How to choose a suitable coffee table?

1. Purpose of purchase

You have to seriously think about what is the main purpose of your purchase of a coffee table? A coffee table is actually a general table, but it is relatively simple, generally only for four people to sit around, the table is relatively small, it just happens to put a few cups of coffee and a plate of snacks. If you start from this perspective, then you should pay attention to the overall match before buying. Because your home can not only this one table, you must take into account the other furniture with the problem. So before you buy, you have to carefully measure the size of your living room and the size of the furniture around it to ensure the size of the desired coffee table. If you have a large living room space, then a wide coffee table is needed. In addition, a bench can be placed at one end of the coffee table, and two small stools can be placed on the other end to fill the gap.

If you have two sofas or more in your living room, you may want to choose two coffee tables of the same type to avoid inconvenience in taking and placing items. This placement also facilitates the ability to move easily with one's eyes. Families with children or who often entertain guests, coffee tables with edges are the best choice to prevent food, snacks, wine, coffee, etc., from being scattered on the carpet. The height of the coffee table is also best with the height of the surrounding sofa seat cushions, the height of the coffee table should not be higher than the height of the seat cushions, otherwise it is not easy to hold the cup. Usually the height of the coffee table is 60cm. if you really do not know how to choose, this coffee table may be very suitable for you.

2. Different types

So which type of coffee table is best for your sofa? Well, it depends on the type of sofa you have! If you have a standard horizontal sofa, then we recommend an oval or rectangular coffee table. If you have a sectional or L-shaped sofa, then we suggest you pair it with a round or square coffee table to fit in nicely. Next, I will introduce you to a few classic coffee tables.

Oval coffee tables are great for balancing form and function. They promote movement and provide plenty of room to store items on top. There are no sharp edges, so oval tables are perfect for people with kids!

3. Different materials

If you do not want the coffee table to be the visual focal point in the living room, you can choose a coffee table with a glass top and a wooden frame that is similar in color to the other items in the room so that it can distract the eye. If you want to make the living room space more stylish, then you can choose a clear glass coffee table with a metal frame, which will make the space look more unobstructed. Marble coffee tables are one of the most sought after coffee tables around.

4. Size

Choose such a soft black stool as a coffee table in the living room to add a calm temperament to this colorful living room. The height of the coffee table should be consistent with the surrounding sofa, seat height, generally about 60cm. The size of the coffee table should be proportional to the sofa. As a good rule of thumb, the coffee table you buy should be at least half the length of the sofa, but not longer than the sofa itself. A nice happy medium sized coffee table of three quarters or two thirds the length is perfect. The height of the coffee table should be equal to the height of the sofa seat, or a few centimeters shorter. Of course, the height and width of the coffee table is not necessarily what you really need, in addition to the basic practicality, but also to meet the aesthetic requirements of the space. In the picture, in a white living room, a low black coffee table is placed in the middle to create a sense of dislocation in the line of sight, while not blocking the TV cabinet in front, in line with the principle of proportionality in home decoration with.

The coffee table has many functions, you can put books, magazines, drinks and food, and even play games on it. Usually the coffee table will be placed in the middle of the living room, adults will unconsciously put their feet on it, and children will use it as a drawing board. If you don't want to, you don't have to stick with a traditional coffee table. Many families choose to use coffee tables made of unconventional materials or objects. Think: a vintage trunk as a coffee table or a flea market find! I hope the above suggestions help you.
