How to Organize Coffee Table Books and Trays | Pottery Barn

If you are looking for ways to make your coffee table look beautiful and organized, this video is just for you. In this video, Pottery Barn stylist and expert Nico De Swert shows how to make a coffee table look more organized and stylish.

Nico suggests being practical and sorting through what is already on the coffee table. For arranging books aesthetically, Nico urges piling books from large to small with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top like a pyramid. The use of trays is also recommended in this video. Using trays on the coffee table is a great way of organizing the coffee table space as a tray can hold all the knick-knacks like remote controls, ash trays etc. And trays can be easily removed to make space for when you are entertaining.

Another easy way of decorating and organizing the coffee table is by showcasing a collection. Nico has picked bottles from Pottery Barn and with some yellow tulips to match his decor; he creates a landscape on his coffee table. Lastly, Nico demonstrates how creating interesting groupings of color-coordinated objects to decorate the coffee table can add to the décor of your room.

Why not add a kitchen sink, too !? . The best coffee table is an empty one. . If you weren't selling all that stuff then you'd probably think that empty is best too. Note: one can't access any books that are stacked like that except for the top book ! Books ought to be in Dewey Decimal order, not color order ! " tonight I think I will read the chartreuse book" ... not bloody likely ! . . Cheers. from, del-boy.
