Your coffee table décor looks dull and drab, that too in a matter of a few weeks. And the table decoration with flowers is so commonplace now, it’s just not enough to showcase your unique taste in home décor. Lastly, in our busy schedules, we are mostly short on time to stop, browse and shop the beauties of home decoration – such as table décor.
Don’t worry, I am in the same boat as you. That’s why I tried to think a little out of the box to fetch this list of items that are in your home right now and can be your fresh and simple table decorations. Let’s begin to decorate now.
The most read books
The easiest of all DIY table decorations is to arrange a stack of your favourite books, along with a couple of home décor items. The reader in you will love it. The sight of piled books is in some way securing to our reading temptations. It is also a simple way to remind yourself about the book you are yet to complete.
Traditional looms
Interested in table decoration with cloth – this is for you. Fetch inside your bed box or store unit, and pull out those shimmering or subtle dupattas that were worn only once or twice. Adorn your table with table cloths made from these traditional looms. The flavour and touch of local handicrafts makes your home belong to the cultural vibe.
Candles and incense
We all stock some candles for the romantic dinners; and also as a prep for the night long power cuts. Pull these out and showcase them on your table top. Arrange them on a tray to bring a soothing spa like effect.
Pot and plants
Not flowers, but pots and plants are the word for table decoration. You can choose to go larger than life by actually bringing a big pot from your garden to install on your table. Alternatively, you can choose pretty pocket-sized plants such as cactus or the colourful succulents.
