Guest Post: Arcadian Lighting

I am so excited to be presenting this guest post today! It is my first guest post and I couldn't have asked for a better one! Joanna @ Arcadian Lighting took the time to put together this AH-MAZING post for us. Without further ado, take it away Joanna.


Hi, I’m Joanna, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, the go-to source for light fixtures and cool lighting ideas on the web. Each day I spend hours surfing the web to find the best of the best interior designs. I then share them with readers of blogs such as The Mulberry Tree. Thanks for letting me share with you today! If you’re like me, you absolutely love vignettes. Any surface is a vignette waiting to happen. The coffee table gives an especially nice place to create a centerpiece vignette for all to enjoy. Many objects work well when creating a vignette, whether you use books, figurines or flowers, it is sure to add warmth and character to your space.

A modern coffee table becomes a feast for the eyes with books on antiques, art and design, a lovely bust and crystal for good chi.

Books, photos and figurines work nicely together to create a pretty vignette on this wood and glass coffee table.

Okay, so this is an ottoman, not a coffee table, but I just couldn’t leave it out and it does serve the same function. The crocodile embossed leather in white works as a terrific place to show off books and found objects. The beautiful pops of color and the lovely lighting fixtures also caught our attention.

An unusual and fun table made from a metal base and removable serving trays provides just the right support for a large collection of items.

This coffee table vignette is sexy, sophisticated and simple. The live flowers look lovely atop the glass table.

A natural, rustic vignette of branches, garden flowers and found bottles sits atop a wooden table. This is such a charming arrangement of objects.

Blue from the sofa is brought over to the table via blue chinoiserie and flowers. Books are turned in various directions for viewing from all sides. Once again, I can't resist the lighting—these tall slender lamps are gorgeous.

An acrylic coffee table holds magazines, collectable books and fresh flowers. The pink theme from the room is carried through to the table. Don't these vignettes just inspire you to de-clutter your coffee table and make it a beautiful living room centerpiece?

Wow! This post is filled with some great ideas and some beautiful inspiration images! I have been so hesitant in the past to stage my coffee table because I wasn't sure how to pull it off. I for one can't wait to tackle my coffee table now. 
Don't forget to stop on in at Arcadian Lighting. They have an excellent selection of well priced light fixtures from floor lamps to chandeliers and everything in between.
I hope you all enjoyed her post as much as I did! Thanks so much Joanna for the Guest Post! It was fabulous!
