Flowers
A large or
shallow vase of fresh cut or even high quality silk flowers can be a lovely
addition to a coffee table. The
wonderful thing about fresh flowers is that they can change with every season,
giving the room a new accent color as the seasons or even your personal
preferences change. Of course, this can
also be an added expense and hassle but it may be worth it for your living room
to be welcoming and bright.
A Coffee Table Book
You don’t
have to choose a traditional coffee table book if you choose to use literature
in your décor, though you may go that way if you wish. Instead, look for books that truly showcase
your personality rather than choosing by the color of the dust jacket and how
it matches your sofa. You may even want
to stack two or three regular books instead of one large coffee table book to
let guests know what you care about and that you are someone who is
intellectual and thoughtful and who is always up for a rousing conversation
about literature.
Pottery
Any type of
pottery can look lovely as a coffee table centerpiece. Large bowls that are filled with colorful
baubles can be bold and playful while shallow trays filled with smaller
trinkets can be more delicate and still lovely.
A piece of nice hand made or vintage found pottery shows off your fine
taste and appreciation for bohemian art and comforting décor.
The truth of
the matter is that you can put whatever you like in the center of your coffee
table and it is an area that you will end up seeing often so you may get
quickly sick of one centerpiece and decide to change it out for something
else. The good news is that you are of
course allowed to do that and it is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to
refresh your coffee table and your living room at any time.
