Add a succulent to your coffee table for an eye-catching flourish

Many people ask us how best to decorate their coffee table. There are various ways that it can be done. While some people like the minimalist approach sometimes it helps to add an more extravagant flourish. A good example of this is knowing how to decorate a coffee table with succulents.

In simple terms a succulent is a thick and fleshy plant- a good example being cacti. With coffee tables these can be ideal as small potted succulents can be simple to look after and easy to reposition (thus avoiding any awkwardness if you have a number of guests setting their coffee down!)

What you choose depends on your personal preference- you may want one plant or several put together in an arrangement. The key is to position them somewhere eye catching (though obviously not too close to the edge so they don’t get accidentally knocked over!)

The ideal types of succulent are low and flat varieties as these provide the best look when viewed from above (as will often be the case when reaching over for your coffee). Lining a pot with gravel or river rocks will also add a bit of natural aesthetic as well.

So in short how to decorate a coffee table with succulents is simple- it’s just a matter of finding the right one, a little bit of TLC and putting it in the right position!
