Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above.

How wonderful of you to do something so nice for your parents. The only thing I would say is be sure you can return it should they not like it, we all have different tastes and you just never know.

Coffee tables are the focal point of your living room. Whether its a small family gathering or a house party, everyone will end up using it – eventually! Styling this standalone piece of furniture can really help you create an impeccable surface that every guest appreciates. Stuck on how to style your coffee table? Here are some steps to follow and you’ll nail it like a pro. Define your style Choose a theme that matches the overall decor style of your house. It can be contemporary, modern, vintage, eclectic, bohemian or any other. Use a tray, bowl or a stylish plate You coffee table can’t look too pristine or too cluttered that there’s no space left for mail, documents or afternoon tea. Instead, you want to go for a beautiful yet practical aesthetic. Trays are excellent way to make a stack look clean and confined. Use rule of three to group items For decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. The easiest way to use rule of three is by creating three stacks or grouping three different items together. Make a personal design statement We tend to save objects like family memories and souvenirs for bookshelves or console tables. Items like a family heirloom piece, your DIY project or even a memento from a memorable trip can have more impact when placed on a coffee table, where people congregate. Don’t be afraid of throwing in a few unexpected personal items – especially ones with interesting backstories.

Play with the heights and scale of objects to give structure to your composition and make it more dynamic. It also adds visual interest. Stack books Books make for excellent decor subjects. Each has something awesome and unique about it. It’s definitely something to draw inspiration from. Using books as raises for knick knacks is actually visually pleasing and organized. The book stack also adds height to the display. Lastly, they add character and a personal touch. Coffee table styling is a bit of an art. Above all else, consider how you use your coffee table before you choose how to style it. A table may be expertly styled but it wont be functional if it doesn’t serve the purpose that its owner has in mind. P.S. – Hey people. If you find this useful then do like, comment and share.
