Styling Tips: Integrating Statement Tables into Your Living Space
Bold furniture doesn’t shout—it speaks. It commands attention without overwhelming. At Peter Staunton Design, we believe that boldness, when guided by intention and executed with precision, enhances both functionality and aesthetics. Here’s how to integrate daring, standout pieces—like sculptural marble tables or monolithic sideboards—into any interior style with balance, grace, and purpose.
1. Anchor the Room with a Statement Piece
-
In classic interiors, a strong stone piece introduces a contemporary contrast. Surround it with timeless forms—think tailored upholstery or architectural moulding—to maintain harmony.
2. Balance Proportions and Scale
-
A large marble dining table in a compact space may overpower unless balanced by slimline chairs and minimal lighting.
-
In loft-style or open-plan layouts, oversized furniture can help delineate zones, especially when paired with rugs or lighting that echo its proportions.
3. Play with Texture and Contrast
-
In industrial interiors, introduce warmth with a bold marble table and pair it with matte black or distressed leather.
-
In Scandi-inspired spaces, add visual richness with a bold, richly veined onyx piece amidst soft woods and clean lines.
4. Use Colour with Purpose
-
A richly pigmented green onyx console or burnt sienna travertine side table can inject energy into a neutral palette.
-
Coordinate subtle accents—art, cushions, lighting—to echo the hues of your hero piece without competing.
5. Layer for Visual Softness
-
Add textural rugs, flowing drapery, or soft furnishings.
-
Use sculptural lighting to highlight form and shadow.
-
Include tactile accessories—ceramic vessels, woven baskets, or matte vases—that echo the piece’s materiality.
At Peter Staunton Design, we craft bold furniture not to dominate—but to enhance. With expert craftsmanship and timeless materials, our pieces offer beauty, functionality, and unmatched presence.
