How to choose the right coffee table?

When it comes to selecting the ideal coffee table, the journey begins with your sofa. It's a harmonious duet, and while they need not sing the same tune, they must compose a captivating melody together.

• If simplicity is your muse, explore single-color or single-material marvels like wooden coffee tables or metal coffee tables.
• Luxuriate in the opulence of marble coffee tables or enjoy the timeless elegance of a glass-top coffee table.
• In smaller quarters, an ottoman combined with a tray can double as a small coffee table.
• For those seeking both form and function, coffee tables with storage can hide ample treasures beneath the tabletop.
• For those who prize versatility, a nesting coffee table or a coffee table with a reversible top can offer infinite possibilities.

Considering the size and shape is crucial when selecting the ideal coffee table. In our collection, you'll find a delightful array of options to suit your needs, from sleek and small coffee tables for compact spaces to robust, sculptural masterpieces that make a statement. Whether you're looking for a round, oval, square, or rectangular coffee table, or you're feeling adventurous with creatively contoured and asymmetrical designs, we've got you covered.

What size should my coffee table be?

To achieve visual harmony, ensure your coffee table's length is no more than two-thirds of your sofa's expanse – often, less is more. Common coffee table widths span from roughly half a meter to a meter.

Height, on the other hand, is a matter of personal preference. As a guiding principle, your coffee table should align with or gently dip below your sofa's seating level, creating a serene ensemble.
