Less is more on the coffee table

overwhelming for the taste.

So, going with three decoration pieces, you can’t really go wrong — of course, you could theoretically use more or fewer objects, but it’s a bit more tricky and harder to do, as well as requires more knowledge about design. If you’re new to interior design and want to achieve success without risking a failure, then stick with three items on your coffee table.

It’s always good if the coffee table makes the character of your house explicit and transparent. Not only the character of your house actually, but also your very own character — along with your hobbies, interests, and lifestyle.

You can use items that you value, or at least a sample of them, as the base of your coffee table decoration. It’s very effective, and if you choose the elements of decoration properly, you can create a really nice atmosphere in your living room giving a taste of yourself to the guests.

For example, people who like to read a lot of books (or pretend to do so), often like to keep books on the coffee table as an element of decoration. While some people find that appealing, it may also come across as pretentious, so I wouldn’t recommend it — I’m just trying to give you an idea about what I mean by showing your interests through the decoration on your coffee table.

Flowers are the bread and butter of every design and are always welcome — as long as they are fresh and natural.

Keep in mind, however, that these flowers will be right in front of your guests, roughly on the same level as their faces, if they decide to lay back on your sofa or armchair.

You don’t want the plants to cover the view range of your guests, thus making the conversation awkward and weird. Keep the flowers subtle, and it’s better if they are short and thin. — décorlove.com
