It shouldn't be difficult to find the right coffee table. When choosing the best coffee table to fit your living room, there are many important factors you should consider. You should measure the dimensions of your coffee tables in height, width, and length. The dimensions of your coffee table should match the size of your existing furniture and space. Your home's decor should complement your new coffee table. Are you looking for storage or something that is child-friendly? When you are looking for modern coffee table designs, all these factors can seem overwhelming. It's worth the effort, we promise. Here are four tips that will help you select the perfect coffee table. Keep reading for a quick checklist!

How high should a coffee table be?

Is it not common for a coffee-table that is too big or small to be able to accommodate a sofa in your living area? Imagine living with the awkwardness that comes with a coffee-table that is too tall or low to accommodate your sofa every single day. You must match the height requirements of your sofa for a coffee-table. The coffee table's height must match the sofa cushions. The space will look cramped and odd if it is too high. The coffee table should not be longer than your sofa. Your sofa should be at least two-thirds the size of the coffee table.

Take measurements of your living room

It is worth taking the time to measure your living area. This will ensure that you don't have furniture that is too small, too large, or both. After measuring your space, you can select the right shape coffee tables. You have the option of an oval, square rectangular, rectangular, rectangle, or oval coffee table. It all depends on how much space you have between the coffee table and your sofa. It all depends on how large, tall, and shaped your sofa is. Larger sofas are able to hold larger coffee tables. You can soften your furniture's lines by using a round coffee-table.

Balance

Balance is key to bringing all your furniture together. Consider the weight of your coffee table before you make a decision. Your coffee table should match the rest of your furniture, creating a balanced look. A coffee table and a sofa should be balanced.

Choose a coffee table that touches ground to complement a sofa with narrow feet and one with thicker legs.

If your sofa has very short legs, or no visible legs, you will want a coffee-table with narrow legs. Two questions to ask: "Does the living room feel dingy (the coffee table and the sofa have very skinny legs)?" and "Is it balanced?" If the answer is "Yes, it feels sloppy", or "No, it doesn't feel balanced", it may be worth redesigning your coffee table.

Learn what you need

Consider what you need in a coffee-table. Are you looking for storage or lots of space? Do you prefer to relax at the coffee table? Maybe an ottoman is better for your needs. If you're looking for something that is more child-friendly, an ottoman will work better than a rectangular coffee table made of glass. The right material is also important.

Even in small spaces, glass coffee tables can make your space feel brighter and more open. Wooden coffee tables are timeless and versatile pieces that will fit any interior. A nest of side table is a great choice for small spaces.

Checklist for the Coffee Table

It isn't always an easy task to select the right coffee table height. This checklist will help you narrow your search for the ideal coffee table size.

  • Your living space should be measured
  • Take measurements of your sofa to match the dimensions of a coffee-table.
  • To ensure your coffee table fits in with your existing furniture, create a mood board.
  • Think about the storage features and materials that will best suit your decor and style.
