The striking “Charlotte” pattern on this is one that will draw you into a room. Incorporating a dark rug into an otherwise bright space is a great way to add depth to the room without losing the bright summertime feel you are trying to convey.

This mirrored coffee table is a perfect addition to any summertime room. It’s a favorite due to its mirrored detail on every side, and of course –for its light reflecting properties. The simple and gentle design also adds to the appeal.
