Tips for Creating a Cozy Coffee Table
A coffee table serves many purposes in a living room, including as a surface for food and drink, a spot to rest your feet, a hiding spot for the remote, and, of course, as an attractive decorative accent. It could be all of these things, at the very least. If you aren't careful, your coffee table can quickly become a cluttered mess, and if you're afraid to get creative, it can be a drab disappointment. So that you can master the art of decorating a coffee table with confidence and flair, I have compiled some useful guidelines with specific situations to follow.

Here, designer Kate Jackson uses the principle that putting the tallest item in the center creates a more aesthetically pleasing symmetry. However, a bit of calculated asymmetry can be striking in its own right. Heightening the ensemble will make it feel more active and interesting.
To add even more visual interest, cut an inch or two off the base of one candle in each candlestick.

Refectory Tables Made of Glass When accessorizing a glass coffee table, remember that it's not all about the things you place on top. In this Toronto apartment, I went with a graphic rug to complement the see-through table.
