Where to Start

When it comes to decorating your round coffee table, the possibilities are endless. First off, you need to select a coffee table if you don't have on already. We have some great square and round luxurious coffee table dupes here.

Here are some creative ideas to consider:

  • Greenery: Place a potted plant or a succulent arrangement for a touch of nature. This also adds some height to your table. Most of your other decorative pieces will be much smaller. If your table is big, don't be afraid to have a large vase with long stems!
  • Artful Arrangements: Create a captivating display with art books and sculptures. This is where I like to be intentional. Since the coffee table is often a gathering place, I like to incorporate decorative elements that are functional too. (Think: a beautiful match stick holder for your candles or a decorative book stand to make your coffee table books on display!)
  • Candles: Arrange scented candles on a tray for a cozy ambiance. Candles are decorative elements all on their own. Also, candle jars or bowls can often be re-purposed as decorative elements later on!

Coffee Table Decor Trays

A coffee table decor tray is an essential piece for organizing and enhancing your coffee table's look. Think of it as a grounding element to bring all of your decor together cohesively. Here's how to incorporate one effectively:

  • Choose the Right Size: Select a tray that complements your table's dimensions without overcrowding it. For me, I like to pick one that is less than half the size of the top of my table to allow room for a vase or even blank space.
  • Layer It Up: I like to use the tray to house all of my smaller decorative elements since bigger things like book stands or vases can stand on their own. For example, some things that would be perfect to include are a decorative trinket box, a mini sculpture, luxurious stone coasters, candles, and match stick holders.
  • Color Coordination: Coordinate the tray's color with your living room's theme for a harmonious appearance. If you are using the same type of material as your coffee table, try to use a different color so it doesn't blend too much. Make sure it's complementary though! You don't want it to be too stark of a contrast so that it is clashy.

How to Style a Round Coffee Table

Styling your round coffee table is all about achieving balance and visual interest. Follow these steps:

  • Start with a Base: Begin with a decorative tray, a stack of books, or a unique centerpiece. Mix materials and colors, but make sure to tie it in with the overall theme of your room.
  • Add Variety: Mix and match items of different heights and shapes to create a visually appealing arrangement. You will lose visual appeal if everything is the same height (short or tall). Moreover, if everything is tall, you may not be able to see over the objects. Consider that when selecting your pieces.
  • Negative Space: Don't overcrowd the table; leave some open space to maintain a clean and uncluttered look. Remember, it is still a coffee table that needs to be functional for your guests.
