Are you looking to decorate your coffee table for winter? I’ve got you! Coffee tables aren’t always super easy to decorate. That’s because we use them everyday. Plus, even though you can decorate them with a winter tray, for some of us that would just mean adding yet another tray in the house and we all have to admit that after a while, that’s just too much.

Whether it’s adding natural textures, wintery colors, or soft lighting, these coffee table decor ideas will help you set the mood for the season. I’ve included 15 simple ways to dress up your coffee table for winter including some you can easily DIY or put together quickly.

1. White Porcelain Christmas Tree on Tray

A white porcelain Christmas tree paired with candles wrapped in burlap is a simple yet elegant way to bring a touch of winter to your coffee table. I like placing this setup on a wooden or metal tray to keep everything tidy and organized.

The white porcelain tree adds a clean, crisp look, while the burlap-wrapped candles bring a rustic, cozy vibe. Together, they create a soft glow that brightens the space and gives it that wintery feel without being too Christmas-heavy.

2. Dried Cotton Branches in a Jar

Dried cotton branches in a jar bring a soft, natural element to your coffee table. The fluffy texture of the cotton adds a cozy, wintery touch, while the simplicity of the branches keeps the look understated. I love how dried cotton feels both rustic and refined at the same time.

Place them in a clear or simple ceramic jar and set it in the center of your table. This look pairs beautifully with other natural elements like pinecones or burlap-wrapped candles.

3. Mini Farm Truck Decoration

A mini white and grey farm truck is a fun, playful addition to your winter coffee table. I like to place this little decoration alongside a few small candles to create a cozy, nostalgic vibe. The farm truck adds a bit of whimsy, while the candles bring warmth and light to the space.

It’s a great way to mix in a little character with more traditional winter decor. You can even add a few pine branches or dried orange slices around the truck for an extra touch of seasonal flair.

4. Two-Tier Tray with Cozy Decor

A two-tier tray filled with cozy winter decor and a cute sign that says “Sweater Weather” is perfect for adding height and layers to your coffee table. I love using tiered trays because they keep everything organized while still adding style.

Fill the trays with small items like mini trees, candles, or tiny pinecones, and place the sign front and center. The mix of textures and heights creates an interesting focal point on your table, making it feel more dynamic and layered.

5. White Lantern with Burlap Bows and Pinecones

A white lantern tied with burlap bows and surrounded by pinecones is an easy way to create a cozy, wintery centerpiece for your coffee table. I usually place a small LED candle inside the lantern to give off a soft glow.

The white lantern keeps the look bright, while the burlap and pinecones add a rustic, natural touch. It’s a simple setup that brings warmth and light to your space without feeling too formal or overdone. Perfect for creating that laid-back, cozy vibe we all love in the winter.

6. Nordic White and Red Houses with Pine Branches

Nordic white and red houses paired with pine branches create a charming, winter village feel for your coffee table. I like placing a few of these small houses together and tucking pine branches around them for a cozy, natural look.

The red and white color scheme adds a festive touch without being overly Christmasy, and the pine branches bring in a bit of the outdoors. This setup is perfect if you want something simple but still full of winter charm. It’s like having a little winter wonderland right on your coffee table.

7. Jars Wrapped in Crochet Sleeve

Jars wrapped in a crochet sleeve bring a soft, textured element to your winter coffee table. I like to fill these jars with small candles or dried flowers to keep the look simple and cozy.

The crochet sleeves add a handmade, warm feel to the jars, making them perfect for winter decor. This setup is easy to put together and adds a charming, rustic vibe to your coffee table.

8. Small Deer Decoration and Pinecones

Adding a small deer decoration surrounded by pinecones is a classic winter decor idea that never goes out of style.

I love how the simplicity of the deer figure pairs with the natural look of the pinecones. Place the deer in the center of your coffee table and scatter pinecones around it for a cozy, woodland-inspired look.

9. Cute Winter Gnomes

Winter gnomes are a fun and playful way to bring some personality to your coffee table. I love placing one or two gnomes on the table alongside candles or pine branches.

Their soft, cozy look adds a bit of whimsy to the decor, making the space feel more relaxed and inviting. Whether you’re going for a rustic vibe or something a bit more playful, these cute gnomes are an easy addition that brightens up the room.

10. Copper Bells and Pine Branches

Copper bells paired with pine branches create a warm and elegant winter display for your coffee table. I love how the rich tones of the copper bells contrast with the deep green of the pine branches.

Scatter a few bells across the table, and tuck pine branches around them for a simple yet stunning look. This setup adds a bit of shine and texture, making your coffee table feel more festive without being too flashy.

11. White Wooden Reindeer and Nordic White House in Porcelain

A white wooden reindeer paired with a Nordic white porcelain house is a clean, modern way to decorate your coffee table for winter. I love the minimalist look of these two items together.

The white tones keep the space feeling light and bright, while the reindeer and house bring in a wintery, woodland charm. Place them in the center of your table with a few small candles or pinecones around them for a simple, elegant look that brightens the room.

12. Checkered White and Brown Fabric Trees

Checkered white and brown fabric trees bring a cozy, handmade feel to your winter coffee table. I like to pair these fabric trees with a few pine branches, laid out on a simple white tablecloth for a clean, fresh look.

The combination of soft fabric and natural greenery creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels perfect for winter.

13. Books Stacked with Candle on Top and Small Eucalyptus Tree

Stacking a few books on your coffee table and placing a candle on top is an easy way to add height and interest to your winter decor.

I like to add a small eucalyptus tree next to the stack for a pop of greenery. The books add a bit of personality, while the candle creates a warm, cozy glow.

14. Dried Orange Slices in a Jar Set on a Wooden Tray

Dried orange slices in a jar are a fun and fragrant addition to your winter coffee table. Place the jar on a wooden tray for a rustic, natural look. I

love how the bright orange color pops against the wood, adding a bit of warmth to the space. The dried oranges give off a subtle, fresh scent, making your coffee table feel cozy and inviting.

15. Add Red Lanterns and White Flowers

Red lanterns paired with white flowers create a beautiful contrast that can brighten up any winter coffee table. I love using red sparingly in winter decor, as it adds a cozy pop of color without feeling too Christmasy when balanced with natural elements. You can place one or two small red lanterns on your coffee table and add a vase of white flowers next to them. The combination of the bold red lanterns and soft white flowers brings warmth and elegance to the space.

The lanterns also add a practical touch: whether you use real candles or LED lights, they create a cozy, glowing ambiance perfect for those dark winter evenings. The white flowers keep the look fresh and airy, making sure your table stays light and inviting throughout the season.
