5 Tips to Help You Style a Round Coffee Table
If you want to spruce up your living room, replacing your rectangular coffee table with a round one might be a good idea. But how do you style a round coffee table? Here are five simple tips to help you out.
Our Round Coffee Table Purchase
I had searched for a square coffee table for our family room for years, and I bought a round one instead. It never really suited the space as it was too small for the room’s size.
Our smaller living room on the main floor is a perfect fit for this piece of furniture, creating an illusion of more space and allowing us extra room to move around comfortably. The furniture is made of a darker wood that blends seamlessly with our existing decor and adds a touch of richness to the ambiance of the room.

How to Style a Round Coffee Table
If you’re in the market for a round coffee table, you can use some simple design tricks to make it look even better. The key is to start with a clear surface and get creative with your decor.

Style a Round Coffee Table in 5 Steps

- Edit and update
Table Styling Inspiration
1. Visualize your table with three points
Envision a triangle on your round table to create three points. These three points, when decorated, will give you enough room on your table to entertain guests or for your morning coffee. This is a simple way to find a starting point for your decor.
2. Add a focal point
Remembering the triangle, add your tallest item as a focal point on your round coffee table. Adding vases or jars with greenery is an excellent choice when adding height while styling.
If you love a piece but it is not quite the right height, you can include a riser or tray to add those extra few inches you are looking for.
3. Layer decor pieces for interest
Layer accent decor that has various heights. Use items that work with your style, colors that coordinate with your room, and textures to give dimension.
Layer books, storage boxes, candles, pottery, or unique collected items. This is your time to shine as you add one or two pieces that feel like home.
4. Use small accents as a finishing touch
Add accent decor as that final touch to finish off your style. Use candles, magnifying glasses, chains or knots, bells, beads, or boxes.
These small pieces can sit nicely on top of a stack of books or beside one of your layered pieces. These small accents will give your round table a finished touch.
5. Edit and Update
Ensure the styling feels balanced, whether it is symmetrical or asymmetrical. If you love change, allow a few pieces to be swapped out for the seasons.
Depending on our season, things like faux stems and seasonal accents will offer subtle changes and add warm or cool tones.
Styling a Round Coffee Table
The round table in our living room is yet another piece I have learned to love again. It is surprising how shopping for your home and moving things from room to room change your vision of a space and how it can be styled.
With these helpful tips, you can quickly transform the appearance of your living space and create a cozy atmosphere by styling your round coffee table. Give them a try in your own space and see the amazing difference they can make!
