When decorating a spring coffee table with greenery, you can use a variety of different types of greenery such as a potted flower plant or a bow filled with moss to create a colorful and diverse display.

This can include items such as a vase with a single flower, a small sculpture or object, or a stack of books. The key to minimal decor is to choose a few high-quality items that are visually interesting and that complement the room’s overall design aesthetic.

This approach can create a clean and modern look that is both elegant and functional.

This can be achieved by grouping similar items together, such as three candles or three small vases, or by using a combination of different items, such as a vase, a book, and a tray. This rule also can be used as a guide when styling your coffee table with different heights, textures, and colors. It can create a cohesive look and make the space look more put-together.
