Editing a cluttered coffee table with three pieces keeps the surface stylish and functional. Select objects varied in height and texture, such as a low decorative bowl, a medium stack of books, and a tall branch in a slim vase. Arrange them asymmetrically for interest and balance. This trio prevents overfilling, making the table feel curated and calm. By limiting to three items, you gain quiet confidence in your styling and avoid constantly adjusting clutter, enhancing your living space with less effort.
