When I style a coffee table I actually don't think about what I do... I just play until it feels right.. I really had to put my thoughts together to explain this.. When creating your coffee table arrangement, its important to consider height, scale, and color... try choosing 3 objects or groupings of objects that go together in the room. If you have something that's to small, place it together with other objects by using a tray or books like I did in the picture above... |
 |
Again, I used three objects on the right and three objects on the left side, even though there are two books and one piece of coral it feels like one object within the three...creating balance and scale. I always like using coral in my displays... |

The larger glass container has larger shells in it...and the smaller one has smaller shells balancing out the three objects to the right... Triangular composition is created with the coffee table in the foreground and lamp table in the background. Triangle composition seems to work well in all design. I hope this all makes sense! |

Its hard to see this because of the mirror coffee table, but again 3 objects on the left...the three books and coral acting as one and the objects in the tray...even though there are 3 objects in the tray it becomes one... |
 |
I think odd numbers are more interesting... The rule of three is a guide line that can be bent or broken. |
 |
 |
I guess I like using trays |
 |
 |
Again I applied the same rule...3 objects on the left...even though the small plate has 3 candles it becomes one object.... The two books with the jar on top also act as one.... But, there are 9 objects on this table... |
 |
The rule of three is a simple way to add depth and visual interest to your home.... Rules are made to be broken and sometimes the scale of your arrangements don't always allow you to follow it... Take pictures of your arrangements, the camera will tell you if its in balance. I use this tool all the time... Don't forget to check out the other bloggers... |
