The Heady Aroma Of Coffee Table

The humble coffee table is a ubiquitous part of most homes which is often overlooked. But by putting in some thought and planning, the coffee table can transform your living room and be an expression for your personal style. Here are some of our top tips and ideas for you to get inspired with.

A glass top table: Our city lives and apartment homes often restrict the amount of space we actually have to experiment with. A glass top coffee table does not take up much visual space and gives your room a light and airy feeling. It also puts the focus on the accessories on the table. Try glass top tables with a polished stainless steel base or one with a curved oakwood base.

Statement pieces: Coffee tables can be made to be an anchor for its space and all the other furniture is arranged around it. Statement pieces are instant conversation starters and a distinctive coffee table is what you need here. A one of a kind tiered glass and steel coffee table gives a contemporary artistic look. Try a stunning clock coffee table where the table top doubles as a clock.

Colour schemes: Tables don’t have to be only brown and black. Try matching the colour of the table top with the furnishings around the room like the sofa, cushions or the curtains. This can help in giving your living room symmetry and balance. A bright, gold finish coffee table looks great when paired with a lush velvet fabric sofa with matching gold plated legs and gold cushions.

Accessories: To take your coffee table up a notch, it needs some stylish accessories. And accessories are also a great way to express your personal tastes, styles, and interests to the world. Show off your nautical interests with a brass decorative ship. Trays are a great way to  organize smaller pieces, like decorative ashtrays or a mixed metal decorative leaf sculpture.

Materials: The material of the coffee table can help determine the kind of overall look that the room will have. Solid wood, brown leather upholstery, black marble can create a warm and cozy feel to the room. On the other hand, glass, stainless steel, white marble or mirror finishes can make the space feel lighter

Geometric patterns: Geometric patterns and slimline base designs provide a contrast to solid blocks on top. Try coffee tables which have clean lines and sleek bases for a minimalist, modern look.

The living room is where your home makes its first impression to your guests. A good coffee table chosen with your personal style sets the mood for the rest of the room and the home. Make it inspiring.

Mixing different styles, textures, and looks is a great way to make your home stand out and showcase your individual style. Taking styling inspiration from different eras of time can help create a unique home

Mixing different styles, textures, and looks is a great way to make your home stand out and showcase your individual style. Taking styling inspiration from different eras of time can help create a unique home. Whether it is the ornate styles of the Victorian periods, or the geometric Art Deco styles, all are welcome into the modern, 21st century home.  Designing and setting up your entire home around a single theme can seem very difficult, and even scary. That is why it is important to remember to have fun with it. Here are some of our top tricks to mix antique and contemporary styles of home decor to create a chic look for any home.  a. “Vintage Looking” furniture: Try out pieces for your home which have a timeworn or antique look. This is usually called a “patina” finish and can be used with coffee tables for the living room, dining tables, or even paintings with a vintage finish. This adds an interesting layer to an otherwise modern home. b. Mixing different textures: Vintage pieces often come with finishes like leather, weathered wood or tarnished metals. To offset this bold look, try pairing it with soft textures through rugs and cushions, luxurious fabric sofas and lounge chairs.  c. Statement pieces: Transforming your entire home with vintage pieces can be a daunting task. Instead, try out a statement piece in an antique style. Statement pieces can become the star of any room, and you can build your entire home decor style around it. Consider this Vintage style trunks upholstered in leather or faux-leather, complete with brass trimmings, leather fasteners, and gold plated rivets, modelled into a coffee table, an  end table or a bar cabinet can become instant conversation starters. A classic accent chair with tufted fabric and wooden legs can be a simple, yet transforming addition to your living room. A Victorian style chandelier is a stunning piece which can become the focus of your home. Add a vintage touch to your bedroom with a unique vintage style ottoman. d. Combining Vintage and Modern Pieces: An easy way to make any room look professionally designed and styled, is to use contrasting pieces together to create a balanced look. Try pairing a vintage-style dining table with contemporary chairs, or a classic wooden coffee table with gold details with a chic stone and metal lamp.  These tips are easy to use to instantly transform your home. Use the latest home decor trends to draw inspiration and then personalize it to create your own style. Mixing and matching different styles and looks can make a home feel warm, personal and uniquely stylish.

