Styling formula
| Item | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Base | A tray or stack of books |
| Height | A vase or candle |
| Shape | A sculptural object or bowl |
| Life | Flowers or a plant |
| Space | Leave room for cups and feet |
Core styling
- Layered books and magazines as a base.
- Decorative trays to corral small items.
- Fresh flowers or greenery in a low vase.
- Candles and ambient lighting.
- Sculptural or artistic objects.
Layouts for rectangles
- Style in threes along the length.
- Create two zones at each end with space in the middle.
- Use a long runner tray for balance.
- Keep heights varied from low to medium.
- Mirror groupings on a large table.
Personal and seasonal
- Add a decorative bowl for remotes and keys.
- Display a travel souvenir or heirloom.
- Swap in seasonal accents like pinecones or citrus.
- Add a small trailing plant.
- Include a game or puzzle box for family use.
Tip: Keep candles away from books, flowers and the sofa edge, and use LED candles where children or pets play. Choose heavy, stable objects rather than tall, top-heavy vases on tables that get bumped, and keep toxic plants like lilies away from cats.
