Tablescaping with Laser Edge
Tablescaping refers to artfully arranged objects, on a table. Tablescaping is the art of arranging tabletops, but why stop at tables? You can create interesting vignettes for every horizontal surface imaginable. There are really no hard and fast rules for creating a grouping for a dresser, a bookshelf, a countertop or a window ledge, but after creating hundreds of vignettes, I do have a few tips.

Acrylic coffee tables creates an airy ambience from Laser Edge When creating a grouping, place similar objects together. Group them according to size, shape or colour. To add visual interest, try to vary the height of the objects, and when necessary, use small pedestals or stands to elevate objects. You can also use books stacked on their sides as a base for smaller items. 
- When choosing the items for a grouping, it sometimes helps to stick to a theme. You might create a grouping of candles of varying heights or display some family photos of favourite vacation spots. If your favourite vacation spot happens to be the beach, add a seashell to support the theme.
- Mirrors make a great addition to a room, even when they’re used on a horizontal surface. Items placed on the mirror become more dimensional and interesting. Or, for the unexpected, try leaning a smaller framed mirror against a larger mirror.
- Most shelving units have five or six shelves, and I’ve found that decorating the shelves in a sort of zigzag pattern works well. On one shelf, the tallest item might be on the far left, while the tallest item on the next shelf might be on the far right.
- Vary the textures of items in a grouping. Architectural elements in wood or iron can add character to a shelf. Photos in a variety of frames can become a focal point.
- Greenery adds life and texture to a vignette. Just tuck some silk greenery into a corner of a shelf and trail a second piece over the edge of another shelf. Or fill a basket with silk greenery and make it the focal point by placing it in the centre of a shelf.
For the perfect tablescape my all time favourite is Perspex Furniture from Laser Edge, enhancing any contemporary or classic style.
