To add variety to the table decoration, you can opt for a seasonal decoration. You can easily make many of them yourself at home.

Fruit bowls with seasonal fruit in them are also a wonderful summer decoration . The main thing is that you use summery colors that harmonize with the rest of your interior. Pastel tones like pink or green are particularly great. Scented candles are also allowed, but please not with too heavy a scent, but with light, fresh and powdery scents, suitable for the bright season.
The autumn decoration on your table could consist of a specially carved pumpkin, for example. If that is a bit too much work for you, you can use dried flowers such as pampas grass, for example.

Coffee table trend decoration 2022: colours, materials and shapes

Especially side tables or coffee tables made of metal with rough surfaces are very popular this year. They complement the furnishings in a minimalist way, but can mutate into an absolute eye-catcher in the room with table decorations. Vases and sculptures made from organic shapes, for example, immediately draw the eye to the coffee table. In terms of color, muted colors such as beige or cream are very popular this year. These can be perfectly combined with decoration in concrete tones. For example, mix materials by choosing a contrast between glossy and matt. Make sure not to integrate more than a maximum of two color families in order to keep the decoration looking coherent. The combination of natural materials such as wood, pampas grass, feathers and linen with metallic accessories also works perfectly. You can also use contrasts in color. Here we recommend, for example, the noble combination of black and white or the somewhat softer combination of gray and pastel shades such as pink.
