☕ Fancy a coffee...table arrangement?

Occasional table or coffee table arrangements are a lovely way of sharing your style. Creating a pleasing aesthetic doesn’t have to be difficult either, and whether your table is big or small, you can be sure of making a statement with these quick tips. 

The main thing to coffee-table-arranging is to start with something square (a book or even just the shape of the table). Next, add height, then something from nature - faux of course...and finally a contrast with a unique shape. They don't have to be separate, for example you can have a tall vase with a beautiful faux arrangement in - two in one!

Choose small arrangements if you want something low-key - use a smaller vase and make sure to bend those stems!

Faux floral arrangements are the easiest way to accessorise a low or small table – even if they get knocked as people pass there won’t be any mess from falling flower or plant detritus. You can pop them on a stack of books or artfully arranged magazines: no spills – no stress!

Use ornaments and 3-5 stacked books to create different heights, adding interest and texture. A statement vase with a lovely faux arrangement in the a rounded vase works well like this, as the more organic rounded lines of the vase and artificial flowers contrast well with square shapes like boxes, books or even folded blankets.

 It can also be that your shapes can echo each other, like an interesting vase paired with a gorgeous bouquet, beside a rounded ornament on a round decorative tray.

This is stunning alone as a statement, or can be accompanied beautifully by a stack of books topped off with a stylish ornament.

One more tip - if your coffee table is round, think of a triangle when arranging, and divide the space accordingly. And don't forget...have fun while arranging! Fancy a cuppa?
