For the month of May 2026, we are looking at how to style different shapes of coffee tables. Round, rectangular and square. On Instagram, I show a detailed concept board on how to arrange these items

Oval coffee table
Round coffee table
I like that it comes as a set of three. You can spread them out or group them depending on what the room needs. It gives you flexibility without buying extra pieces.
Example 1: Flower vase
This is more of a personality piece. It’s not trying to blend in, it’s meant to stand out a bit
Example 2: decorative box
The gold finish works if your space needs a bit of contrast. Especially against darker tones, it catches light and lifts the whole setup
Stud Taper Holder - Set of 2
This feels a bit more like a statement piece. The fuller shape gives it presence without needing anything else around it
Lily Arrangement with Vase
It feels more composed than smaller arrangements. You place it once and it carries the space on its own
Double Stem Phalaenopsis Silk Orchid Arrangement
The white vase keeps it clean and simple. It blends in easily, which makes styling around it a lot easier
Artificial Phalaenopsis Arrangement
You can stack them or spread them out depending on what you need. That flexibility makes it easier to style around other pieces

I'd recommend using the smaller box for the coffee table and the bigger one for the bedroom or console table.
