The Perfect Coffee Table

By Pioneer Window Fashions on November 30, 2014

Thinking outside the box when you select a coffee table will add drama.CoffeeTable-2

The coffee table is often the first object people “see” when they enter a room. An unusual coffee table creates interest and a focal point.

Coffee tables are often an afterthought in interior design, yet they provide an important anchor in most rooms, so your coffee table is an opportunity to make a statement. And it’s important that your coffee table is in scale with your sofas or sectional – and the size of the room itself.

  • Think outside the typical square or rectangle made out of wood or metal.
  • Consider a circular or oval table – or even a hexagon or kidney-shape.
  • Take a look at alternative materials such as mirrored surfaces, glass, fabric or stone.
  • You can even use a beautiful old trunk or an ottoman with a tray on top as your coffee table.

Before you select a coffee table, consider how you want it to function.

  • If you want to display a collection of your favorite objects or books, make sure your coffee table is large enough to accommodate these items.
  • If you want flexibility to move the table on occasion, don’t select a heavy marble or glass table.
  • Think about using two or three smaller tables that are lightweight.
  • If you want your room to appear larger, think about a mirrored surface. Or select a glass table that won’t hide a beautiful rug or floor.
  • If you want to serve food or drinks on the table, select a durable surface that can’t be easily damaged.
  • If you have children or seniors living with you or visiting often, avoid sharp corners.

Be creative when you plan your coffee table design for maximum beauty and optimal enjoyment!
