keep your living room feeling interesting and fresh.
