Coffee Table Styling – from one season to the next

Who’s ready for some holiday decorating? I feel like we just finished packing up our holiday decor from last year – time flies when you’re a fan of seasonal decorating! ☺️

I’m all about small changes that make a big impact when it comes to holiday accessories. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and the New Year, it’s a lot to keep up with from pumpkins to sparkles. I love having a foundation to add to or remove from without too much hassle or spending.

Whether it be the fireplace mantle, table or – my favorite – the coffee table. This is a spot that gets a lot of attention, from TV time to a gathering of guests. The coffee table is a sort of anchor to any living/great room. What a perfect place to take advantage of for some seasonal decorating. If you’re looking for minimal change and lots of attraction that transitions from one holiday to the next – here are some fun ideas and accessories to get you inspired.

Lights and Candles-

Hurricanes, votives or any decorative element that gives off the holiday glow. Candles can go year round, of course, but I especially love taking advantage of multiple candles to add warmth and welcoming vibes.

I love how the leaves of this decorative orb give of the Fall look while the twinkling lights can carry the festive mood all the way through the New Year.

A tray, basket or bowl-

A bowl, basket or any vessel that can can be easily interchangeable with Fall inspired items or Christmas ornaments or baubles – or anything that sparkles.

These mini pumpkins are fun to create Fall/Thanksgiving looks. That beautiful candle holder centerpiece can be filled with fir stems or Christmas baubles as the holidays transition.

More mini pumpkins! Your favorite bowl that usually holds a garland of wood beads now holds something set for Thanksgiving.

Statement Accessories-

Decorative pieces that can be placed directly on the table or on top of a stack of books or box. Choose on statement piece that will set the seasonal stage – these can be investment pieces or craft store finds. Think, chic tree or a set of classy pumpkins.

Ceramic Trees on a tray with some candles for warmth – add branches or stems that talk about the foliage outside.

Glass pumpkins grouped on a table will say all things Thanksgiving!

Metallic Touches-

Mercury glass has a festive look that can last all year, but it especially adds warmth and shine. Decorative items, hurricanes and votives for candles or bowls to hold foliage or wood accents for contrast.

A mercury glass ball that lights up for extra effect. I love the idea of placing it on a stack of coffee table books that sit on a coffee table year round.

Metallic gives a magical sheen, with a rattan handle for a casual contrast on this tray. Fill it with stems, decorative balls, candles and more.

A vessel for foliage-

A vase that can hold a whole range of seasonal foliage. Fall stems, winter florals, pinecones and fir. Anything that speaks the season to you!

This table has all of the staples that can go from one holiday to the next – envision winter greenery in place of the fall stems and red and green tone votives.

A vase without botanicals is a popular addition to coffee table styling. Come seasonal change – add your foliage to max out the holiday look.

For the early Christmas decorator-

Christmas decorations with a natural, earthy inspired look can pass for a Fall/Winter look. These are very easy to find as they have been a lasting trend for a couple of years now. Personally, it’s one of my favorite looks.
