A farmhouse coffee table is more than just a stylish piece of furniture or a place to throw your feet up. They are also great for storage, to show off your personal decor style, and to craft a space full of function and comfort. Perhaps most importantly, though, a coffee table anchors the design of a room. It acts as a piece to position the rest of your furniture around, which centers and defines the space. This will help any home look and feel its best but is especially important in open-concept spaces.

Another fabulous thing about farmhouse coffee tables is that there is a style for everyone and every budget. Those craving that signature rustic look will adore finishes like reclaimed barn wood and distressed paint. While those who have dreams of hosting cocktail night may prefer a large mirrored table that makes wiping spills a cinch. Shift over to the shape of the table and you have just as much variety—you can even get really creative and reuse a credenza or trolley cart!

Keep scrolling to get a glimpse of all these styles of farmhouse coffee tables and tons more. Your coffee mug will be thankful for such a stylish resting place!

When adding a coffee table that is noticeably darker or lighter than the rest of your decor, try also adding accessories in a similar tone to ensure everything blends. In this case, the horse painting and duo of dark frames mimic the table’s brown hue. It is also the perfect example of how big a coffee table should be—around the same height as your sofa and approximately 2/3 as wide.

Double the tiers mean double the decor possibilities! Choosing a table with extra space at the bottom means you will have more room to show off your style with accessories.

It isn’t just bold paint colors that can change the look and feel of a coffee table—wood stain colors can too.

To maximize walking space and eliminate the risk of bumping into sharp corners, go for a round farmhouse coffee table. They are fairly common and great for tucking alongside sectionals. The open metal base of this coffee table gives it a light and airy feel, ensuring this setup doesn’t look too crowded. Additionally, a wire-based coffee table tends to be lighter to move—perfect if you like to rearrange your furniture a lot.

11 Style Choices That Will Look Out-Of-Date in 5 Years

We’ve all done it: seen the latest kitchen trend or style and immediately started dreaming of how we could update our own home to incorporate this latest fad. While some updates may be quick and easy fixes, such as a new lighting fixture or cabinet pulls, others may be much more expensive and time-consuming. But have you paused to consider the implications of your design ideas in the future?

It’s no secret that styles, tastes, and popular interior design fashions change regularly and quickly. What may look incredible on social media or the latest episode of TV may end up dating your own. When that happens, you’re faced with an unpleasant choice: live with your design for the foreseeable future or undertake another costly and lengthy renovation (forbes.com/home-improvement/kitchen/kitchen-remodel-cost). Neither is very appealing, especially if you recently underwent a kitchen overhaul in the not-so-distant past. Instead, choose timeless and enduring pieces that can be updated with simple accessories and decorations.

If you’re wondering what those dated designs might be, you’re in luck! Our readers have gathered their thoughts about recent trends and are here to share their ideas on what will make your kitchen look dated in five years. Read on for all their insights!

How to Pair Blinds and Curtains Together for an Elegant Look

We don’t often think about combining blinds and curtains, especially when one or the other will suffice. But believe it or not, the benefits of pairing both window coverings together may be enough to convince you otherwise! For example, did you know that closing both blinds and curtains can help you conserve energy by retaining heat in the winter and cool air in the summer (https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/energy-efficiency/beat-the-heat-with-window-coverings-a9…,heat%20loss%20in%20the%20winter.)? Or that curtains or blinds alone may not be enough for complete privacy?

If you’re surprised by these facts, you may want to investigate for yourself. Hang some Roman bamboo shades for a bohemian look with a natural vibe. Or select sleek, neutral shades for a timeless design. Mount curtains for added texture and movement and soften the look of the light in your home. Layer both for ultimate privacy and light control, and see how your home is transformed. If you don’t believe us, check out our gallery below, and you’ll see it yourself!

A bathroom is a place for rejuvenation. It’s where you get ready to take on the day and unwind at night. However, clutter and bright bursts of pattern and color can impact your mood and actually make you feel drained rather than recharged.

These distraction-free zones are typically pretty minimal.

A minimalist approach when decorating and organizing your bathroom can help you cultivate a sanctuary within your home. We’ve compiled this gallery of minimalist bathroom inspiration to help get your ideas flowing. You’ll find tips on how to stow away your toiletries, choose tile, and add just the right amount of decor and accessories. If you’re ready to design your own zen retreat, read on for our best ideas!
