Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Arrange the Elements on My Coffee Table?

When displaying items on your coffee table, it’s best to start with a focal point, which will be the main anchor for your decorations. An excellent example is a large vase, decorative tray, or basket.

Then place your other elements around your focal point. Be sure to vary the sizes and shapes of your accessories to create balance. Nothing makes for a cluttered surface faster than an entirely large or entirely small collection of knick-knacks.

Then create depth and texture. You can vary heights by stacking books or using tall decor, and you can mix textures by opting for different materials like hard metal or soft clothes.

You can also mix colors by picking different flowers, greens, or different kinds of herbs. 

What Are the Characteristics of Farmhouse Style?

Farmhouse style embraces simplicity, practicality, and a good blend of modern and traditional elements.

When you think of farmhouse style, you will always see rustic elements like reclaimed wood, distressed finishes, and vintage-inspired decorations.

Neutral color palettes, cozy textiles, and natural materials are often used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

When it comes to decorations, this usually means accessories and decorations made of natural materials like wood, metal twine, straw, burlap, and glass. Other popular elements are galvanized tins, distressed wooden trays, vintage pitchers, and mason jars.
