Guest Blog Post by Arcadian Lighting

Today I'm thrilled to have a guest blog post by Jessica from Arcadian Lighting!

Hi everyone! I'm Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, which is a wonderful source for beautiful and affordable light fixtures. I'm delighted to be guest posting for Snob Interior Design today because I'm going to be sharing some very chic mantles and coffee tables - living room focal points that are a must for snob-worthy interiors. I hope you enjoy!

A dramatic framed mirror is always a perfect way to give a room character. This all-white living room and the eclectic mix of natural decorations on the mantle is as cozy as it is chic.

A weathered, yet elegant vintage trunk is sure to give any living room a bit of romance. The rich color and texture is a beautiful contrast against the sleek, modern design of the rest of the living room.

There's just something about mirrored furniture that is instantly chic and glamorous. This simple coffee table is no exception. The sparkling table lamp and graceful ceiling light are interesting touches, as well.

Subtle seaside decorations like the framed starfish and rust-colored nautical stripes are enough to create a beautiful living room. The boat-shaped coffee table, however, makes the room positively charming.

The painted brick fireplace has a lovely, rustic vibe while still feeling very chic and modern. A silver framed picture and petite bouquet of flowers add a bit of feminine beauty.

The exposed wooden beams and the chicken crate turned coffee table give this shabby chic living room such beautifully rustic texture and detail. The candle lanterns and these types of bulbous glass table lamps must provide warm lighting in the evening.

A mantle is the perfect place to display natural beauty, like a driftwood branch, potted plants or naturally rounded stones. The pair of botanical and zoological prints are particularly lovely.

This warm and inviting living room mantle features not only an elegant, ornately gilded mirror, but crystal clear glass jars and a pair of Chinoiserie vases. The bright golden colors and sprig of petite yellow flowers are such a brilliant combination.†Images†1†|†2†|†3†|†4†|†5†|†6†|†7†|†8 Which of these mantles and coffee tables was your favorite?
