Uzone.id – The coffee table is usually in the middle of the living room, family room, and bedroom. It is not just a decoration; it also has a functional side that cannot be ignored and commonly accommodate everything from coffee cups, change, and vehicle keys to stacking various items that have just been used.
The coffee table often looks messy because the user puts items on it by default. However, a coffee table is one of the key properties that can be used to decorate a room more aesthetically.
Here are tips for organizing the coffee table at home to ensure it always looks neat.
Use trays as storage space
Placing trays on the coffee table will keep things looking neat. Trays can be used to store various items according to the size purchased.
Using trays will also make storing items more organized. Plus, because of fast storage, users don’t have to bother looking for certain items when they are in a hurry.
Use trays as decoration
A tray is a perfect decoration for a coffee table. Match the tray to the room’s theme. For example, if the room’s concept is minimalist, look for a transparent acrylic tray.
To add aesthetics to the room, you can store aromatherapy candles, books, or tissue boxes inside the tray.
Use a book collection to decorate a table
Do you have a pile of books stored in a cupboard? Rather than not using them, you could use them as decoration on a coffee table.
Lay and stack the books horizontally. Choose books of various sizes to add an aesthetic impression.
If you are afraid the books will be damaged, apply this tip to a coffee table usually stored in a corner of the room, not to a coffee table used to receive guests.
Use a stack of books as a substitute for a tray
Nowadays, many replica books are deliberately sold for aesthetic purposes only. Stacking these books on a coffee table will certainly make your coffee table even more beautiful.
To avoid being boring, decorate the stack of books with statues, glass boxes, or stones.
Use green plants as decoration
Placing green plants in the middle of the coffee table will make the room more lively. The plants don’t always have to be live and need to be watered, and replica plants are also fine.
Several types of ornamental plants are suitable as decorations for coffee tables, such as succulents and cacti, which are suitable for small coffee tables; orchids, which add an elegant impression; eternal bonsai plants; and many more.
Use various textures as decoration
You can create an aesthetic look on your coffee table by mixing various textures. For example, you can combine porcelain, wood, and green plant decorations on the same wooden table.
You won’t have to worry about it looking messy because the mixture of the three textures will still feel balanced.
Use storage boxes to hide things
Are you putting storage boxes on a wooden table? Why not? Storage boxes are the most useful way to hide various pieces of clutter.
This is especially true when guests come suddenly. In less than five minutes, the wooden table will look neat again.
Use a diffuser as decoration
A room freshener such as a diffuser is perfect to be placed in the middle of a coffee table. The aroma released by the diffuser will significantly affect the mood of the people in the room.
Use a fragrance you like. If you don’t have a diffuser, you can replace it with aromatherapy candles.
Even when not used, diffusers and aromatherapy candles have aesthetic value and can beautify the room.
Try a minimalist look
With just a stack of books or a clear acrylic vase, you can create a coffee table that looks minimalist but still modern.
This tip is also suitable for those who don’t have much time to tidy up their house daily.
A few items used as decorations will make the room easy to clean and will make it easier to find specific items.
