Vases
A popular choice that is found on coffee tables aplenty are vases. They come in various shapes, sizes and colours, making them a great way to add texture and height to your table. Plus, it’ll prompt you to buy yourself some fresh flowers – a *must* in our books.
Add height with a tall and slim vase or choose one with a natural organic finish for a rustic touch.
