2. Selecting the Right Books 

Select books with bright covers & bold letterings. Varying the height of the stacks of books or layering books over each other creates an effortless style. Displaying a candle or scattering a few gemstones on top of the books provides a nice finishing touch. The scent and color of the candle can be varied according to different festive seasons.

3. Running a Table Runner over your Coffee Table

Using a table runner is the easiest way to style a coffee table. Choosing one with a colour that contrasts against the color or pattern against your furniture allow the table runner to stand out more. Apart from its aesthetic value, it also has a functional value of preventing candle wax from spilling onto the coffee table.
