It always helps to have a list or set of guidelines when buying things. Thus, in choosing a coffee table for your living room, you also need to have a list of your requirements to get the exact item that you want.
Evaluate where you want the furniture to be situated and measure the area. Ideally, the coffee table should be half the size of your couch, which means you need to measure your couch, too. Give 15 inches allowance between the coffee table and the couch. It would be wise to get a longer coffee table for this will be more useful compared to a small table.
Know the purpose of the coffee table. This will guide you on the dimension of your table. A coffee table that will be used for tea must have a height of 25 inches. Coffee tables for showpieces can have a height anywhere from 11 – 16 inches.
Choosing the coffee table style. It must blend with the overall theme of your living room and must be agreeable to your taste. Your furniture is an extension of your personality, thus not everyone may agree on the same furniture. Impressing someone is not enough if you are not happy with what you have bought.
