Coffee tables can quickly become the dumping grounds of living room clutter. But with clever styling and organizational tricks, these tables can become attractive focal points that accentuate your aesthetic. From hidden storage solutions to stacks of repurposed books – learn how to organize your coffee table drawer and make it part of your space’s design!

Decorated objects can quickly add flair to any table setting, with small sculptures or bowls filled with balls being an effective addition. Keep in mind that less is more: just a few carefully chosen items can make a strong statement while providing ample functionality.

An easy way to achieve a balanced and symmetrical table setting is to arrange large objects at the base, medium items in the middle, and smaller objects at the top – this way they blend in better with your room’s color palette and appear less out-of-place.

One mistake many people make when decorating their coffee tables is stacking too many similar-sized objects in a stack, such as books. A visual trick to avoid this would be breaking up this stack with larger objects such as an ornate vase or tall plant; adding in some heirloom items will add texture and height.

When stacking items on your table, be sure to arrange the largest item at the bottom and the smallest at the top for easy accessibility and uniformity. You could add an element of drama by stacking books that feature beautiful covers or are themed around certain topics.

An ideal solution for those aiming to reduce unsightly clutter is a coffee table with built-in storage. Just be wary when selecting one – find the appropriate balance between your sofa and table so as not to create cramped appearances. Or opt for one with removable trays like Vig Furniture’s design offering three levels of compartmentalized storage, ideal for families with young children as it can easily be taken off when not needed to prevent accessing items they shouldn’t.

Another storage option is a coffee table like TemaHome’s that features separate surfaces that slide apart, such as this table from Restoration Hardware. This provides an easy and flexible way of organizing various items as your storage needs change over time. A trunk like this one from Restoration Hardware provides fully concealed space that’s great for holding things you don’t use often or don’t want on display in your living area.

Finally, try to find a coffee table of equal height to your sofa in order to avoid making the area appear cramped. A table that’s too high may leave you feeling constricted while restricting legroom for guests.
