Decorative Trays
Table trays aren’t just for serving, this can be used to place other decorative pieces on the coffee table for show. Decorative trays will have your table décor more in place and organized, rather than your decorative pieces spread out randomly. This works best especially if you are planning to add candles to your coffee table.

Flowers
If you do prefer adding to your vase, flowers will bring elegance to your table. Whether you prefer real or faux flowers, floral décor automatically freshens up the view of the coffee table.

Candles
If you prefer having a relaxing vibe in your living room while also providing a wonderful fragrance, candles are the perfect option to add to your coffee table.
