Creating a Coffee Table Vignette

I can’t remember when it all started, but when I was growing up I spent a lot of time re-arranging my room.  One day my bed would be under the window, the next day it would be against the wall.  I think the furniture in my room never sat still for longer than a month!

I don’t re-arrange furniture very often any more, but I do like to change up small touches in my house and create little vignettes here and there.  It’s a whole lot easier to re-arrange and style little decorative items and it doesn’t make my back hurt!

Last week, I showed you how I styled my foyer table.  And, today,  I’m showing you my coffee table vignette.

It’s easy to style any table if you consider these four elements:

Varying Heights

Texture

Color

Grouping Small Items Together

I love to use trays on my coffee table.  Trays help corral several items together and they create order.  Too many random things look cluttered and chaotic.

 

I also love having plants in my vignettes.  They can add height, color and texture.  

Plus, plants add some life — even if they’re faux.

Is the succulent real or faux?  I’ll never tell!

I can’t guarantee this vignette will be the same next month or even tomorrow, but that’s what makes it fun!

    I totally agree with you about using trays on coffee tables, or any tabletop. Your wood tray is very pretty!
