The living room without an ideal coffee table is very much like a model without lipstick, not back. Just as lipstick is a detail that completes a look, so too can a perfect coffee table. The coffee table serves many purposes. From completing a look at storage and display, they are much needed somewhere. The question is which style will work for your room. Should you go with wood with smooth legs, metal on top of the glass? Should it be round, square, or rectangular? The options are endless and the times can be overwhelming. My six points will help you unravel the maze of decisions and lead you to the perfect coffee table

Budget

Price points for an ideal coffee table can range from very expensive to very budget, so know what to spend before you start shopping. Your overall budget should be broken down into areas such as accessories, lighting, and furniture. The furniture line item includes sofas, side tables, chairs, and a coffee table, with large portions reserved for portions. The good news is that you can tweak your budget a bit if you find something you like as long as it doesn’t include sofas or chairs.

Shape

When you plan your living room, think about the best shape of the space. Do you have children or pets? Is it a big room or small and cramped? A round or oval coffee table is ideal if you have children or pets. A curved edge means that a sharp corner does not injure anyone if one falls or collides with it. Using a rectangular shape and allowing 30 inches between the television console and the coffee table will give you the right amount of room to walk between the two pieces. A roundabout provides a little more room to walk past, as it will move away from the television console

Size

Like the shape, you need to determine the size you need. The height of the coffee table is important. It should not be less than 1-2 inches from your sofa seat. The standard height for a table is 16-18 inches and also paired with a normal size sofa. A high sofa requires a long table, 20-21 inches long. If you have a lot of fun, a long tablecloth will be easier, as it will be easier for guests to install glass or plates.

Functionality

Another important factor is knowing what the basic use will be. Will the table be more decorative or provide storage? How much storage will be enough? Tables with shelves or drawers can hold everything from children’s toys to this magazine stash that you will read one day. Regardless of whether storage is required, there is still a good chance you will be able to keep a beverage or plate down without the risk of tip-tapping. Choose a piece that can easily hold drinks and snacks. If the decoration is more purposeful, you can focus on the lines and textures in your favorite material.

Material

Speaking of material, coffee tables can also come in a variety of forms. Metals are industrial. Materials like glass combined with either brass or steel give a more sophisticated look. Whether it’s oak, maple, cherry, or walnut, wood has its own feel. Walnuts and cherries have a more formal look, white oak and maple have a more casual look. Consider using a loose, it will make your table float in the room and it will offer a newer appeal.

Style

Formal, informal, modern, or old; It will consider all the styles to consider when purchasing your coffee table. If you prefer a contemporary look, choose a sleek metal table with a glass top. If you are comfortable in the country, your rustic oak table will be perfect. Choose a round table with wooden legs for a romantic feel. There are many styles to choose from, just use the room decoration scheme as your guide
