How to Choose the Right Coffee Table?

Firstly, assess the size of your room - Is your living room small or spacious? Are you planning to fill the space with side tables or do you prefer one larger coffee table? This is the first step to choosing the right table size.

Define the role of the table in the lounge and the needs of the inhabitants. This will make it easier to decide on its size and functions. If you need space for snacks or a flower pot, a small table is sufficient. If you plan to entertain guests, it's better to opt for a larger piece of furniture.

How to Match the Size and Height of the Table?

• The table shouldn't be too large to overwhelm a small space, nor too small to get lost in a spacious living room.

• The ideal height of the table should match the height of the sofa or armchairs that will be placed around it.

• It is assumed that the height of the coffee table should be slightly lower than the height of the seat of the armchairs or sofa (S).

• A tabletop placed 2 - 5 cm lower ensures comfortable use.

• The optimal height of a side table is between 45 and 75 cm, preferably equal or slightly higher than the height of the armrest (A).

• The height of the table allows for comfortable placement of books and decorative items without obstructing the view.

• The distance between the table and the seating ensemble should be at least 45 cm to ensure easy passage and comfortable seating.
