At the moment I don't have a coffee table but a good tip is to use a tray to display or place items on as you can easily pick it up and move it if you need more space or to clean the table. You could use a wooden one, rattan or even a vintage silver plated tray, whatever suits your style. As for items, a few lovely coffee table books stacked neatly, a decorative container, maybe a bowl with wooden, glass or ceramic balls, a hurricane lamp with candle could be placed on the table and a vase of flowers is a must. Look around for items that suit the theme of your decor, ie if it's coastal you could use a lovely piece of white coral, a blue and white vase and some lovely books on coastal style.

Mwenji sorry I can't tell you where the art is from... was a Pinterest image... but the Designer Boys Collection have some lovely series artworks... don't know if they sell to the public but I'm sure if you scroll through their social media (instagram below) and see something you like you can comment and ask where locally you can order and/or purchase... hope this helps :)

Yes, Ann I think this room needs a lamp in the corner for extra lighting and also height and I would love a piece or two of wall decor but not necessarily a canvas or print. The room looks bare but isn't ...it's actually quite small by today's standards. Long and thin. I know what I want....just can't find it LOL. At the moment my attention is diverted to replacing my kitchen benchtop with black granite, so the lounge room is on the back burner for the next month or so. The furniture wood is Australian oak, and the lower pieces are black stain rather than paint, so the wood grain is still evident. The tops are distressed and burnished, but still sealed. Lovely quality, (weigh a ton!) and made in Australia. Bought at The SofaShop. We have always had Aussie oak. We were looking for something much lighter, but both fell in love with this....the walls are painted in hog bristle 1/4.
