Coffee Table Talk
Posted by Zin Home on 31st Jul 2017
A living room is not complete without the perfect coffee table—it anchors the space. In fact, having a coffee table is a necessity, as it doesn’t just bring stability to your space, but it also offers much needed functional surface space to display decorative items such as books or candles. They are also practically needed when having guests over and you need a place to set a glass of wine or plate of hor d'oeuvres.
Coffee tables come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. When choosing the perfect table for your space, there are a few things to remember.
Think about your space. The ideal distance from the edge of the sofa to the edge of the coffee table should be 18 inches. This allows you to be close enough to set down a drink, but far enough to stretch out your legs after a long day.
Consider the flow of the room. Leave at least 30 inches from the outer edge of the coffee table to the TV stand or media cabinet.
The height of the coffee table is very important—it should be about one or two inches lower than the sofa or chairs that surround it. Most coffee tables will be about 16-18 inches in height, while you may also find some coffee tables that are 20 or 21 inches high, for taller sofas.
Functionality of the coffee tables very important as well. If you want extra storage space in your living room, we offer a variety of different pieces with functional drawers, shelves and compartments.
