I don't know about you but I am so happy to have Summer at my door step! With the change of season I like to lighten up things in the house and add greenery and colors of nature. My coffee table is not an exception!
Have you changed out your table decor yet? Here are a few hints on how to bring life to your table.
I love adding tones of green,whites or blues depending on the spaces color scheme. Also organic materials that tend to be monochromatic such as wood, clay and stone lend themselves well to gray and taupe interiors,especially if you are afraid of color.
However, I do believe that every table should have some life to it and that can be done in the way of flowers or plants. Those should add lovely color naturally to monochromatic spaces. The other thing I like is something unexpected in the way of accessories, it could be an antique store or flea market find or even something your child has made for you. All these things add personality to a table.
My must haves are books, trays, candles and coasters! For one. I love my family and guests but don't love rings or things spilled on my table and trays and coasters solves those issues. Books, well doesn't everyone like leafing through a beautiful book or picking up something fun to read while waiting for dinner or relaxing? Candles just add that ambience and favorite scent wafting through the entire room.
