A coffee table is an essential part of living room furniture. It is positioned near the sofa and armchairs. Among other uses, it serves as a place to share an aperitif or simply to store personal items, a book, a computer, etc. To choose the right one for you, consider its usage. This will make your choice easier.
Which coffee table for a living room?
Depending on your needs, you can choose between several types of coffee tables:
Single-top coffee table: if you focus on decor, choose a simple yet elaborately designed model. Whether it's designer, classic, or avant-garde, it should match your interior decoration.
Coffee table for dining: functional, this coffee table features a lift-up top, which is very practical for transforming it into a real dining table.
Aperitif coffee table: modular, it features an opening top with storage space. Perfect for setting out everything needed for your aperitif evening: glasses, bottles, plates, snacks, etc.
Coffee table with compartments and/or drawers: this table allows you to store remote controls, tablets, magazines, keeping the top clear.
Nesting coffee tables: of different heights, in sets of two or three, they are perfect for decor, storage, and evenings. They can be nested under each other if needed.
For this, it must be equipped with a top suited to the number of people who could gather around it
What dimensions for a coffee table?
It all depends on the number of people likely to use it, the usage, and the furniture you have. From XXL tables to very small ones, coffee tables adapt to your needs.
If you have a large sofa, consider getting a fairly large coffee table. The same applies to the height; choose a model that is a few centimeters lower than the sofa or sofa bed.
What materials and style for a coffee table?
Industrial, Scandinavian, vintage, or classic, the style of coffee tables is generally indicated on the product sheet, and it's up to you to choose yours!
When it comes to materials, the choice is broad:
Solid woods, such as oak, acacia, or exotic woods (teak, mango), are great classics but must be maintained (wax, oil, etc.). Durable, wood can also be renovated or customized as desired.
Lacquered woods have a thick protective layer but require regular maintenance (dust and visible marks).
Wood derivatives (melamine) require little maintenance but are less durable than their solid wood counterparts.
Metals (steel, aluminum), alone or combined with wood or glass for a more contemporary and refined style. They require little maintenance except for models with glass elements.
