Best Tea Table Ideas for Your Home
A tea table is not just any other table. Yes, it exists for a function. It is, after all, a place to put your drinks on, keep your remote or books on or place bits and bobs that are too pretty to be kept out of sight in boxes or drawers. But you can look at it as an opportunity to create a focal point in your living space.
It is the age of Instagram where we strive to create a perfect world virtually with stunning filters. So, why not create an Instagram-worthy real world and strike a beautiful balance between stylish and functional when it comes to home décor? We have curated the ultimate guide for you on how to master the art of tea table décor.
To start with, you don’t need to invest in a new table to create a statement. You can give new life to your precious table which has now become dull due to erosion of paints. If you rolled your eyes and smirked reading that, read again. Always keep in mind that when creating a tea table display, do not obstruct the view of the people sitting on either side of the table. Go for the 360-degree approach where it is placed in the centre of the room and is visible to everyone from all angles and looks good too.
A timeless way to adorn a tea table is with fresh flowers, books, magazines, coasters and trays. In fact, a good tray is one of the most underrated tea table essentials. Trays keep things organised on the tea table, be it books, candles or other objects, so make sure to invest in a good one. This is an ideal product to enhance your tea table and the wooden pieces that complement it. It is a beautiful blend of quality and safety, perfect for health-conscious consumers!
A little greenery goes a long way, so if you like greenery, you can bring them indoors by keeping a bonsai or a succulent like pencil cacti or branches of plants like cherry blossoms or eucalyptus on the tea table. Set it right in the centre for an organic and fuss-free way to infuse life into a space. Make sure that it works proportionately to your tea table.
If you fancy vintage pieces, you can place an antique lantern that looks visually appealing and is functional too. You can create an ensemble with candlesticks for a lovely sensory appeal. Furthermore, candlesticks add dimension to a flat surface, making it a good idea to display them on a tea table.
If minimalism is your style, you can display a single stunning sculpture, a wooden statue, a stylish bowl or a stand-alone vase on the tea table.
If you believe in flaunting all your favourite décor pieces, group them together in a cluster and display it on the tea table. However, make sure that you use items of the right size as it matters when it comes to tea table styling. To give your tea table a balanced look, display items of varying sizes. This works if you want all the items placed on the table to be noticed, which is not the case when the items are at the same eye level. Composition is key. Visualise how all the items you place will look together as a whole. The idea is to make the entire display look like one unit even though they seem unconnected. Make sure you understand that placement of the décor elements on the tea table matters.
