Miley Cyrus's ultra-chic coffee table styling is the only arrangement you need to follow – it's so personal but replicable (from $30)
Designers say coffee tables are a 'blank canvas for personality and charm,' and nobody understands this like Miley


Of all the decorative elements in a living room, none feel quite as playful (and revealing) as a coffee table. Celebrities, like us, often use this space to incorporate books, trinkets, vases, and candles that speak to their interests, but arguably, nobody has done it quite as stylishly as Miley Cyrus.
Designed by the singer's mother, Tish Cyrus, Miley's playful living room is a shrine to her colorful life and personality, with the coffee table at the center of it all. Perfecting the rules of coffee table styling, it features handmade ceramics, art books, and a vase of South African Proteas.
While many coffee tables (including yours) may include similar elements, the pieces still feel individual to Miley. The books, especially, pay homage to her interests, while the bowls could be from her travels or gifted from family or friends. Together, the objects bring vibrancy and personality to her dark table, encouraging us to get creative in our living rooms.

Jaipur is a vibrant city bursting with energy, color, and grandeur, and nothing captures this quite like this book. Each of its 304 pages offers a tour of the city, whether you're already in love with its streets or just visiting for the first time from your home.
This trio of ceramic vases makes the perfect vignette on any coffee table. Simply place a few of your favorite stems in them and watch them shine alongside your favorite books.
Bring out the beauty of natural wood with a beautiful blue bowl as a decorative accent (just as Teigen demonstrates on her top shelf). This high-end lapiz lazuli version is essential for every open shelf and looks great all year round.
Tangy and herby, this fresh-picked blackcurrant candle is unlike any other. It is a harmonious fragrance that unites its flowery rose notes with the berry notes. Its beautiful container means it looks great on any table.
This book’s in-depth perspective celebrates more than a century of Roman-inspired savoir-faire, chronicling the manufacturer’s Swiss-Italian watchmaking achievements through hundreds of rare images and interviews with Bulgari's most respected specialists.
This natural bowl is robust, making for excellent decor and storage. We love its modern rustic aesthetic, perfect for tapping into the Spanish revival trend on your table.
When arranging coffee table accessories, Miley's space is the perfect blueprint. It invites us to bring the possessions that mean the most to us to the forefront of our room, and bring a neutral furnishing to life in the process. 'Big coffee tables are such a fun opportunity to get creative – they’re like a blank canvas for personality and charm. I love using them to create little moments that feel thoughtful, a bit whimsical, and that invite conversation,' says Brittany Zimmerman, of Bleu Bee Designs. 'The goal isn’t for your coffee table to be what you’d see in anyone else’s home.'
Following Miley's example and introducing books that tap into your passions is the first way to bring Brittany's ideology to life.
'To keep things feeling real and personal, I always recommend choosing books that mean something. Not just ones that match your room (though I’ve definitely bought a book just for the color!), but ones that reflect your interests, your travels, your sense of humor,' Brittany says.
'I love placing them with the spines facing out, so even at a glance, someone can get a peek into who you are. Some books I grab because the title makes me smile, others because I actually want to read them – and occasionally, yes, just because they look great on the table. It’s about striking that balance between beauty and authenticity.'

As for placement, Miley's space offers further inspiration. 'I love stacking books in a quadrant on a large square or slightly rectangular table,' Brittany adds, 'Often times, I’ll add a textured vase (woven, ceramic or fluted glass) to the center of the book quadrant just to add visual height and allow the books to remain the focus.' We've bookmarked this beautiful space to return to every time we arrange our accessories, thank you, Miley and Tish.
