Choose the right coffee table for your living room
· Match the style of the coffee table to your sofa or
armchairs· Look for a coffee table that complements
the sofa· The coffee table must be large enough, but not overly
so· It must match the size of the room as well as the upholstery of
the furniture· The deeper the seat, the taller the coffee table
The ideal height for a coffee table is 45 centimeters, but it also depends on how comfortable and deep the sofa or armchairs paired with the table are. If you have a sofa with a shallow backrest or comfortable armchairs, you can choose a lower coffee table. However, it also depends on what you do at the coffee table. If you occasionally work there, write something, or discuss matters, definitely choose based on the height of the sofa. If it will only serve as a place to set things down, you have more options.
What should the size of the table top be?
It depends on what we place on it. Usually, these are books, a vase or decoration, snacks, water, or remote controls for electronics, perhaps some magazines. Therefore, while the coffee table should be large enough, it must also be very stable so that it doesn’t tip over every time you stand up from the sofa. The ideal table is one that stands directly on the floor or has very sturdy legs and a solid frame.
The table should be about seventy centimeters long, but in that case, only forty centimeters wide.
Choose the right type
– Today, multifunctional coffee tables are very trendy; they can serve as storage space or, conversely, slide under a sofa or armchair- The
most common material for coffee tables is wood, but we also frequently see metal and glass, most often in combinations
. Designer tempered glass has been very popular in recent years. It is particularly suitable for open spaces that struggle with appearing small. Glass accessories can not only brighten up a space but also make it appear larger, which is likely why they are so sought after.
