If there's one thing I'm gonna do, it's decorate and redecorate my coffee table twice a week.
Experimenting with decor is so fun (and free if you "shop" your own decor stash)! Changing up the way my coffee table is styled helps me not get bored of my living room, and gives me a creative outlet. Plus, with how much I change my mind, it's easier to rearrange a tray on a coffee table every few days than it is to repaint my whole house ;)
Whether you like minimalism, maximalism, or something in between, I hope you find one of these 5 coffee table decor ideas to use in your own home!

[@dlswindal6529]

Number 5 is my fav! I love the gray colors and the tan tray!

[@brendadickson5267]

I loved look #5 because I liked the plant head lady. However, Millie and Ben looked so sweet together on the couch.

[@morganstalter5635]

Absolutely love number 5! If only I had that vase 😍 I usually go with something similar to number 1 with all my plants and table books

[@whitleyvanaman5157]

Love the remotes in the basket. Let’s be honest, love them all.

[@snsdecker2010]

Love that old mirror. The remotes are always such an eyesore. I cleaned up a very dirty wooden drawer my carpenter grandfather built years ago to use as a tool drawer for storing mine.

[@breannacarroll5137]

Also, the throw pillows on the couch really compliment the coffee table

[@claireisacamel]

Am I the only one thinking how great so many of these would be on the mantle?! 🙌🙌🙌 love love love!

[@olivebranchcottage]

Awww yes! 🥰 a mantle is one thing I wish I had in my home. Some day!

[@krystalknott2273]

Loveeee the first look but love the practicality of “all my remotes in one basket” .. need me one of them please! Lol

[@AndrewDaniele87]

Never thought of putting a mirror as a base, that looks really good!

[@KJHulagirl]

Style number two with the mirror does it for me. Love it! Especially with the books and the clock.

[@karenroot100]

I love the look of stacking plants on books! 😊

[@trinahansard9284]

I loved the different looks! You are totally right about just needing to see it in someone else’s space.

[@shaeglassco6342]

Honestly the pups on the couch are the best decor. But, everything else is cute too! ✨

[@olivebranchcottage]

Totally agree! 🥰

[@caleighbarnes667]

This is my sign to decorate my coffee table😌✨

[@AplinsintheAlps]

I love all things books and mirrors, so that’s definitely my favorite look! Also, I love that you mom said, “Come trim my tree for free!” 😂 Guess that’s a win-win for both of you 😁

[@olivebranchcottage]

Haha! I think she had some underlying motives 😉

[@suburbansoil1193]

I have been wanting to have a coffee table for a while now, and now I HAVE to have one! 😍

[@katieholmes4420]

UGHHH that topiary bust planter is the cutesttttttttt😩😍 TRAAYYY CUTE!!😜

[@jasminebutler975]

Love them ALL! I struggle with easy ways to style in my house by reusing things I already have… thanks for the inspiration!

[@cherelundberg9977]

Love all of them but my favorite is Mirror Image. I would never think to use a mirror and think that’s a fabulous idea. If you have a candle burning it would reflect, so pretty. ☺️

[@olivebranchcottage]

Oh that is so true!! Running to try it asap 🏃‍♀️

[@LifeAsTanya]

Loved the mirror idea (#2) but #5 steals my heart. I’m a sucker for a curious vase, plants and a bonus pup 💕

[@autumngreenhirth8225]

I love the plants in the designs! Can't wait to have a home with more than 3 windows do I can have all the plant babies 😍

[@alina-nj5mo]

#4 is definitely my favorite because i’ve had struggles hiding controllers before and making the area look nice!

[@breannacarroll5137]

I love tray cute (love me a good pun) and mirror image. Both are lovely and versatile which is the best. But most importantly, both are legit Tre Cute 💁🏼‍♀️

[@minaraex3]

I’m definitely a tray/mirror style type of girl! I do like the different looks but I’d change my mind too much 😂

[@jasminemedina7361]

Okay, maybe the greenery from the tree is my favorite, lol.....loved it all! Simple ideas with big impact

[@olivebranchcottage]

Haha your comments made me smile! 🥰

[@ashleywest726]

Love the remote basket idea!! Also... tchotchke ... what?? 🤯 who knew.

[@olivebranchcottage]

You should’ve seen how I typed it out to Google it 🤣

[@pattywilliams9582]

All 5 looks are cute! I've always wanted a curly willow and a Harry Lauder walking stick ! Such great interesting and fantastic textures to look at!

