decorating
Pay attention to scale. Your arrangement shouldn't be too big or too puny for the surface it's on. And don't feel like you have to fill every tabletop — the eye needs a chance to rest, too. Since all three items on this coffee table are approximately the same size, the coral was set atop a stack of books to stagger the heights. Notice how the book jackets pick up the color of the vase and the seat cushion.
Don’t forget the anchor. The tall candles on this coffee table anchor the arrangement and are surrounded by objects of descending size. Small items are grouped on a tray, so they have a collective presence. The bowl of apples works like fresh flowers — it makes this feel like a "living" arrangement and not something that was put here two years ago and never touched.
