Here are a few such ideas to help inspire you to decorate your small centre table.
Maintain Balance
It would make your table look quite cluttered when you arrange an extensive collection of several knick-knacks. Instead, choose large items that appear heavy and cumbersome to decorate the small corner table. This would maintain the balance of the sizes and complement the variation among display items.
Stick to Your Palette
It is always a great idea to stick to the room’s colour palette while decorating a small centre or corner table. It makes the style of the room appear cohesive overall. Choose your décor pieces wisely to complement the accent of the living room where you locate your table.
For instance, a room with white pillows, blue and white striped throw blanket on white chairs would be highlighted even better with a minimalistic décor piece on the table. It can be fresh flowers or lush leaves.
Display Some Fresh Florals
Fresh flowers always make a difference in a space. If your living room could use an elevation of style and elegance, you can get subtle colours of flowers. However, if you are unable to purchase fresh flowers, there are fake flowers in the market. They would do the job fine. It would be the cherry topping if you already own a vase to hold the bouquet of flowers. You can refer to some fresh floral ideas for home décor in Singapore online for inspiration.
