Coffee tables are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in your living
room. A stylish surface for your paper mail tray, a space for the TV remote,
to keep the finger food within easy reach, and of course to rest your big
coffee mug. But coffee tables have so much more potential than just be a
placement space.

With coffee tables trending fast, they are now available in different builds
and designs. Depending on your decor and taste you can choose from a
chunky wooden piece, to sleek metal frames to shiny metal sculptures,
floating art pieces made of glass or with a cool, bold marble top. The
contemporary coffee tables come in mind boggling shape choices from
squares, rectangles and circles or asymmetric forms too.

It helps to know a few placement and styling tips to choose the coffee table
for your home

●An anesthetic coffee table should not be more than two thirds the
length of your sofa or chaise
●Place your coffee table between 18 to 20 inches away from the
seating so that it’s easy to reach out but not cramped to bang your
knees against
●The height of the coffee table ideally should be anywhere in between
12 to 20 inches depending on the height of the sofa set in your


drawing-room. Too low or too high makes it lose its purpose
●For smaller homes, look for a coffee table with a built-in storage or
storage shelf
●A coffee table is way more flexible and versatile as compared to the center table. Use it as a console against the wall, make use of its convenient low height and use as an ottoman or convert it into a TV
unit.
A coffee table is a piece of over-friendly furniture. Invite one to your home and see it grow upon you.
