Keys for Choosing the Right Coffee Table for Living Room

Choose the Right Size

It might seem like selecting a table by size to fit available space is simple. But we're sure this is a mistake often made. You might recall a house where between the sofa and TV cabinet was an oversized table that took up too much space or, on the other hand, a table so small you couldn't put anything on it.

The secret is to tailor the table to the available space, ensuring a safe walking area (between 40 and 50 cm around), preventing the table from occupying too much space or disappearing among other furniture. Measure well and select a size that allows the table to perfectly fit into your interior design. Also consider how you'll use the table: this depends on family members, whether you eat dinner or breakfast in front of the TV... all influence your choice. Built-in tables are an excellent way to create compositions, add movement and dynamism to the space, and conveniently gather them when not in use.

Also consider whether you want to use the table as storage. There are tables with shelves or even drawers.

Be Careful with Height

When choosing height, it's better to go for low tables. This prevents strong visual impact and makes the table more comfortable and functional when used with a sofa.

The rule is to match the table height with that of the sofa or make it slightly lower. If you need a higher table, for example, for work or dining, consider an adjustable-height table.

Choose the Material

The material is also an important factor when choosing a living room table. If you select a glass or other transparent material table, you can visually lighten the interior. To achieve this effect, pay attention to stylized tables with thin, elongated legs and minimal details. Wooden and glass tables are a safe choice since they suit different interior styles. Tables made from premium materials like marble add elegance, while those made from natural materials such as Hungarian woven furniture (wicker) give a fresh and cozy look.

If you have children at home, it's important to choose tables with rounded edges, avoiding materials that can break and cause harm, such as glass.