[@PtelAlax3]

looove look 2!! also the way the burnt orange and green looks with the white couch 🤩🤩

[@emilym6930]

I love look #4, especially the little bird! You are so creative. And I love that you used things you already have. Love the doggies too 💜

[@vintage_girl_diy5273]

Love that vintage mirror! They were all so cute!!

[@kellieadams122]

So creative! Love using books on a coffee table. Your dogs are gorgeous!!

[@isabellaroads2657]

So cute!! I love the corkscrew willow greenery with the clock 😍 would love to sit and drink coffee here!

[@marybelle]

The free greenery reminds me of your wall Christmas tree! It is common sense yet doesn't even cross my mind!

[@olivebranchcottage]

Awww you were around for the wall Christmas tree! Makes me smile 🥰

[@marybelle]

@@olivebranchcottage yes! Even before the tree I was here/on IG ☺ 🥰

[@jasminemedina7361]

The mirror was my favorite

[@Snydershouse]

This was so good!! Shopping your home is such a fun way to rethink and decorate your coffee table!

[@stacygillespie810]

Look #2, bc Millie steals the show🥰 Each coffee table styling, should incorporate a cute doggo, as an accent🤓 Doggos are LIFE🐶❤️

[@olivebranchcottage]

Totally agree! 🥰

[@nicoleludwig7919]

I’ve been on the hunt for a coffee table I can repurpose. I will definitely try out some these styling tips once I have one!

[@brookmanning8638]

#2 was my favorite but they are all super cute!

[@denisemoser7834]

very nice, your pupper is so sweet

[@Mynamecaler]

[@amylynn1345]

Love the topiary head! And the pothos plant! ❤️

[@BritCas]

I love Mirror image!! 💗🪞

[@abbystone2822]

I'm the same, if I can add more decor I will 😂 I love the 2nd look!

[@krystynaupchurch2651]

I love that mirror! They all look beautiful ❤️

[@kirstennapier9202]

I love 2 & 5! Simple & easily changeable, because we all know our looks don’t last long 😂😭

[@switching_geers4548]

Okay but the animal crossing like music in the background is a VIBE. Love it!!

[@olivebranchcottage]

Love me some animal crossing!! ❤️

[@allisonwagner3866]

So many cute options but I’m all about look #5!! Love it!!

[@lizmadrid6440]

[@heidifontes891]

Cute! Now I need a coffee table!

[@KM-zq6qf]

I have a vintage cedar chest/trunk as a coffee table too! It was passed down to my mom, then to me! Love this, thank you for all the ideas!😍

[@olivebranchcottage]

Oh I love how special that is! Mine is just from an antique store 😂

[@jaymekaiser7]

I have the same problem as you, I change my mind too quickly to settle on anything. Every new look you did I was like nope that’s my favorite 😂

[@jadedelong1999]

I love seeing how you decorate your home it gives me so much inspiration!

[@hillarysmith3739]

Tray cute was perfect!!

[@nataliegauche9306]

Ben and Millie are my most favorite but the mirror is my 2nd favorite

[@olivebranchcottage]

They’re my most favorite too 🥰

[@cathydamen3151]

I love the mirror too!

[@mariegile3156]

I love the mirror looks!!! My struggle with a coffee table is 5 seconds after I have it looking perfect, it gets stacked with kids stuff 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

[@katrinaloving6625]

Love the mirror

[@alysonwilliams8764]

I’m strugglinggggg to figure out what to do with my coffee table but the pothos with books are inspiring me🤩 my two fav things plants and reading!!

[@olivebranchcottage]

Mine too!! I lost my spark for reading in nursing school because all I did was read textbooks 😂 but I’ve gotten back into it over the past 2 years and it’s one of my favorite things!

[@sristipriya6807]

Yhis is way underrated. You are amazing ❤

[@shawnadiel1736]

[@leighdurphey639]

Look #4 is my favorite!!

[@laurenkelly1773]

Loving style 3 and 4!

[@katieargo3212]

I have a coffee table that I actually use as a tv stand! The top looks like this one! It was an old dresser that was cut down and distressed and the top was added! I love it! I have a golden pothos as well but she is so long I have to put her on top of a tall china cabinet! Love these ideas!

[@olivebranchcottage]

I love that! So fun to repurpose old pieces 🥰

[@elaineianniello3498]

Love them all but if I had to choose one I’d pick #4 by the way love the dogs!!
