The Art of Styling : Trends, Timeless Pieces & The Coffee Table Moment

At STYLEDas, we believe styling isn't just the final touch, it is the moment. It's the difference between a space that looks good and one that feels considered, confident, and totally you.

So whether you're reworking a shelf, upgrading your soft furnishings, or finally giving your coffee table the attention it deserves, we're breaking down the mix of what's trending, what's timeless and how to bring it all together in one beautifully styled scene.

What's Trending Now (that we are actually loving)

We're selective with trends. If it doesn't feel elevated, lived-in, or last longer than a TikTok sound, it's not for us. That said, here are the current styling movements we're fully leaning into:

Layering Natural Textures - Think stone, soft boucle, linen, ceramic matte finishes, We love mixing smooth with tactile.

Low Sculptural Décor - Curved silhouettes in vases, pots and trays are quietly making spaces feel more gallery than showroom.

Monochrome + Material Play - Matching tones across different textures. A cream boucle cushion paired with a chalky ceramic, feels more luxe than a loud contrast.

Intentional Empty Space - Not every surface needs to be full. In styling, space is a luxury.

The Timeless Trio : Pieces that always work

If you're investing in styling, start here. These are the STYLEDas-approved forever heroes : 

1. A weighted tray : Grounds any surface - coffee table, ottoman, console. It's the styling zone that makes everything else look deliberate.
2. Luxury cushions : They're not just soft, they style the entire room. With rich textures, tonal depth, and the refined weight, they bring balance and elegance to every seat, bed, or floor setup. We build whole corners around them.
3. Statement Pottery : A hero piece that holds its own. Think soft-sculptural ceramic with a matte finish. Bonus points if it's functional and beautiful.

Tip : Start with your cushions and echo their palette across your styling. It's the easiest way to create cohesion without overthinking it.

How We Style : The coffee table edition

Now for the fun part : Let's style your coffee table the STYLEDas way.

Step 1 : Start with a tray (or two)

Use one large tray to anchor your layout, or layer two smaller ones if you like symmetry. This keeps things curated, not cluttered.

Step 2 : Add height and movement

Use a stack of beautiful books (we love a neutral spine or vintage find), then add a sculptural object or a small vase with seasonal stems. Height variation is key.

Step 3 : Layer in softness

This is where your hero luxury cushions coms into play - not directly on the table, but in the surrounding space. Styling doesn't exist in isolation.

A nearby seat or sofa styled with cushions in complementary tones makes your coffee table feel part of a larger, layered story.

Step 4 : Personalise it

Add something with a story - a travel find, a candle you actually light, or a tray filled with items you reach for daily.

Step 5 : Leave room to live

Great styling feels effortless, like it belongs, not like it's been over-planned. Edit it down. Let your materials and palettes breathe.

Styled spaces start soft

The secret to any styled space? Softness with structure. That's why our luxury cushions are at the heart of every STYLEDas scene. They bring texture, tone, and grounding energy that pulls everything together - from coffee tables to corners.
