I've never been able to keep my coffee table arranged the same way for long. I'm always fussing with the books, adding things and then taking them away, and generally just never satisfied with the way it looks. After coming across Matchbook Mag editor Katie Armour's stylish coffee table above, and seeing how she simply added a vase of flowers to stacks of books, I realized I've been over thinking the whole thing. I'm going to clear off my entire table at some point this week and start over now! Here are a few more perfectly styled coffee tables that I'm loving:

The round table with the tulips is gorgeous.
I'm a big fan of a more haphazard look when it comes to my coffee table. And I like to have just a couple books so that it's not a big effort to actually flip through them.
Katie can do no wrong in my book! Such a chic lady! I've decided that I need some more books for mine and a ginger jar vase...must make that happen asap!
Hope you're doing well, lady! xo, Julie
My coffee table looks like such a mess now, these are beautiful :)

Beautiful! I definitely have to add some books and flowers to my coffee table now.
My coffee tables looked like this when I was single...over 30 years ago! Now? I finally gave up and do not even have a coffee table! They win!
beautiful! love all the various coffee table books!

I love beautifully styled coffee tables as well but when it comes to my own, my pretty stack of a few magazines and books rapidly grows out of control! I think I need to be more selective as to the books I choose to display lol.

I'm loving how all of these are so individualized, but all stylish and uncluttered! My favorite is seeing all of the different unique pieces like that hot pink lotus and those golden birds!
I really like the circular table, I wouldn't have thought to arrange it like that!

i wish my boyfriend would let me keep our coffee table styled. lol.
I guess I should take advantage of a styled coffee table while we have no kiddies, huh?! :)

I wouldn't mind styling coffee tables for a living;)
These are gorgeous!
Sigh.. I can't wait to get my own place so I can have pretty coffee tables like this.

My coffee table has sushi all over it so often, there's not much room for any "style." I should work on that, though. This is great inspiration!

My coffee table follows sort of this same philosophy... Books and something that has meaning to me like a martrioshka a friend brought me from her hometown.
Love these! Thanks for sharing and love the blog.
New fan and follower here. Hope you can stop by decor-eat sometime soon.

I've probably styled my coffee table two or three times this year already. It's almost therapeutic to me! These images give me some great ideas for the next time! Gorgeous!
So pretty...all of them!!!!
I wish I could get a tray and keep nice books and flowers on our coffee table, but our little dog Lu just loves to steal anything and everything he can off the table. Argh, hopefully we can train him to not do this anymore soon!
Beautiful. I love fresh flowers, they really create a beautiful air to a room!

This is so true: I'm just like you, never satisfied with the results, always fussing with books and accessories. Thank you so much for this inspiration, I have a feeling that I, too, have to change my approach to coffee table styling!

These coffee tables are so nicely decorated. I know I can't keep mine decorated for long... I'll end up messing it up :P

I love Katie Armour's coffee table too! It's to die for!
Need these pictures as inspiration for my coffee table! I love decorating with bright books and flowers.
