Have you seen the situation of not knowing how to decorate or renovate the decoration of your centerpiece?
Do not worry anymore; here we give you some ideas that will surely be useful to perform such a creative activity, in which you can express your particular taste
First, we inform you that a coffee table has a purpose since its creation and this is ancillary to the activities that take place there, and what can these be? They range from placing reading books, placing glasses where we offer drinks, snack dishes or snacks that we offer our guests among others that depend on the activities with which you tend to socialize and develop you in your living room.
Second, you must take into account the style that prevails in that area and in general in the decoration of the rest of your house. If your house is rustic Mexican style, it would not fit properly that you placed a Greek sculpture on your table, or vice versa, placing a woman sculpture in your home with French Provencal style. However, there are a number of elements that are capable of not altering the style or that can be adapted to several without clashing and here we expose some ideas.
If your coffee table is small you should not place more than 3 items of approximately the same volume or one main, so that in this way you have space for some books, glasses, dumps that you will occasionally need to place there.
Another important point to consider is to avoid that your coffee table becomes a collection showcase or showcase of your memories. You will have seen those coffee tables that contain a diversity of figurines and if you want to place something, you have to mobilize them and discard them, because that is an inconvenience and that's when the coffee table has lost its functionality and you should avoid it. If you want to show some collection of your miniatures, then you must acquire an illuminated showcase, designed for that purpose exclusively.
On the elements that you can use on your coffee table there are different:
- FOLDERS. Currently they simulate table runners in brocades, which are exposed in capricious corrugated form without being fully extended on the surface of the table.
- CANDLES, whose color and size should be considered based on the size of your table and number of elements that you will expose on it. It is necessary to provide them with a base that harmonizes with the rest of the table and decoration elements. As an example, if you already have a bronze sculpture, as an element of your composition on your table, the base of your candles should not be of another metal (at least in color) avoiding presenting a sample of metals.
- BOOKS. These are an excellent option, such as a small stack of books (no more than 3) about art or topics of general interest that any guest finds attractive while waiting. This option goes hand in hand if your social-professional links are related to knowledge, philosophy or if at home there are minds that read. Do not incur in placing a book that you have not read.
- SCULPTURES These are a noble element and we mean that a sculpture selected with good taste is an excellent element of decoration. If this option appeals to you, choose a regular size that stands out but not greater than a quarter of the length of your table. Take care of the style and finish your sculpture to be beautiful and go according to the rest of your decoration.
- FLOWERS. There is nothing more beautiful in sight than a vase with natural flowers. This adds life and freshness to your environment. If your table is large you can opt for a large floral arrangement of natural preference and if it is small, there are currently and very effective, transparent glass bases to place no more than 2 or 3 large colors such as chrysanthemums, gannets, tulips in the middle of water There are artificial versions that resemble natural ones, so much so that it is difficult to identify that they are not natural. This is a cheaper option.
- ACCESSORIES. We refer to cup holders, ashtrays in which you must take care of the style and material so that it is integrated with the rest of the elements of the table. There are some that meet design and beauty characteristics that may well be another ornamental element of your table.
Now, after these ideas, you are ready to select the elements that best suit your taste and style of decoration, without forgetting to always take into account the functions that your coffee table will have.
