Sara Crampton of The Undone shares her how-to's when it comes to styling her home. Featuring our Arii Coffee Table, Robare 4 Door Buffet and Donato Occasional Chair, Sara walks us through how she styles her space to reflect a lifestyle.
Your coffee table is more than just a surface, it’s the quiet anchor of your living space. A place of pause, conversation, and expression, it offers a canvas to reflect your lifestyle and aesthetic sensibilities.

For lovers of clean lines and purposeful space, a minimalist coffee table speaks volumes through restraint. Often, the table itself becomes the statement, especially when crafted from a beautiful material like marble, travertine, or timber.
If your coffee table is a space where you land to unwind, flip through a book, or enjoy a quiet moment, let it reflect the richness of your inner world. The layered table invites a thoughtful mix of objects: favourite reads, sculptural forms, candles, and pieces collected over time. Here, more can be more, as long as each item holds beauty, meaning, or function.
For those who gather, snack, pour wine and play cards around the coffee table; let the styling match the energy. Here, functionality is key, but it doesn’t mean compromising on style. Begin by creating zones - a tray or stack of coasters to corral drinks, a bowl for snacks, and space for games or conversation starters.
Occasional chairs give you permission to bring personality into a living room setting. They’re the piece that says, I’m my own person. The beauty of the occasional chair is that it doesn’t need to blend seamlessly with your lounge or sofa or follow the same design rules as the rest of the space. In fact, it’s often more impactful if it doesn’t.
Most people push their furniture against the wall, but pulling an occasional chair forward even slightly can change the entire energy of a room. Angle it gently inward and it instantly breaks the rigidity of a lounge setting, softening hard lines and creating a more intimate, conversational feel.
Every chair deserves its own moment, and lighting helps deliver it. Pairing your occasional chair with a floor or table lamp adds atmosphere while also being practical.
Kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms may hold the most weight when it comes to styling a home, but the entrance sets the tone. It’s the first and last impression when guests come to visit, and your welcome home when you first step back into your space. A well-considered console table isn’t just a space filler, it’s an anchor for your daily rituals.
Your entrance console has two main purposes: to create an inviting first impression, and to serve as a functional drop zone for the essentials of daily life.
This is where design meets practicality. The right console table should meet both your aesthetic and functional needs. Narrow hallways benefit from a slim, streamlined design, while larger entryways can accommodate more substantial pieces that anchor the room.
A console table naturally sits lower in the room’s visual hierarchy. It’s connected to the floor and generally takes up only one third of the wall height. To balance the proportions and draw the eye upward, you’ll want to introduce vertical elements.
