What is coffee table?

Our living room is the center of the house where we sit together on Saturdays. There we spend most of the day in family conversations or in front of the television. Therefore, after you have designed the living room and after you have decided which sofa fits the design style of your living room, it is time to complete the missing piece and choose a coffee table that will match the seating system of the living room. It is important to note that a coffee table is not only intended for beauty, it is also intended to be used as a place on which to place food and drinks, cracked TV screens and beer. "The design of the chair and the bar" Here are eight tips for choosing a coffee table:

The shape of the table: 

There are so many shapes and designs for a coffee table, and the choice is difficult. Therefore, you need to understand what your needs are and according to the size of the living room space you can decide what the right shape is: 

Square coffee tables - A square table will suit a large rectangular living room. For lovers of symmetry, they usually come with storage under the table.

Rectangular coffee tables -  A four-legged rectangular pallet coffee table is as classic as a Bora comic coffee table. The rectangular shape is suitable in its shape and in relation to the TV. 

Round coffee tables - A round table is very suitable for a home with children, as there are no sharp corners and it reduces the possibility of injury. Just make sure it won't be made of glass. A round coffee table is also suitable for a square living room and a small living room. 

Oval coffee tables - Like the Carib table 120. It fits any size and shape of living room, especially if the sofa is rectangular. 

Of course, there is no obligation to stick to the rules and you can choose a variety of shapes and designs. These can occupy any type and shape of living room. Everything according to your personal desire and taste.

For example, we in the design of the chair and the bar have several models of coffee tables with really cool designs, for example tables that can be pulled out from each other and can grow and shrink.

Another important thing is the table legs:

If your sofa has thick legs, consider purchasing a coffee table with thin legs, and vice versa. 

Table color:

Coffee tables come in a variety of colors that you can dream up. Choose the color that matches the design line of the living room.   

Table size: 

Everything begins and ends in proportion to the sofa. The ideal size for the table is at least half the width of the sofa to two thirds of the size of the sofa. Just don't have a small table between big sofas.

Coffee table height: 

The height of the coffee table should be at the height of the sofa seat and up to a height of 10 cm above the sofa seat. For example: if the sofa is 30 cm high, the coffee table will be from a height of 30 cm to a height of 40 cm. If you like to put your feet up on the coffee table while watching TV, take a lower and more stable style. 

The distance between the sofa and the coffee table:

The correct distance is 35-45 cm. So on the one hand you will be close and you can put food and drinks on the table and on the other hand there will be enough space for the legs. The height of the table should be the same as the height of the sofa.

storage:

What is surprising is that some of the coffee tables have the option of storing TV remotes, serving utensils, a shelf for newspapers and various other items.

A metal coffee table transmits a high-text modern style. It is suitable for young couples without children. It is difficult to clean and is easily scratched.

A solid wood table is suitable for a rustic and natural design style, but it is a bit bulky. The table goes well with raw materials and you can repair scratches or stains with sanding. Check whether the table is made of solid, high-quality and natural wood. 

Glass coffee tables: 

A glass coffee table can come with a variety of combinations such as a metal or wooden base and legs. Check that the glass plate is sturdy and does not break easily. The disadvantage is that it is easily covered with fingerprints, but on the other hand it is easy to clean. 

In the end, it is important that the material you choose is of high quality and bought in a professional store. 

practicality:

Choose a coffee table made of light raw materials. Low weight will allow you to move it easily while cleaning the living room. 

budget:

Maybe this is a tip that should have been written at the top of the article, but in the end the budget is a significant player in the field. Therefore, before you approach the store, agree with yourself what the budget is that you can afford.
