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.
