Eliminating Coffee Table Clutter
Some of the most lived in rooms of your house are your entertaining rooms. These areas includes your family and living rooms and they can accumulate clutter quickly, particularly the coffee table. Here are some quick tips to help keep the coffee table presentable and clean.
A coffee table is an ideal place to store and organize various items throughout the room such as the remote control or magazines. Utilizing the shelving on most coffee tables will definitely help to keep the things looking less cluttered. Stacking magazines underneath neatly, so they are slightly visible, yet almost out of sight is a good start. Next, purchase a small decorative basket to store your remotes inside. The basket can be kept on top of the table or on a shelf just below the surface. If all the remotes are kept inside the basket, it also prevents them from being lost.
If your coffee table has drawers, this is a good place to store games, pens/pencils, CD’s, DVD’s, and various other items that tend to accumulate throughout the room. It’s even a good idea to keep coasters in the drawers so they are ready available when guests are around and you offer drinks.
Large, untraditional coffee tables often have larger storage inside, and these are good for storing linens, larger games, blankets, pillows and even photo albums.
Keep as little as possible on the tops of coffee tables. A traditional candy bowl or candle is always nicest. Sometimes even a family photo set on the coffee table can bring a smile to your room and keep the focus off of clutter.
