Learn how to decorate your coffee table with these 3 tips
The coffee table is one of the most aesthetically pleasing pieces of furniture in modern living rooms, as it greatly influences the visual appearance of the room. In addition to its material, shape, colors, proportions and size, it is extremely important to take into account the way it is used, as it must be pleasant, functional, coherent with the rest of the furniture and have a balanced decoration.
In this blog we teach you how to correctly choose and place the objects that will decorate it, and at the same time, we show you some of the best furniture in Medellín and Bogotá that would make a great coffee table in your home.
- Take into account the distribution of objects and their sizes
To achieve a harmonious effect, it is important to balance the visual weight of your coffee table. Place dense objects, such as books, on opposite sides of the table and fill the remaining spaces with small containers, trays, accessories or vases that are also functional in your daily life.
Since coffee tables are usually low pieces of furniture, we also recommend this type of decorative element to compensate for their height; however, these should not exceed a few centimeters.
The most important thing is not to use your coffee table as storage, filling it with unnecessary items. If you want to store a larger number of items, we suggest opting for a coffee table set, which usually consists of two or more tables of different sizes. Keeping your table uncluttered will keep it looking more aesthetic, clean and functional.
- Combine materials
Placing objects made of the same material as the table is seen as an unstylish practice, so we recommend doing the opposite. If your base is made of wood, you can decorate it with pieces of glass or stone; and if it is made of metal, for example, you can give it a more natural touch by integrating oak or ceramic accessories. This contrast of textures and colors will achieve a more modern and striking effect, and at the same time, the accessories you place there will not be lost visually.
- Choose the decorations that best represent the style of your home
This is the opportunity to reflect your tastes, personality and interests, through colors, figures, hobbies, or even framed family photos. Books are a great example of this, as you can place your favorites there, or those you soon hope to start reading in the comfort of your sofa, while giving your room an intellectual touch. In addition, these also work as a small podium for a smaller piece. On the other hand, there are trays, where you can store small items that you love and give a unique touch to your table.