FESTIVE FUNDAMENTALS FOR YOUR HOME

When you are from India, you live from festivals to festivals. The great thing about diversity is being included in all the cheer and expressing the joy and spirit when the next festival is upon us. Make your home throb with that fervour, use your furniture as the new language of celebration. Diwali is, of course, the Indian Christmas and the right occasion for creating resplendence. A decorative chandelier will echo the Festival of Lights theme well, being the centrepiece of the home. Or small accent lights, stylish floor lamps and lanterns will beautifully announce, Diwali is in the air. If you are from the East and Durga Puja is your thing, or from the West when you dance your nights away during Navratri, it’s the time for a makeover. Hang a metal art on the wall and balance it with a sleek decorative console, and you have an elegant head-turner. An accent chair, a coffee or an end table, a pouffe ,a candle stand, a standing lamp are pieces that make great for yourself, your home, or your loved ones on any occasion. Keep a list of all the occasions and festivities that happen around you and then surprise with statement pieces. We are in November now, and preparations and plans for the Christmas and New Year are in full swing. Have you considered a Bar Cabinet and Accessories? This is the time for evenings, parties, barbecues and merriment. Like Diwali, a decorative ceiling light will do wonders to greet your guests in the evening and smoothen conversations. A luxury dining set is appropriate and desirable on any occasion. Wheel in the food and spirit on trolleys and bar carts and hear the oohs and aahs. The Christmas Turkey to the Diwali sweets to the Eid spread – let your guests savour the aroma and speak about your sophisticated and warm hospitality – when served on a beautiful marble top dining set, or a dark smoked glass table, or a stainless steel art piece. A walnut wooden bed set in veneer finish on an anniversary can overwhelm. If you want to tone it down, a dresser with a mirror is a perfect intimate gift for your better half. Celebrations must be king-size! The warmer months will joyously start with the Holi and lead on to the Eid and the all the Indian new years. Give a rousing welcome to each of them, by inviting people over and displaying that one special decor thing in your home, which will be appropriate for the occasion. Creatively placed, you can attach meaning in your special way to everything at home. It shows your love for taste and being a home proud host. A sofa with calligraphic embroidered cushions may portray Eid, colourful candles in Candle Stands can symbolise Holi and so on.Festivals and festivities are your excuses for celebrating happiness. It’s also your chance to show off your creativity with home furniture and decor and resonate with the vibe in the air.

Dining table sets. A visual feast

A dining table in any household is the centre for many kinds of activities. From meals to a work table, to a chat place or even an upright book reading station. Food is eaten, displayed and prepared on dining tables in most small to big sized apartments. A report published on dining tables claimed that an average Dining Table in its life span witnesses around 2,400 family meals! So the dining table is a workhorse, but it also needs to be a showpiece. The standard Dining table is 30 inches or 75 centimetres in height although some tables may offer a little more (76-77 cms).  But high tables with tall chairs are also seen and used. Modular Dining tables with extended leaves may make for an ideal investment if you often have guests coming over. The staple dining table is rectangular but square and round dining tables are often used to save space and minimise visual blocking. While it is a functional piece, it occupies a significant space, so make sure it goes well with the rest of the room or the home. Choose from ornate, minimalistic, sleek or art pieces -- both in form and build. The wooden is classic, but fusion is contemporary and high chic. The combinations are endless and are all part of latest trends -- Steel and Glass, Marble, Gold plated Stainless Steel. The big consideration is seating capacity, and the thumb rule is, buy for your max usage pattern. 4 seaters, 6 seaters, 8 seaters are determined by your dining space too, just remember to not make your set not overpowering. Do your rounds of luxury furniture stores and browse dining table sets online to understand the breathtaking variety and options available today. The dining chairs are integral to a set and that requires careful calibration and attention. Are you looking for a cool fabric, fashionable and easy-maintenance faux-leather or stylish velvet to seat yourself? Obviously, they must complement your dining table and the decor. With the selection wide open, you need a curated choice and a handpicked collection. Like in Furniturewalla FW, who caters to discerning buyers with design consciousness and taste, but offering the products at value prices. Enhance the ambience of your home.

