Decorating a Glass Coffee Table
Create a Focal Point
Creating a focal point on your glass coffee table is essential to your table’s overall décor. Whether you start with a centerpiece or move outward from there, having a focal point allows you to create a pleasing and complete look. Possible centerpiece items include:
- A small sculpture
- A large plant
- A beautiful vase with fresh flowers
- A decorative bowl
Bring on the Accents
Now that you’ve got a centerpiece, you can build around that with coordinating items that are reflective of your aesthetic style. Stack a few art books along one side or display a collection of glass sculptures and figurines. You can also bring in texture with a woven or jute placemat. When adding to the mix, it’s best to stick to two or three colors and use coordinating or complementary colors that create a visually interesting look on the glass coffee table.
Elevate With Light
Lighting can also brighten up your glass coffee table, literally and figuratively. Place votive candles on the surface or an elegant lamp to bring life to the design. For a different approach, you can attach small lights along the lower portion for ambient lighting.
Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches
After you’ve selected the pieces you want to display, take a few extra minutes to bring the design together with coordinating pieces like a tray, coasters, and vases. Also, scattering cozy throw blankets and pillows to create an inviting vibe.
Above All, Enjoy it!
By styling the glass coffee table thoughtfully, you can create a space that will serve as an anchor and a reflection of your personal style. Embrace the glass table top and you’ll enjoy the distinction it brings to the design.
Conclusion
Decorating a glass coffee table includes adding glass accessories, creating a focal point, incorporating lighting, and softening the look with throws and pillows. With a few thoughtful touches you can create an attractive and stylish look that will be the highlight of the room.
