Coffee Table Talk 2

Coffee table accessories follow my general rule (not broken this time) of making the best of the rule of threes. I usually, but not always, like three different objects on a surface.

I try to vary the heights and bring color at the same time. In this case, the soft fern juxtaposes the hard slick surface of the glass bowl and knot sculpture, which relates to the glass top surface of the table. All of these elements compliment the wall behind the sofa, which was crying for one large piece of colorful art. Just a few new pieces made for a transitional and alive living room.

Simply stated, sometimes the perfect solution to a large coffee table is one large vase with monochromatic bright color (as in the red poppies) to make the room come alive.

It shouldn't have to compete for attention with other objects. The poppies make a year round statement, but can be easily lifted out of the vase to make room for fall and holiday stems later.