Is your coffee table as great as the coffee you serve?

Coffee tables are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in your living room. A stylish surface for your paper mail tray, a space for the TV remote, 

to keep the finger food within easy reach, and of course to rest your big coffee mug. But coffee tables have so much more potential than just be a 

placement space. 

 With coffee tables trending fast, they are now available in different builds and designs. Depending on your decor and taste you can choose from a 

chunky wooden piece to sleek metal frames to shiny metal sculptures, 

floating art pieces made of glass or with a cool, bold marble top. The contemporary coffee tables come in mind-boggling shape choices from squares, rectangles and circles or asymmetric forms too. 

 It helps to know a few placement and styling tips to choose the coffee table 

for your home 

 ● Anaesthetic coffee table should not be more than two thirds the 

length of  your sofa or chaise 

●Place your coffee table between 18 to 20 inches away from the 

seating so that it’s easy to reach out but not cramped to bang your 

knees against 

●The height of the coffee table ideally should be anywhere in between 

12 to 20 inches depending on the height of the sofa set in your drawing-room. Too low or too high makes it lose its purpose  

●For smaller homes, look for a coffee table with built-in storage or 

storage shelf 

●A coffee table is way more flexible and versatile as compared to the 

centre table. Use it as a console against the wall, make use of its 

convenient low height and use as an ottoman or convert it into a TV 

unit. 

The coffee table is a piece of over-friendly furniture. Invite one to your home and see it grow upon you.

The smart use of a few key pieces can do the trick for you. Add flair to your home with statement pieces along with fun accessories and décor pieces.

Forget about what you’ve been told about dream makeovers! It’s time to shift your attention from centrepieces to statement pieces. Eye-catching décor pieces placed in the foreground can make a statement too. Combine warm tones, attractive colour schemes & designer décor elements to create a new avatar for your home.

In every room, the colour ratio should be split between walls (60%), upholstery (30%) and accessories (10%). If you’re not keen on playing with the walls & changing the upholstery, start small with accessories. Go for an easy and affordable way to bring colour to your space. Designer cushion covers add a spin of style to your room and brilliantly complement luxury furniture. Try placing leather, silk, suede or velvet cushions that add an aura of luxe to your room.

If you don’t want to go through the trouble of long term renovation, play with wall décor. Introduce elements that will need little effort but will make a significant impact.  Mirrors are a decorator’s secret weapon. They make spaces appear larger, multiply light and duplicate views. Use the advantage of their dressy and dramatic appeal to adorn your walls.

Whether your style is rustic, modern, traditional or somewhere in between, wall paintings add character to your wall. Wall art never dominates a room’s narrative. Instead, it displays a composition that creates movement and depth in space. Your personal touch turns your house into a home. Bring your memories to life, with a beautiful display of pictures. Exhibit these pictures in your decor using photo frames. Build a picture gallery or place it on a table. Pictures add a casual vibe to your space while maintaining a visual consistency. A chic table setting is attractive and invites conversation. Brilliant table accessories can transform your dining room and make even the most casual dinner feel special. Lanterns and wine chillers are enough to set the perfect mood for any occasion.

Let your space play a host to warm gatherings, lavish events & elegant cocktail hours. Embark on this décor journey and introduce a signature style for your home with these timeless yet glamorous décor pieces.
