One thing that many clients struggle with is styling their coffee table or ottoman. I am here to give you some quick tips that will make styling your cocktail ottomans a breeze.

Start with a Tray

When choosing a tray try to mix different textures and colors from your other items.  The variation will make it look like a designer picked it out for you.  I picked up my tray from Hobby Lobby on 50% off!!! Gotta love a sell. Here is the link for it, but online you have to buy a set of two. I bought mine in the store and was able to buy a single.  

 Next add some Candle holders

Candles add a sense of romance to the room.  Plus they can be a fun pop of color to match with the seasons. They are great for entertaining. And who doesn’t like an inviting scent in their room?  I picked up my candle holder and candles at Hobby Lobby also.  The boxwood wreaths are some that I sell.  They are a must have item, because they can be used in so many different ways.

Finally add a Plant

Adding a plant will bring life to the room. For my ottoman I mixed a vintage bowl with balls, bark and succulents.  As you all know I love blue willow and these blue and white balls are perfect to coordinate with the style.  The driftwood I found from an antique store at the beach.  And I always mix succulents in my bowl arrangements.  All of these items can be found on my online store.
