 Coffee tables are often the centerpiece of the living room. We arrange seating around the coffee table. We use it to hold essentials such as books and drink coasters. It becomes an impromptu appetizer buffet when it’s time to entertain.

Coffee table featuring sculptural decor
Transparent glass is another way to go, whether the glass is colorful or clear. Try filling a clear container with sculptural objects (or one artful item) for an alluring centerpiece.

Minimal coffee table decor
Sometimes our first instinct is to cover large surfaces with an array of items. Yet lots of “stuff” can make even the largest of spaces seem cluttered. Try leaving a portion of your coffee table exposed for a clean look.

Coffee table with a sleek vase
Tempted to display your entire vase collection? Start with just one. You may decide that one is all it takes!

Floral arrangement on a coffee table
For those who prefer a bountiful yet tidy look, try placing one bloom-filled vase on your coffee table. The look is abundant yet contemporary, especially if you choose interesting flowers for your arrangement!

Dramatic coffee table decor
A grouping of items gets a big dose of drama by varying the height of the items on display. Below we see a collection of interesting, elegant items, including a trio of striking black vases.

Monochromatic coffee table style
A tone-on-tone strategy is unexpected. By matching the decor to the color of the coffee table, items stand out simply because the concept is interesting. Plus, the look is anything but cluttered, as both decor and table make a unified statement.

Decorate your home for Thanksgiving with this ideas and have a delightful day.
Creative candleholders
Use repurposed candleholders for easy fall displays of small pumpkins and gourds. Look for candleholders in varying heights at a garage sale or antiques store, then spray-paint black for a unified look.
Harvest mantel
The focal point of this harvest-inspired mantel is a collection of inexpensive melamine plates attached to the wall with easy-to-use adhesive disc hangers. Casually arrange an assortment of pumpkins and gourds between two bundles of dried wheat on the mantel. Include a blackboard or two where you can write an inspirational quote or even your Thanksgiving menu!
Hues of autumn
Footed glass containers show off ribbons, beans and nuts in fall hues. The copper tray adds shiny sophistication and makes the arrangement portable.
Nut votive
Place these pretty votives on your Thanksgiving dining table, mantel or coffee table. Just gather unshelled nuts and layer in a glass cup around a small candle. Save a few nuts to scatter near your display.
Natural display
A pumpkin "basket" makes an imaginative centerpiece for a fall table.
Hollow out the pumpkin, then place a block of wet floral foam inside. Position a pillar candle in the foam and surround with fall blooms and berries to complete this DIY fall decoration.
Nature's artistry wreath
Embellish a square store-bought magnolia wreath with color-coordinated real and faux materials, including twigs, seedpods, nuts, berries, wheat and leaves.

It's not just the heat that makes an indoor fire so enticing - the smell, the sound, the warm soft light; it is almost impossible to replicate the atmosphere conjured by a real, roaring log fire.
Fireplaces evolving for centuries at the forefront of technology and design, their decoration becoming increasingly elaborate, their materials more luxurious. The carved fireplaces to be found in grand historical houses are often mind bogglingly impressive in their scale and opulence.
Now of course, in the age of central heating, their functionality is no longer a necessity, leaving us free to enjoy their decorative beauty and the important architectural focal point that their presence lends to a room. Even if it is no longer in use, a fireplace gives an instant jolt of character. 
Eclectic Thirties-inspired style
Open fireplace has, on one side of it, an African carving and, on the other, a fun-size alligator - shot by a forebear. A basket of sawn logs, straight from felled garden trees,  feels very English.
Modern Blue And Green Scheme
 In this West London sitting room the fire surround from Chesney's has a strong linear design with echoes of Art Deco; a perfect foil to the cool palate of greens and blues. 
Italian chic
This simple, yet ultra-modern open fireplace has been softened with a traditional cast-iron basket.The monochromatic colour scheme niftily detracts from the look of the television. 
A cosy corner
Teal walls are contrasted with traditional, Victorian-style brass fittings in this living room.
Marble fireplace
Marble fireplace with over mantel mirror in the sitting room.

 Magnificent Marble
Symmetry characterises this sitting room, where the owner's nineteenth-century wooden armchairs covered in a woollen fabric and a pair of custom console tables are centred around a Fifties Italian mirror and a recently added marble chimneypiece.
