What are other great centerpieces for my coffee table? Pls help. :)?
1. Tiki statue





2. cool piece of art/sculpture





3. bowl of fruit like lemons or pineapples





4. bowl of shells, or shells arranged in a modern dish with sand %26amp; rocks





5. small stack of good books (this is what is currently on my living room coffee table- I have a toddler and he was messing with the bowl of shells I had at one time)
Reply:Fresh flowers? Or wood items, something with a really nice interesting grain to it. Or maybe a few really beautiful books.
Reply:A really neat bowl maybe with some seashells. Candles are always a good idea. Get different sizes and put them on a glass bowl maybe filled with different colored flat marble like stones.
Reply:Buy a brown metal basket from Pier 1 Fill it with potpourri the dark kind I have more compliments from that
Reply:i found that decorating a flat mirror with pretty figurines maybe a doily and a small candle in a sconce is very attractive. and a great conversation piece as well.
Reply:try some kind of bamboo, like a bamboo candle holder since you like candles but are bored with plain candles, or try growing bamboo in a shallow decorative planter,and there are some palm trees that can be put in small planters and look very nice in a living room.
Reply:Hmm...a piece of driftwood maybe...a bowl full of candy (my idea of a good centerpiece), a parrot, a statue, a fish tank, food, a little cactus, balloons, a stick, a giant sculpture made of dishes piled on top of eachother...I dunno.
Reply:How about a really cool carved bowl with dried fruit (or fresh fruit) in it.
Reply:a pewter fish or something made out of pewter that will compliment the room.
Reply:water fall,fish bowl lots of color, we use conk shells we brought back from bahammas
Reply:This is the new stuff!! Self-sustaining water plants, the come in sealed glass capsules.They're great, inexpensive and never need any care. P.S. Not lava lamps!!!! a Fa- Sui mirror for faith, hope and prosperity.
Reply:Why not a little zen garden..Get a dish (kind of flat though), put some sand in it. Throw in some river rocks and there you have a zen garden.
Reply:Turn it into a beach getaway. get one of those nice sand filled rock gardens two cute small bonsai trees a barbie sized hammock and have a beach party on your coffee table. You could turn those candles into tiki torches.
Reply:buy a piece of glass that will fit the top of your table and place family photos or pictures of tropical fish under glass.
