Hello, I'm Jennifer and this video is
going to be all about how to accessorize
a coffee table, so stay tuned.
So we're gonna shoot this video in the
store today, JD's All About Home, and it's
going to be pretty easy because we have
several coffee tables in the store. I
know you guys are going to ask about
some of the accessories I'm using and I
will let you know which ones we will
have on the online store but let's get
started with this first coffee table.
This is a big, round, beautiful coffee
table. Now I like to keep these pretty
minimal when I'm decorating and that
includes accessorizing. So when I have a
big round table, I'm not going to do two,
three things. I'm usually going to just
try to do one thing in the middle but I
want that one thing in the middle to be
to scale with the coffee table. Now, this
cloche is a perfect fit on here and
here's one of the things I like about it.
Because this is a darker coffee table,
I like the cloche wood being lighter so
it pops off up in the coffee table. So
another thing about this cloche is the
greenery inside. So I put a big candle in.
Now the same way I say I like to have
the light wood on top of the dark wood
because you want contrast you want
things to pop. Let me show you how this
looks if you don't add the green. See?
It's kind of boring. So adding a green
candle ring on top of that candle gave
some contrast, some color and made the
entire cloche beautiful.  So this cloche I
do have online. For another idea for a
round table that's a little less
expensive than that cloche, is to find
either a black charger, I found a black
tray, again that kind of pops off of the
table itself and then we're gonna add
just a little bit of vase filler. This is
sand with black and brown in it. I'm not
going to
add a ton. I'm gonna fill that tray up and then
what you want to do is just fill it with
some candles of varying heights
and now you can see just how simple and
elegant and beautiful that is. All right
let's talk about a rectangular coffee
table. Most of the time I either kind of
copy the same thing that I do with a
round table where I'm just gonna do one
thing in the middle or I'm gonna do two
things. Now in this coffee table I have a
very fun tic-tac-toe game. Which is super
fun if you have kids, grandkids, I think
it's just a really neat idea. Something
else too, whenever I'm designing most of
the time that I'm putting things on
accessorizing for coffee tables, if it's
a family with kids and you need things
off pretty quickly, I like to have things
that are easy to lift off and get out of
the way in case they're coming to eat
dinner in front of the TV or to play
their own games. The other thing is on
the other side I, of course, I like to
have some greenery. So I found this very
lightweight paper mache bowl and I
filled it with these green orbs. Both the bowl,
orbs, and all of this is on our
online store. Here's another rectangular
coffee table and I'm gonna do one thing
in the middle. How fun and easy is this?
Find your favorite wreath. Place it on
the coffee table and I found these old
reclaimed candlesticks, all different
sizes. Do the same size candles on top
though, that kind of keeps it uniform but
how super easy is this?  You've got your
greenery, you've got your romantic light,
the greenery pops off the top of the
table, it's absolutely perfect. This is
another example of where I'm going to
decorate on two sides of the coffee
table. I'm just a candle girl so I'm
gonna have candlesticks in almost every
design but what I love about these is,
they are super heavy so if you are a
family with kids or puppies or cats that
run around, they're not going to knock
these off. These are under $50. I love
them because also they have a great
patina of a weathered look. Then, on the
other side I just have two of my
favorite coffee books. Maddy Lounging On
Things, this is the sweetest book ever.
And then City Farmhouse Style. Just books
that make me happy.  Again, simple and easy.
One of the things that I really like to
do on a coffee table is to have a tray
and it's kind of a dual purpose. One,
it gives the edges for everything we're
gonna add inside but what I like about
it is if you're a busy family and you
need this coffee table, you just lift the
entire tray off and it makes it super
easy. Now, again I'm going to decorate in
threes. So, what I have chosen for this
coffee table is pretty simple.  These
little birds, they come in a
set of four. A simple candle, a good
smelling candle, and then this is one of
our vases that I love a lot because it's
got a hammered metal around it and then
just find yourself some green bushes and
just set them inside to give yourself a
little bit of height and a little bit of
color. Let me show you a few other photos of
some coffee tables that I designed for
clients to give you just a little bit
more inspiration.
Well, I hope these ideas are something
