Between attempting to recreate the dreamy ‘je ne sais quoi’ of those flooding our Instagram feeds and striking the balance between prettiness and practicality, figuring out how to take a coffee table from ‘good’ to ‘great’ can feel like a tricky space to navigate – but it doesn’t have to be.

According to Tracey Craig, founder and creative director of boutique property styling and design studio Bungalow Home, the secret to stepping your coffee tablescape up several notches is to focus on its core components.

“Taking your coffee table from good to ‘next level-wow’ is pretty easy to do – simply by paying attention to how you place items, the texture, scale and height of those items, and how they all work together to create a seamless look that complements the overall scheme of your room,” she tells Bed Threads Journal.
