The choice of location of the coffee table in the first place depends on the spatial features of the room. For example, it is desirable to choose light side tables that will not interfere with free movement in a small, narrow space. In any case, the placement of the coffee table must take into account the minimum distance and a comfortable distance between furniture elements.
Light side tables
If the furniture element is to be placed against the wall, a light side table is a useful solution. These items are made of glass, and they come in the form of rectangular or rectangular-shaped pedestals. They are small (about 40-50 cm in height) and lightweight (up to 5 kg).
Light sides tables are best used near bare, white walls. Although they can be placed on a dark or tiled floor, they are usually positioned on a dark carpet, as the light helps to soften its visual impact. As far as the height of the coffee table is concerned, the lower, the better. The ideal dimensions of a coffee table are 80×80 cm, as it will allow enough room for a person to walk through the room without bumping into the table.
Size of the room for a coffee table
The tables we buy are small in size, and we have to pay special attention to the design of the table placed in our living room. In fact, the easiest way to find the right design is to use 3D models of coffee tables. Most of the high-quality furniture of this type usually ranges between one and two meters in length. That is why we have to pay special attention to the table’s location so that it does not disturb the flow of traffic in the room.
There are many kinds of coffee tables, each of which has specific features, so it is best to go for the design that best suits our needs. In the examples of 3d models of coffee tables, you can see that one could be made of glass and the other one covered with leather cushions. Both of them enhance the room’s beauty, and they make our rooms feel like an apartment.
Furniture layout around the coffee table
The placement of the coffee table depends on its size. If the table is large, consider it a focal point of the room and place it where all the guests can appreciate it. On the other hand, if the table is small, it is better to put it in the corner of the room and emphasize it with furniture items that are harmonious with the table.
Item placement
Coffee table items can range from low shelves to small storage cabinets, storage containers, the coffee table stand, candlesticks, and decorative books.
Smaller coffee table
You can place many small chairs around the coffee table as it is an intimate item. It is desirable to place the coffee table near a blank wall wide enough to shield the coffee table from the total space.
Positioning coffee table in the room
Coffee tables are typically positioned at the back of the room to open up the furniture and make it more visible. However, it is possible to have a coffee table in front of a sofa or armchair, or even in the middle of the room if you like. The coffee table must be placed somewhere in between the main furniture.
The selection of furniture in the room plays a significant role in deciding where the coffee table should be placed. This way, you can keep the room’s overall layout in mind while keeping your layout simple and beautiful. To start, consider the position of all furniture in your living room. A mid-sized coffee table should fit comfortably between the sofa and a recliner if you have enough space for a coffee table.
