Keep it simple though — one stunning piece
for impact or a few smaller curios of varying
heights and textures
for visual and tactile
interest are all that's needed • Glass - topped tables that have a plain base can be accessorized by placing items under the table to be viewed from above • Leave room on the surface
for setting down drinks or small plates • Store newspapers and magazines in a basket underneath the table or nearby to keep the surface uncluttered, or consider a trunk - style table that can store any number of things — from extra cushions and throws to books, magazines and board games • Keep the space between the sofa and table to a minimum, otherwise the table will appear to float in the middle of the room.
