5 tips for choosing your coffee table
Being the center of the living room and the final touch of your decoration, the choice of a coffee table is not done lightly. Here are a few tips for choosing a coffee table and finding the gem that will enhance your home.
Space
As with any furniture purchase, it is essential to measure the space you have.
Whether it's for a living room or a dining room, remember to leave room to move around your coffee table and your storage spaces, so as not to clutter the room too much.
The shape
Choose a round, square or rectangular coffee table... Another element to consider when shopping is the shape of your table.
You will choose a round or oval table if you have a limited space. Also, they are more suitable for young children who are less likely to hurt themselves with it.
If you're looking for a more convivial setting, we recommend a square coffee table that allows people to gather around.
If you are lucky enough to have space in your living room, you can choose a rectangular or elongated coffee table.
The height
For the sake of aesthetics and comfort, it is best to choose a piece of living room furniture whose height does not exceed the lowest seat present in your small living room.
If you can't find a coffee table at the exact height, choose a lower one, this will help to keep a sense of harmony in your interior.
The number
If the size of your space allows it, why not have more than one coffee table? This way everyone can have their own corner.
To choose your coffee tables, no need to take them identical, you can play on the shape, color or materials. But remember to keep a visual harmony.
Marry for example a wooden coffee table with a glass coffee table to stick with a pure Scandinavian style.
In the same way, a nesting table can be perfectly assembled with a small round table or a side table to optimize space.
The materials
