While some people might not have a fireplace mantel to decorate most people have a coffee table. 

Coffee tables are great. 

They are the best spots to hold our morning cup of coffee, favorite reading material and even our feet after a long day! 

Full Disclosure… Jason & I tend to disagree on the importance of styling a coffee table.

He likes them clear so an impromptu board game or huge smorgasborg of game time appetizers can happen at a moments notice. 

So our compromise is me styling the living room coffee table & we keep the family room coffee table fairly clear for his “snacks.”

Instructions for Styling a Coffee Table for Fall Step by Step

Step ONE – Books & Magazines

The first items I add to my coffee table are my favorite decorating, gardening coffee table books & current magazines.  

In this world of Pinterest & Instagram I still love to sit & flip through my favorite magazines & books for decorating ideas & recipes.

Step TWO – Textural & Seasonal Accents

A wood dough bowl filled with acorns, our coaster basket, & a glass cloche filled with homemade velvet pumpkins add seasonal interest to our fall coffee table & fill in the empty gaps my books left behind.

The seasonal accents can be changed out as quickly as the weather changes.

Acorns can easily be exchanged for pinecones in the winter & pumpkins can be changed out for Easter eggs in the Spring.

Step THREE – Living Plants or Flowers

A fresh plant or flowers instantly bring life into a room. 

Since it’s the fall I brought in fresh maple leaves from the tree in our front yard & place them in a simple ball mason canning jar.

Step FOUR – Candles

Who doesn’t love the smell of pumpkin spice in the fall? 

Candles placed on a fall coffee table can immediately give your home a sense of warmth & bonus, they smell good too!

I hope this gave you some ideas for styling your coffee tables for fall .  Don’t forget to check out my friends ideas below!!!
