You would think it is easy to pick out the perfect coffee table for your lounge, right?
But once you start looking, you might find there are many more decisions in picking the right coffee table than meets the eye. First, it needs to be the right size, in terms of length and width, but also height! A rule that helps simplify this in your lounge is that your coffee table should usually be about two-thirds the length of your sofa.
But what about height? It can be very awkward to have a coffee table that’s too high or too low to place things on, so try looking for something that is the same height as your couch or a little lower. The shape of your coffee table is really up to you and your preferences. You could stick to something that is plain and square if it fits just right, or opt for something round when you don’t have perfect symmetry in the room to throw the eye.
