60 Head-Turning Coffee Table Designs for a Charismatic Living Room
Coffee tables can spice up your living room. It has almost become a classic staple for every room that could elevate its overall visual appeal.
Depending on the coffee table designs, your coffee table can provide additional storage or a pop-up workspace. Not only can a coffee table be a stylish charmer, but it can also be a functional addition to your living room.
How to choose the perfect coffee table for your room?
As it is, there are many coffee table designs to choose from. From mid-century modern style to farmhouse chic. There are quite a plethora of coffee table designs to go through. But you can’t just simply pick one without considering how much of a perfect fit it is to your room.
Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect coffee table for your room!
1. Consider the shape
In this, you are going to have to consider the layout of your living room. Is the room large or is it small and narrow? Do you have pets or children? If you do, round or oval coffee tables are ideal. This avoids corner injuries since there would be curved edges instead.
Rectangular coffee table designs, allowing 30 inches between TV console and coffee table, would allow a lot of room to walk. Whereas, rounded coffee tables give a little more space to walk.
2. Consider the size and height
The size of your coffee table should be proportionate to that of the sofa. Take note that the coffee table should be at least half the length of your sofa, but not longer than the sofa itself.
In height, the coffee table should not be lower than 1-2 inches from the seat of your couch. So, if your sofa seat is higher, then you need a taller table. This makes it easy for you to set down their glass or plate.
3. Consider function
Consider the overall function of your coffee table. Is it simply a decorative piece or is it to provide storage? If additional storage is a requirement, how much storage do you need? Some coffee table designs come with shelves or drawers enough to store a stash of magazines or even kids’ toys. And even without additional storage, you will want your coffee table to at least be able to hold drinks or a plate down with ease.
If the coffee table is more of a decorative piece, you can focus on lines and textures that suit you.
4. Consider the material and style
When it comes to materials, coffee table designs come in a wide variety of them too. Formal, casual, modern, or vintage, these styles sometimes come hand-in-hand with the materials too. Industrial ones come in metal. Some coffee tables combine glass with brass or steel for a more sophisticated look. Oak and maple coffee tables give a more casual look as opposed to the more formal look of walnut and cherry tables. Some sleek tables made of metal are well-suited for a contemporary look. If you like some rustic casual aesthetic, try a rustic oak table.
5. Consider the scale
In interior design, scale is very important so that every piece in the room is at an appropriate scale. It’s about making sure the size and visual weight of objects are comparable. For example, if you have a heavy-set sofa, a small dainty coffee table is going to make the room look off. So, pair it with a large table instead. Dainty coffee tables would work best with more delicate loveseats or sofas.
6. Consider alternatives
Sometimes the perfect coffee table for your room isn’t even a table. Chests, trunks, and ottomans are some valuable alternatives for typical coffee tables. In a way, these are unique and out-of-the-box coffee table designs, providing an eclectic appeal to the overall vision of your living room. These options also provide additional functions. For instance, ottomans can be used to put your feet up while also adding some texture to your room.
Another alternative is having a set of tables instead of just one. If your living room is wide, this could be an option for you. Place two sets of identical nesting tables next to each other that could expand the surface area, creating one larger table.
