Aside from the sofa, the other piece of furniture that is a focus of any living room is the coffee table which mostly ends up as a standard-in dining table or a reprieve for remote controls. Whether you own a coffee table that is a DIY project, a cheap thrift store find, or a statement piece that you have splurged on, it would be worth your while to style and decorate like you would any other area in your home. After all, it is mostly the centerpiece for many homes, especially in apartments and smaller houses.

1. Natural elements to give color and bring the outdoors in
2. Candles to add ambience and even a fresh scent to the room
3. Books to entertain your visitors
4. Decorative accents to add interest and spark conversation
5. Tray to organize all these items
