Tabletop decor is the easiest way to play with your style. You can constantly move things around, test out bolder pieces or colors, & keep things fresh. Today I’m showing you some of my favorite tabletop decor pieces for your entryway table, console table, side tables, nightstands, dining tables, and bookshelves. 

Some of the same pieces I use across different tabletops are trays, bowls, and coffee table books. I love how I can use each of these pieces to create layers & mix textures. By using these items as a base, I can build from there & create depth and interest. 

Group in 3's if the objects are smaller. If you do this, use pieces that are different sizes.

Here are some of my tips for styling & coordinating tabletop decor:

1.) Group in 3’s, unless its one oversized vase or piece. If you think it can stand alone, it probably can! 

2.) Layer items. But chain links or faux artichokes inside bowls and trays. Stack smaller vases in front of taller ones! Create depth instead of just having one little piece on your mantle.

3.) Add height! Use coffee table books under a lamp or a decorative object. I wouldn’t use more than 3 books at a time, but you can really use them under anything! 

4.) Have fun with it and take off the pressure. When I style a surface I usually am walking by and tweaking several times before I love it. You’ll know when its done! 

I love using books to add height.
I love different textures!
When styling an entryway table I don't like to be too matchy-matchy. I like to have a large lamp on one side and then have some books with a decorative object on the other. I should probably find something higher so the lamp doesn't seem so large! (but its also the camera angle; my entryway is tiny!) I then always have a tray in the middle with a trio of items. This is always changing based on my mood!
