And finally, flowers. A bunch of colourful blooms literally breathes life into a coffee tablescape and in my book is a must.

I avoid placing my flowers in the centre of the table as I often find that this can overshadow or crowd the other items. Instead I like to pick a side, usually furthest away from the door, so that you can see smaller pieces.

Tulips are definitely the flower of the moment, a trend which I’ve seen all over Instagram and is a muse for many homeware brands and indie makers.

Top tip: If you don’t have a big, fancy vase just use a cute juice glass instead. I love this one from Anthropologie x Hotel Magique’s collaboration.
