You don’t need expensive artwork to make your coffee table look elegant and chic. Simple flower vases or moss topiaries add instant color and style pop and are easily changed with the seasons. Create a personal design statement by displaying some of your favorite books, or shells from your last family vacation. With a little planning, you can turn a messy tabletop into a design feature to be proud of.
Living Room Coffee Table
Your coffee table is the anchor of your living room, making a design statement and functioning as a visual focal point. This is also one of the messiest surfaces in your home. Remote control, magazines, knick-knacks, e-mail … if it’s in your hands when you sit on the couch, that possibility ends at the coffee table, and “mess” is a design statement that nobody wants to make.

Soothing palette
Let the vibrations flow from room to room with the other smart paint tip. “I often paint one-color houses all over,” said Susana Simonpietri, interior designer and co-founder of Chango & Co. “Or, I will try soft colors in a room that gets the most natural light, then work through the rest of the house with deep shades of blue and gray.”
