In this article, we will provide you with all our advice for choosing a design coffee table that will perfectly suit your interior. Various elements need to be considered, which we will now explore.
Choose your design coffee table according to the dimensions of your living room
When considering your future design coffee table, you must take into account the surface area of your room. Generally speaking, and this applies to all elements of your furniture, such as choosing design chairs for your dining room, you will be obliged to choose based on the volume of your room. It will indeed be important to leave enough space for movement. For a design coffee table, usually associated with a sofa, this is even more necessary: being able to move easily between the coffee table and the sofa is essential.
We therefore advise you to measure your ideal coffee table, based on the available space in your living room. Indeed, relying solely on the display area of the store where you purchase your design furniture can be misleading, as the large volumes there might lead you to make an error. For your information, it is recommended to leave at least 50 cm between the edge of your sofa and that of your design coffee table. This provides sufficient space for your legs, allowing you to stand up and move around without hindrance. Conversely, do not leave too much distance either, at the risk of creating an empty-looking space.
Adapt Your Coffee Table to the Shape of Your Sofa
Your coffee table is entirely visually associated with your sofa. Therefore, you must choose your coffee table based on your sofa, considering both its color and, especially, its shape. Here are our tips:
- If you have a corner sofa, we recommend opting for a round coffee table to create a convivial atmosphere, or a rectangular one for a beautiful visual effect. A rectangular table will indeed fit perfectly into the rectangular section of your sofa.
- If you have a long sofa, you can opt for any shape of coffee table: square, rectangular, or round. You could even choose several nesting tables to add volume to your room.
Also, to ensure that our teams of design furniture specialists on the French Riviera can best assist you during your visit, we advise you to take a photo of your living room, including your sofa (shape and colors). This will allow us to recommend design coffee tables perfectly suited to your interior.
One last important point: your coffee table should be the same height as your sofa’s seat, or slightly lower. This is for both aesthetic appeal and your comfort.
Consider the materials already present in your furniture. It can be complicated to choose your design coffee table because it must perfectly adapt to the general style of the room, which usually includes a sofa, perhaps an armchair, or a cabinet where you have installed your television. First of all, you are not necessarily obliged to choose a design coffee table in the same style as the other elements. A total monochrome look with the same materials is not a requirement.
On the contrary, you can mix different styles to give personality to your room. Here are some tips:
- Do you have a rather Scandinavian, warm style? Why not choose a design coffee table with more sober lines?
- Conversely, do you have a very industrial style? Bring a little warmth with a coffee table that incorporates wood.
