coffee tables: how to choose

The coffee table has many purposes. It can complete the entire look you're envisioning, be used for storage, display any decor you love, to join together with your loved ones, to enjoy some of your favorite appetizers and celebrate happy hour, to sit down with a delicious cup of coffee, or keep your selection of must read books. No matter the meaning behind your coffee table, this should be a piece that you find functional and beautiful to keep bringing those moments of joy it brings time after time.

Before any decision making, you must start with a budget in mind. Are you wanting to splurge or save? Like everything else, any furniture can be very expensive. We wanted to help you out by giving you a range of options to select from that will fit within your budget.

Shape: are you aspiring for a round or square coffee table? This truly depends on the dimensions of the room, what size or style sofa or sectional you are looking to place with it, the style you're wanting to achieve, and other accent pieces that will be in the space.

Material: metal, glass, steel, wood, even cement. Coffee tables can come in a wide variety of different materials and finishes including marble! Selecting a material can be a very important factor to consider when picking out your table. Do you want it to look sleek and glam, or are you looking for something more durable to withstand those spills (we know kids can be messy).

More than one? Yes! You can totally have more than one table to form a cluster of table space. This can be done with bunching tables or even use different sized garden stools to give a tiered effect that could really make your space have a uniqueness to it!

How to style: styling we know can be one of the biggest challenges to most when it comes to home decor. Some simple items that can spruce up your coffee table can be florals, stacked books, vases, chachkies, decor bowls, taper candles, if there is space, storage baskets, plants, etc. When it comes to styling a coffee table, we try to keep it simple and let the table speak for itself. You don't want to over crowd, especially when you have guests over you want to have optimal space for those apps and drinks!
