Talk about double duty – the coffee table is one of those pieces that can serve as both a functional storage spot and an artful centerpiece. It all comes down to styling. Here are five easy ways to style the coffee table, whether you prefer a natural aesthetic or something a little more done.

Layer It

Coffee tables with space below are not only useful, they make it easy to throw down a chic display. If you have a layered coffee table, try organizing coffee table books or a pile of magazines into tidy stacks, or adding candles. So simple, so stylish.

The Bench Approach

A cushioned bench or upholstered coffee table can be unexpected and compelling. A tray makes it easy to stash items on top.

Extra Seating

Make like a mini dining table with a few floor pillows tucked beneath a simple coffee table – it looks fun and casual, and you’ll always have extra seating on hand.

Add Some Greenery

There’s something fresh and understated about plants or succulents on a coffee table. If you lack the green thumb, go with a great faux and enjoy the beauty without the upkeep.

Keep it Natural

Go for a low-key, organic look with a rustic coffee table and plant pairing. Succulents are all the rage at the moment, and you can go faux for a look that’s stylish and impossible to kill.

The coffee table is a wonderfully versatile piece, with something for every lifestyle and design aesthetic.
