What to Put On a Formal Coffee Table
A formal coffee table is the highlight of any sitting area in a home. It serves as a central focal point for the room, and can be accessorized to be both stylish and functional. Here are a few ideas on what to put on your formal coffee table:
Centerpiece
- Vase of fresh flowers
- Dried flowers or plant
- Small sculpture or figurine
- Candle display
Display Decor
- Framed photographs
- Books – fiction, nonfiction, bestsellers, etc.
- Decorative boxes
- Ceramic or glass bowls
Functional Items
- Coasters
- Remote controls
- Cup of tea

When accessorizing your formal coffee table, it is important to choose items that add to the atmosphere of the room. Too many items can make the space look cluttered, while too few can make it look cold. The main goal is to create a balanced, inviting look that welcomes visitors.
