Coffee and side tables play a vital role in setting the ambiance of your living area, effortlessly blending practicality with visual appeal. Finding the perfect one to complement your space requires a balance of functionality, style, and personal taste. Take into consideration the dimensions of your space, the materials that resonate with your decor, and your personal needs.

When selecting coffee and side tables to work with existing furniture, consider materials that fit your lifestyle and room decor. Ensure the coffee table's length is about two-thirds of the sofa's length, and its height matches the sofa seat. Maintain 12 to 18 inches of space between the coffee table and sofa and 24 to 30 inches between the coffee table and other furniture for easy movement. Calculate the coffee table's width by measuring the distance between the sofa and the TV stand, then subtracting 42 inches. These considerations will help you find the perfect coffee and side tables for your space.
When it comes to choosing the shape of your coffee table, start off by considering the type of sofa you have. We recommend a single base (horizontal sofa) to opt for an oval or rectangular table, while a round or square table tends to complement sectional or L-shaped sofas better do not feel you have to restrict yourself to these guides, choose what works best for your personal taste and style.

When buying any piece of furniture, it's important to consider your lifestyle and how you plan to use it. If you need storage, opt for a table with storage compartments. If you like to entertain and host a lot, choose a larger table with lots of surface space. If you tend to put up your feet, consider ottomans or upholstered benches.
Oval: Oval coffee tables strike a perfect balance between form and function. They facilitate movement and provide a generous surface area for storage. With no sharp edges, oval tables are particularly suitable for households with children, offering a safe and kid-friendly option.
Round: A round coffee table can be really inviting to guests and large families who may want to occasionally eat around the coffee table while watching a movie.
Square coffee tables are known for their practicality. The even dimensions make them highly functional, providing ample surface area for placing drinks, snacks, and decorative items. They can also accommodate multiple seating areas, making them versatile for various seating arrangements.

Side tables are the perfect addition if you're looking to create a reading corner with a lamp or need a handy surface for small objects, especially in space-constrained areas. They snugly fit alongside sofas or armchairs, ensuring that your cup or plate is always within reach for added convenience.
Ottomans: Ottomans are great for doubling as a coffee table and a footrest. You can easily add a small tray to create a flat surface for when you need it.

For small living rooms, round or oval coffee tables are ideal as they have a smaller footprint and eliminate sharp corners that can obstruct traffic flow, while also creating a sense of openness and fluidity. Another option is rectangular or square coffee tables with clean lines and slim profiles, maximizing surface area while maintaining a sleek look.

When selecting coffee and side tables for large living spaces, opt for substantial and visually impactful designs. Consider oversized coffee tables or multiple smaller tables arranged together to fill the space without overwhelming it. Additionally, explore unique shapes, with bold lines or unconventional geometric designs, to add visual interest and break up the expanse of the space.
