10 Home Interior Decorating Ideas
To Wake Up Your
Coffee Table

As you know, home interior decorating demands attention to detail if you want to create your decorating dream.

One of those details is your coffee table, which is at the center of your conversation area.

Along with your area rug, it is the glue that helps to hold the pieces together. Because it commands so much attention, go the extra mile and transform your coffee table from a simple oversized coaster to a work of art. Try these 10 home interior decorating ideas:

• Display Books- Display a few hardcover books that are interesting and have covers which tie into your decor color scheme. Preferably, the books should be the larger versions, but should not be too thick.

• Add candles/candleholders- This is always a winner. If you have some intriguing candleholders, try those. Use at least two candleholders for balance.

• Display A Decorative Box- I consider decorative boxes to be compact works of art. Find one that matches your style, but don't display a tiny box that will get lost on the table.

• Display A Figurine Or Sculpture- Any eye-catching sculpture or figurine will make a wonderful statement as well as a conversation piece.

• Display Flowers In A Vase Or Decorative Container- Place you favorite flowers in a decorative vase or display an arrangement of silk flowers. My coffee table below has a single white silk orchid in a miniature silver ice bucket.

  

  
  
  
• Change Or Refinish The Table Base- If your coffee table has a glass top, change the base to jazz things up. I changed my base and used two large earthy pots. It worked perfectly.

• Try A More Interesting Table- Try something unusual like an old steamer trunk or consider a table with and intriguing shape or design.

• Display A Bowl Of Decorative Balls- The balls provide a three dimensional pattern and texture to complement your home interior decor.

• Display A Basket Of Fresh Fruit- The basket will add charm to your conversation area and help to make it warm and inviting.

• Keep Clutter Away- You don't really want a lecture on this one do you? But if you could use some help in this area, I recommend that you check out the tools and advice offered by Get Organized Now.

  In order to wake up your coffee table, I recommend that you first consider the accessories that you have on hand. What unusual items do you possess? What are your favorite keepsakes?...

  These are the things you'll want to display.

  Try Sovietski Collection for antique pieces that are unique and eye-catching. They offer home interior decorating accessories from the Soviet Union and Europe. I think its just a matter of time before the collectibles market discover this jewel.

  If your decorating style is Contemporary or Eclectic, you'll appreciate Novica. They offer hand made earthy artifacts from all over the world. This is one of my favorite sites.

  Finally, why not display your own personal handmade crafts? You can easily turn outdated and second-hand items into decorator pieces by following the techniques in the book Quick & Stylish Decorative Crafts
