Step #1: Find something tall. This could be nearly anything, but some of the more popular choices are long, thin vases, wide and tall hurricane vases, and candle sticks.
Step #2: Add something unique. Find a small item that you just like. It could be a small statue, a ceramic bird, a mini teapot, or a simple crystal.
Step #3: Make it fresh. Fresh plants make a room feel alive, so add some fresh cut flowers in a vase or even a lush potted plant.
Step #4: Some light reading. Books and magazines have always been a staple on coffee tables, so find a few you love, stack them up neatly, and top them off with something decorative.
Remember that “formulas” are only good up to a point: decorating your home is about having the home you want. Every room in your home should reflect something that you like or a part of your personality and lifestyle.
Decorating is as much about being comfortable in your space as it is having a beautiful place for guests.
