To enrich the aesthetic appeal of your tabletop, consider displaying a few small sculptures, busts, or figurines. To create a striking impression, group 3-5 pieces of varying heights together. Sculptures made of metal, stone, or wood in neutral colors coordinate in well with a glass table. You can also create a cohesive look by using decorative boxes, trays, or candles to group smaller accents together.
Fill a few vases with fresh flowers or greenery and arrange them on the table. For extra height, look for tall vases, like hurricane vases or glass cylinders; or place a trio of bud vases together. The transparency allows the blooms to shine through, and using seasonal flowers and foliage in complementary colors is an easy way to make a statement.
Stack a pile of art books, photography books, or other decorative tomes on one end of the table. Choose books in colors that accent your decor and arrange them in a staggered, uneven pile; the glass surface makes the books an integral part of the display. Top this with a small sculpture or vase for the perfect finishing touch.

Use decorative trays to corral smaller items like remotes, coasters, tablets, or keys. Metallic, mirrored, or patterned trays add subtle glamor. You can also place a tray on top of books or in front of a vase to create levels. Trays make it straightforward to move items if you want to change up your look.

Insight – Use A Table Runner: A runner in a patterned fabric is an effortless way to dress up the table. Choose one that’s slightly wider than the surface for full coverage.
Transform your living room with a large centerpiece on your coffee table. A captivating decorative piece will instantly draw attention and become the focal point of the room. Enhance the ambiance with an ornate bowl, a sculptural object, or a cluster of candles elegantly arranged at varying heights.
An ornate bowl, especially one in a metallic finish like gold or copper, adds glamor and visual interest. Look for a bowl with an intricate pattern or texture, like a Moroccan-inspired mosaic bowl or a bowl with etched or embossed detailing. Fill it with decorative glass beads, river stones, or metallic orbs for extra panache. The reflective surface of the table will make the bowl appear to float, highlighting its allure.
Choose a bold sculptural object, such as a geode, chunk of raw crystal, or metallic statue, for a dramatic statement. The transparent surface provides the ideal pedestal to display an unusual artful item. Look for pieces with lots of visual texture that form interesting shadows and reflections. A large geode, for example, would reflect light in a dazzling way, and placing a few tealight candles in the geode’s openings for will bring added drama.
Grouping candles at varying heights is an effortless way to devise an eye-catching centerpiece for your coffee table. Choose candles in a complementary color scheme and mix different shapes, sizes, and styles. Arrange the tallest candles in the center and cascade smaller candles down and around. The flickering flames will reflect on the glass surface while the different candle heights add visual dimension. For ambiance, opt for unscented candles so the focus remains on the vivid arrangement.

Recast your plain coffee table into a trendy centerpiece with a simple trick: layering! Add a hint of texture and personality to your space by draping throws, placing pillows, and using tray liners. Don’t settle for boring when you can make a statement.
Drape a cozy throw or blanket over part of the tabletop. A neutral color works well and allows the glass surface to still shine through, while ringed or textured throws add visual interest. For a pop of color, try a vibrant ethnic-inspired throw; fold a blanket in half or thirds and place it on one end of the table. This creates a padded area for resting feet, snacks, or coffee table books. A chunky knit blanket in a natural fiber like cotton or wool furnishes an inviting texture.
Arrange decorative pillows on the floor around the table’s base. Velvet, leather, or linen pillows in complementary colors make a chic vignette. For a relaxed bohemian feel, toss down floor cushions in tribal or global prints.
A large rattan or metal tray placed on the tabletop groups smaller items and also protects the glass from scratches and wear. Look for a tray with cut-out handles or an interesting shape. Placemats, especially leather or felt ones, also work sufficiently on glass tables. Position two placemats on either end of the table for a straightforward yet chic touch. Round placemats create a softer shape against the rigid lines of a square table.

Insight- Include Potted Plants: Small to medium-sized potted plants like succulents or cacti look stylish on glass tables. Consider a trailing plant that can hang over the edge.
