How to style a coffee table for every season
When it comes to decorating your home, nothing is more inviting than a coffee table that’s stylish and welcoming.
Your coffee table can add personality, warmth and visual interest - making it the perfect centrepiece for any room in the house! And why not switch things up according to the season? With some creativity and flair, you can easily makeover your coffee table depending on what time of year it is. Whether you’re looking for summer neutrals or wintery whites - this guide explains everything from how to choose items based on your personal style brought alive by seasonal elements. It doesn’t matter whether you have a large living area or an intimate nook; when styled correctly with carefully chosen pieces; you will have a captivating space that fits every aesthetic.
Add colour and texture for the summer
Summer is the perfect time to make your home feel airy and bright. Styling your coffee table is a great way to bring some fresh, unique touches into your space without breaking the bank. Start by adding in a pop of colour—choose a fun patterned blanket or quilt and cover up your table with it.
Then, accessorise with a glass jar full of flowers for an added touch of whimsy. Top off the look with a small bowl filled with vibrant dyed stones, some scented candles, and even a couple of books if you’ve been searching for something new to read. With these simple steps, you can transform your coffee table into an inviting spot that captures the summer spirit.
Keep things cosy in the fall
Fall decorating is all about the possibilities, especially when it comes to styling your coffee table. After dusting off that summer florals and vibrant colours, you can start to make the transition towards a more muted palette of rich hues. Start with an interesting neutral base layer like a patterned or solid-coloured runner, then choose items in earthy tones for depth and texture; a cosy knit blanket, a basket full of pinecones, small pumpkins, a centrepiece candelabra - anything goes!
The key is finding the right mindful balance of items while adding those extra touches like copper accessories and natural elements like moss or flowers to subtly accentuate your stylish fallscape. Time to get creative; fall decorating is waiting!
Add conversation-starters in the winter
Winter is a great time to style your coffee table with simple, yet cosy decorations. Couple a scented candle with evergreen branches and fresh apples for a seasonally-inspired centrepiece. You can also try swapping out your regular books for large distinctively patterned coffee table books or wrapping an interesting vintage-inspired fabric scarf around stacks of books, to create a winter cottage-like feeling.
Top it off with a few conversation pieces, such as aesthetically pleasing objets d'art, glass terrariums or unique decorative trays filled with seasonal ornaments and potpourri to create an inviting winter oasis!
Add freshness and zest in the spring
There's something about spring that just makes us want to freshen up our decor, and one of the easiest places to start is with your coffee table. Incorporate a little bit of the outdoors by adding a vase filled with colourful wildflowers or a clustered set of succulents. Another option is to add a touch of greenery with a plant—preferably something calming like a fiddle-leaf fig or snake plant. Try swapping out heavier throws in colder months with light-coloured coverings and microfiber fabric.
To top it all off, displays are an awesome way to complete the look and feel of your spring-ready table—try grouping various natural elements such as books, decorative sculptures, and candles for an earthy yet modern aesthetic. Whether you prefer subtle details or bold patterned accents, updating the look and feel of your coffee table for the season can give any room that extra sparkle it needs!
