Things to Consider When Buying a Coffee Table

To make shopping for a traditional coffee table easier, consider these features of a table for your home: 

• Style: A traditional coffee table will suit a contemporary home with wood accents well. 
• Size: Consider the size of the room and the couch that will be on it to choose the best size. Make sure that you have 12 – 18 inches of space between your coffee table and the furniture by it. This helps people and animals to be able to pass through easily.
• Shape: Choose from square, round, rectangle, or hexagon shapes. 
• Height: Always choose a coffee table that is 1 – 2 inches above the seat of the couch for the best fit. 

Length: Your coffee table should ideally be about two-thirds of the length of your sofa. Anything that is larger than that may make the room seem cluttered.
