Coffee Tables FAQ
Where should a coffee table be placed in a living room?
While coffee tables are traditionally centered in front of a sofa, there are opportunities for other configurations depending on a living room's layout. What's most important is creating balance without impeding traffic flow in the room. To make the table accessible to all without compromising flow, place it between two armchairs or facing sofas.
What is the ideal distance between a coffee table and seating?
The ideal distance between a coffee table and seating is 16 to 18 inches. This allows enough room to comfortably accommodate legs while sitting and space to walk around easily. And, most importantly, it's just enough distance to grab drinks and snacks from the table.
How do I choose the right size coffee table?
The right size for a coffee table should be at least half the length of the sofa, but no longer than two-thirds. If a sofa has a chaise lounge, use this same guidance against the horizontal section since this is where the table will be placed. The table should also be roughly the same height as the sofa.
Are round or rectangular coffee tables better?
Choosing between a round and a rectangular coffee table comes down to personal preference, the furniture around it, and the space's size. A round table is a better choice if the room is small or if the sofa has a chaise. A round table will fit beautifully in that nook while also balancing the rectangular shape of the couch. Consider a rectangular or oval coffee table to pair with a standard sofa, or for a high-traffic living room.
