Coffee Tables (with no remote controls in sight)...

No longer just a place for the remote controls and a set of coasters, coffee tables can be such a beautiful place to show who you are and a great investment prices for renters. I love them piled with gorgeous books, bits and pieces from travels, candles and flowers.

Good news : coffee tables don't have to cost the earth, there are some great pieces around that with a little creativity, time and TLC can be bought to life...I have seen some great Ikea hacks on the Vittsjo Coffee Table which retails for around $90.

The key is to start with the right shape and dimension for your room then top it with objects of affection.
