A cuppa coffee in your living room – things to remember
The style, shape, and size of your coffee table should be based on two critical criteria: the current style of your interior decor and what usage the table is going to have within the space. If young children are at home, the table should br robust and functional, whereas if you entertain often, you should keep functionality as well as appearance in mind.
Understand designs:
Length: As a rule of thumb, they should be half the length of the couch so it does not spill out into walk ways. The height of the table must be even with the cushions of the couch.
Right Rectangle: While rectangle designs have always been the standard, a round table should be considered if you have a limited amount of space; such as in small apartments.
Perfect Round: Not only will this eliminate those painful and troublesome corners but a rounded coffee table naturally draws crowds around it.
Square cut: Large square tables are common in homes that are trying to have a modern look yet these dimensions will not work for everyone. It comes back to space. If you have enough space, then go for a square model, if not then stick with a rectangle.
