One of the most crucial, yet frequently neglected, decorating decisions you'll have to make is selecting a coffee table.

After all, where are you going to place your tissue box when you cry watching The Notebook if you don't have a coffee table?

 

If you’re still considering how to decide which coffee table is for you, we got you covered!

 

Choosing A Coffee Table

 

  • Size
  • As a general guideline, your coffee table should be at least half the length of your sofa. While your coffee table’s height should be around the same as your sofa, plus or minus a few inches.

     

  • Aesthetics
  • Consider the style and colour scheme of your current furniture and decor. You can select a coffee table that complements the overall look of the room, whether it's contemporary, traditional, rustic, or eclectic.

     

  • Purpose and Needs
  • Consider whether you need drawers or shelves to store things like board games, magazines, and remote controls, or if you just want a plain surface for drinks and snacks.
