Table by the sofa: 5 tips for cozy decorating

A sofa table is a small piece of furniture that is often found in a living room. As a rule, it is practically invisible, however, it plays a role, albeit not the main one, but definitely quite important. It is he who creates a special space around the sofa area, complements it and brings charm. However, it all depends on what will stand on it.

Often, you can see anything on the attached table: from baby rattles to a stack of old unnecessary newspapers. This is a completely wrong approach. This is how the feeling of disorder and chaos is created, and the room loses its attractiveness. Here are 5 classic combinations that will brighten up this simple piece of furniture, as well as the whole room.

Fruit + decorative element

Actually, the classics of the genre. Of course, it is better to put the fruit in a beautiful glass or porcelain dish. Wooden baskets look perfect, especially if the room is designed in an eco style. In this case, the following can act as a decorative element:

• intricate vase;
• artificial plant;
• a couple of books;
• living plant;
• lamp.

However, the fruit basket will look organic and solo. Be sure to wash your food so you can enjoy it whenever you want.

Sweets + decorative element

Here the situation is completely similar to the previous one. We take a wicker basket or glass candy bowl, fill it with various candies and jelly, put a small decor next to it - it's done!

True, this combination is not very suitable for a home with small children. Literally after 15 minutes, you can find out that there were no sweets on the table.

Houseplant + clock

And such a combination will be not only beautiful, but also very practical. The flower purifies the air, and the clock will help you to always control the time. Especially true for those who are always in a hurry somewhere. The accessory can be chosen both classic - without frills and pretentious elements, and unusual, for example, sand options.

As for a houseplant, tall ones, such as ficus, or flowering bushes, such as oxalis or anthurium, look more beautiful on a small table.

Lamp + decorative element

Any artificial light source will add coziness and harmony to the interior. And in the case of a table by the sofa, it should be a lamp. It is desirable that it be small, classical in shape and without expressive elements, since we will place some pretty decor next to it. However, if the interior allows it, you can also purchase an original device that will indicate the unusual taste of the owners and emphasize the whole situation.

By choosing such a combination, you can immediately, as they say, kill two birds with one stone - decorate the room and at the same time organize local lighting.

Books + houseplant

A light but effective combination that will always look sophisticated and laconic. Selected literature can reflect the interests and hobbies of the owners. And if the covers also fit into the color scheme of the entire room, then it is generally perfect.
In fact, any combination with books will decorate the interior by 100 percent. And it doesn't matter what will be next to them - an indoor flower or something else. You can put a stack of editions of various sizes, tie them with a beautiful tourniquet, and put a figurine, figurine or a large shell on top.

The most popular are books on interior design, painting, fashion, style, tourism, attractions.

What if you don't put anything?

Minimalism is at the peak of its popularity right now, and if you doubt that you can create something really attractive, then you can leave the table completely empty. The main thing is not to litter it with garbage and extraneous things, not to turn it into a hotspot. Believe me, this way it will look harmonious and neat.
