Dissecting the fine art of staging
Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with my own living room, I am faced with a challenge that has somewhat eluded me: how to accessorize our coffee table. Perhaps because I am a graphic designer, the 2D applications (consoles, bookshelves, nightstands, dressers) seem to come much easier for me. Once in the round, I tend to overthink it. I’m my own worst enemy. (Not to mention a 2-1/2 year old who wants to grab mommy’s pretty things.)
So I’ve been collecting images as of late, in the hopes that I will be inspired suddenly to set up our own coffee table just right. I know the essentials: books, a tray and/or box, and a few sculptural items/curiosities. Maybe candlesticks or flowers for height. Now how to put it all together…
