Polished, sophisticated, and high-contrast, this luxury look turns the coffee table into a boutique hotel feature. A heavy white Carrara marble tray with polished brass or gold handles serves as the foundation for high-end decorative accents.
A sleek brass candle snuffer and wick trimmer rest atop a glossy photography book, flanked by a crystal glass ribbed hurricane holding a tall pillar candle. A small brass or alabaster lidded box conceals matchbooks, remote controls, or reading glasses. The color palette features white marble veining, radiant gold/brass, crystal clear glass, and rich jet black accents.
Step-by-Step Styling Method
- Position the Marble Tray: Set a heavy white marble tray featuring brushed brass or gold side handles in the center of the coffee table.
- Stack a High-Fashion Book: Place a dark, glossy fashion or photography book flat inside the tray.
- Add Crystal Candle Light: Set a ribbed crystal or fluted glass hurricane candle holder with an ivory pillar candle beside the book stack.
- Add Functional Storage: Place a small brass or alabaster lidded box on the opposite corner to hide small clutter.
- Top with Metallic Tools: Lay a polished brass candle snuffer and wick trimmer directly on top of the book cover.
