The Perfect Coffee Table

An unusual coffee table creates interest and a focal point.

The coffee table is often the first object people “see” when they enter a room. Before you select a coffee table, consider how you want it to function. - If you want to display a collection of your favorite objects or books, make sure your coffee table is large enough to accommodate these items. - If you want flexibility to move the table on occasion, don’t select a heavy marble or glass table. - Think about using two or three smaller tables that are lightweight. - If you want your room to appear larger, think about a mirrored surface. Or select a glass table that won’t hide a beautiful rug or floor. - If you want to serve food or drinks on the table, select a durable surface that can’t be easily damaged. - If you have children or seniors living with you or visiting often, avoid sharp corners. Be creative when you plan your coffee table design for maximum beauty and optimal enjoyment!  An upholstered round ottoman makes a striking coffee table. A glass coffee table can make a room appear larger.
