Spring Coffee Table Styling

Spring is here! What better way to celebrate than by rejuvenating new florals, pastel colors and seasonal accents throughout your MainVue Home?

There's no need to start from complete styling scratch any time one season rolls into the next. MainVue designers suggest working with some primary pieces that you currently have. From there, it's all about being resourceful.

In a MainVue great room, study or even signature outdoor room, our experts love to start with a good tray. It creates the foundation for any look you're trying to achieve.

Our tip: in placement, showcase a tray that follows the same shape of the coffee table, end table or shelf it rests upon. Complement a square coffee table with a square tray or a add dimension to a rectangular shelf with a similarly-shaped platter.

Next up: your fillers. This is a time to show off your alluring coffee table books. When stacked with covers up, books infuse new heights and dimensions to any surface. And such pops of color can't be beat! Consider revealing your oh-so-good taste by stacking a sampling of your favorite cookbooks atop your stunning quartzite MainVue supersized kitchen island.

Next, grab one of your favorite vases and fill it with fragrant or dazzling spring blooms. Global Views here offers various vase styles for flowers or just as an accent accessory. Treat yourself and your guess to this eye-full of texture in a MainVue foyer.

When it comes to flowers, this is your chance to show your personality. Don't be shy; go bold with pastels! MainVue interior designers get rave reviews for their arrangements of colorful tulips with pussywillow branches. It's smart to keep them all about the same height. Looking for faux flowers that will last until summer? Try the assortments at Michaels. When it's time for something natural, consider Trader Joe's or a fresh-from-the-fields cuts at a local Farmer's Market near many of MainVue Homes finest communities.

Boutiques, artisan shops and galleries burst with spring décor at this time of year. MainVue designers often turn to Pier 1 as a go-to stop for inspiration and fragrance. Our time-saving, all-season tip for such décor: select a few pieces aren't tied to just one holiday. Neutrals and light pastels that last into Memorial Day weekend give your décor a longer table-top or "shelf" life than bunnies and Easter eggs. After that, all you need is a fresh spring scent and your MainVue home is good to go until summer.
