One of my favorite things to do on an interior styling project are the coffee tables. I set out to style this Noguchi coffee table 3 different ways. Here is the 3rd way... My inspiration for this one was a well traveled photographer. I incorporated a variety of elements from his travels. This color palette of browns, black & naturals was the goal. The Crate & Barrel suede area rug gave us our different neutral color choices to draw from. The Sleek black lamp can be pivoted to any point of the table for light. I then chose this cool brown vintage camera which was a NY antique shop find. I always love one or a few good coffee table books. In this set-up, I chose 5 different photo books laid out on the table without trying to overwhelm it. I created a table tray utilizing a round ceramic decorative plate from his travels through Mexico. This truly grounds & organizes items like the diptyque candle, modern round vase & matches I chose. The other tray holds a vibrant succulent plant along side a feather & horn-ended magnifying Lupe. Highlighting a coin engraved saying “Let’s Stay In”. :-) Adjacent to the tray, I put some other personal mementos scattered about like a cognac colored leather frame with his wedding photo in it. Also a monogrammed notepad that is propped up on a African inspired tray. The piece of drift wood was found on Zuma beach & it just added a natural architectural element to the whole look. Styling Tip: A NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTES CAN BE LAYERED W/ TEXTURE & SHAPES TO CREATE MORE INTEREST. #styledbypiamalatesta #coffeetablestories #neutralcolorpalette #stylingcoffetables #interiorstylinginspo #casitaola #noguchitable #worldphotographer #coffeetablebooks #RichardAvedonportraits #richardavedon #robertfrank #theamericans #drivebyshootings #davidbradford #Magnum #Russellmiller #photographersonphotography # Nathanlyons #styledbypiamalatesta (at Point Dume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N02NnjEyi/?igshid=t0717tjllfc7
