Shop Around Your Home for This Styling Trick

Styling shelves and tables are always a work in progress... you either change them seasonally, get bored with the arrangement or find new treasures that you want to include.  Even better yet, you shop around your home and look for new treasures! I always tell clients to see what they have in their home first, before going out and buying new items. Maybe you can re purpose an old item, give it new life with spray paint or move things from one room to another for a change. I always love fun changes that are also free! Working with one of my most recent clients, we talked about styling the coffee table. I suggested to shop around her home for books and small trinkets or vases. A great tried and true idea is to stack a few hard cover books on the table and add a vase of fresh flowers, or an unexpected accessory on top. It's functional, because you will always have your favorite books within reach! Here are some great styling ideas for your coffee table:

















Flowers or little treasures paired with books bring great texture and interest to the table. It's a mix of the practical with the pretty; something with straight lines vs. something sculptural. It's a great pairing! Take a look around your home... I'm sure you'll find amazing treasures!
