Coffee table decor ideas – 9 design rules for coffee table layouts and trends
Getting the furniture right in a living room is one of the biggest challenges in design. This needs to be a practical space, whether for watching TV or creating good conversation. What you choose needs to be stylish and contribute to the personality and harmony of the space. This is where the coffee table truly shines – usually the central piece of furniture in a living or sitting room, the humble coffee table has a vital part to play in this family space.
Coffee table styling is the finishing touch a living space. Often the last piece of furniture to be bought – after the sofa and storage – coffee tables are often, even unintentionally, the focal point of a living room, so finding the perfect coffee table décor ideas are a must.
