9 Accessories That Make a White Coffee Table Pop

A white coffee table stands out when you give it contrast, texture and height. The accessories that do this best are dark or earthy ceramics, a natural timber tray, a stack of books with strong spines, a sculptural object, fresh greenery, a candle or lantern, a touch of warm metal, a woven or textured element, and a rug that frames the table from below.

We also cover how gloss and matt white tables behave differently under daylight and lamp light, which colours suit each finish, and how to keep a white surface looking fresh in a busy household.
