4 Additional Decor Pieces to Decorate a Coffee Table
While artificial flower arrangements can catch anyone’s attention on their own, pairing them with other decorative pieces takes the whole setup to the next level.
Here are 4 simple but stylish decor elements that work beautifully alongside your faux flowers.
1. Candles
Nothing sets the mood like a softly flickering candle. Pairing fake flowers with candles adds a warm, cosy touch to your space.
When positioning, be sure to place your candles at a safe distance to make sure you don’t melt your beautiful faux flowers by accident!
Styling tip: Use a scented candle in a glass jar to add both fragrance and elegance to your coffee table.
2. A Stack of Books
Books aren’t just for reading—they make excellent decorative pieces too. Stack a few aesthetically pleasing books, or just grab your favourites, and place your artificial flower arrangements on top of them.
Styling tip: Choose books with neutral or complementary covers to match the colour scheme of your flowers.
3. A Decorative Tray
Trays are a game-changer when it comes to coffee table styling. They help organise your decor and give your table a cohesive look. Plus, they ensure everything you put on your coffee table stays in one place.
A simple round or rectangular tray can hold your fake flowers that look real, candles, and a few small trinkets, making everything look well-curated.
Styling tip: Go for a wooden tray for a rustic feel or a marble tray for a modern touch.
4. Small Decorative Figurines
Little accents like figurines, sculptures, or even decorative stones can add personality to your coffee table, and by proxy, your room. We recommend arranging 1-2 figurines in varying heights and proportions, on either side of your artificial flower.
Or, you can create a cluster of 3 and position your figurines close to the flower. Choose figurines that complement the faux flowers you’ve chosen. For example, you can get a small marble bust and pair it with a glass vase with fake flowers.
Styling tip: Place the figurines on a decorative tray so they can easily be moved when needed. Leave space for everyday use.
Finishing Thoughts
Decorating your coffee table with artificial flowers is a simple yet effective way to elevate your space.
Bold burgundy grass, butterfly orchids, and peace lilies are our favourite fake flowers that look real, and we don’t doubt they’ll add the beauty you’re after.
And don’t forget—pairing your faux flower arrangements with candles, books, trays, and decorative figurines makes the setup even more stunning.
So go ahead, get creative, and turn your coffee table into a stylish centrepiece with these gorgeous artificial flower arrangements.
