From cute trinkets that are just for fun to items that serve a purpose (and are pretty to look at), we’ve rounded up nine different things that would be at home on any coffee table. Keep scrolling to shop our coffee table favorites from brands like Urban Outfitters, Society6 and Anthropologie.

There are a few things that pretty much every coffee table has, and coasters and books are two of them. Grab a set of coasters in your favorite hues to keep your table neat and for an added pop of color. While coffee table books are typically more for show than reading, grab one with pictures that inspire you whenever you flip through it. And to add more dimension, grab a paperweight or decorative object to rest on top of your magazines.
