Side Table Styling

Happy Monday everybody! I had a thrilling weekend! Why? Because I went shopping! Lol. What’s even better? I found some great things, like a side table at TJ Maxx for 30 bucks! Yes I said a whole table for 30 bucks.

I’d switched some furniture around in my home and I needed another table in the living room, imagine my surprise when I saw this beautiful table for only $30!

I immediately snatched it up and I’m going to show you how I styled it in my space:

I styled the table next to the couch with pictures, coffee table books, knick knacks, and a lamp. After I looked at it for a while I added the hour glass. What do you think?

Live it. Love it. Style it.

Coffee Table Books

My favorite piece of functional and fashionable décor, the coffee table book! They come in all different sizes, colors, and subjects.

You can style coffee table books a number of ways: you can stack them, prop them up, stagger them, heck they don’t even have to go on your coffee table.

I think the reason I love them so much is because you can get coffee table books in subjects you like! They not only look good as décor but you can read them as well!

I have coffee table books on travel, fashion, makeup, designers, etc. I’ve found them in a couple of different places as well. Some I ordered from Amazon but I found lot of them at a local used book store! Prices vary but I think coffee table books are timeless and chic!

 

Coffee Table Styling

Are you a knick-knack person? Do you like tchotchkes? I do! I use my knick-knacks to add a flair to tables, bookshelves, etc. I use them as something extra or finishing touches.

I feel like your coffee table just screams for little decorative extras. Why not? I don’t drink coffee so I have no other choice. JK. The coffee table is such a versatile piece and often times it’s the center piece of a room, so have a little fun with it.

You can go in many different directions with coffee table styling depending on the fashion or the function of the room. This is were knick-knacks or tchotchkes come in. You can add these in to make something functional look fabulous.

Here are a few examples of different styles and pieces that create different looks.

As you can see you have quite a few options to mix and match I incorporated pictures, flowers, and books. You can add or take away just depends on your preference or the aesthetic of the room. You can have fun with color or stick to a theme.

Live it. Love it. Style it.
