Why is a coffee table a must-have in the living room?

A coffee table is a piece of furniture that, despite its inconspicuous size, plays a very practical role. Coffee tables and benches provide comfort and convenience while e.g. watching TV or relaxing on the couch. Check out our blog, where we write why a coffee table is an essential element of living room or living room design.

How to choose the right coffee table?

Choosing the right coffee table can depend on a variety of factors, such as the style of the interior, the space available, functionality, and personal preferences. When choosing a coffee table, it is important to take into account your own preferences and functional needs so that the table does its job well in your interior. Or maybe it’s worth choosing a set of tables? Here are some tips that can help you during this process:

• Size and proportions: Make sure the coffee table is proportional to the rest of the furniture in the room. Pay attention to the available space. The table should not be too large or too small in relation to the rest of the equipment.
• Style: Choose a coffee table that matches the overall style of the interior. It can be modern, classic, rustic, industrial, etc. You can also opt for a table that fits in with specific décor trends if that’s important to you. It is also important that the coffee table matches the rest of the furniture in the interior.
• Materials: Choose materials that are compatible with other furnishings in the room. For example, if you have wooden furniture, a wood coffee table can be a good choice.
• Functionality: If you need extra storage space, consider a coffee table with a shelf or drawers. A coffee table can also be used as other furniture, such as a laptop table or a place to store remote controls.
• Height: The coffee table should be close to the height of the seat of the couch or armchairs to make it easier to access the table surface.
• Shape: The shape of the table can be a matter of preference and available space. Round coffee tables can work well in smaller rooms, while rectangular ones can fit into larger spaces.
• Color: Choose the color of your coffee table so that it harmonizes with the rest of the colors in the room. You can choose a contrasting color or the same as the rest of the furniture. You can order wood color samples to choose the right color.

 

 

How do you make coffee tables match your interior décor?

Coffee benches and coffee tables are versatile pieces of furniture that can be used to place a variety of items depending on the room’s preferences and functions. Check out some ideas on what to put on the bench:

• Decorations: Decorative items such as vases, figurines, candlesticks, or photo frames can add an aesthetically pleasing look to your coffee table.
• Books: A stack of books or albums on the bench can not only be a practical solution, but also add character to the interior.
• Flowers and plants: A vase of flowers or small pots of plants can add freshness and natural beauty.
• Newspapers and magazines: If the bench is located in a relaxation area, place the latest magazines or newspapers on it.
• Board games: If the room serves as a living room or family room, the bench can be a place to play board games. A rectangular coffee table will work best for this.
• Laptops or tablets: If you use the bench as a table for work or play, you can place your laptop, tablet, or reading books on it.
• Drinking accessories: Place an elegant tea or coffee set on the bench if you like to enjoy your drinks in a calm atmosphere.
• Seasonal decorations: Depending on the season, seasonal decorations such as Christmas decorations, summer lanterns or autumn pumpkins can be placed on the bench.

 

 

 

A coffee table tailored to you!

Tailoring a coffee table to your needs requires taking into account many factors, such as lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, available space, and functionality. Here are a few questions that can help you determine which coffee table will best suit your needs:

• What interior style does your taste suit into? Do you prefer modern, classic, rustic or Scandinavian style? By choosing a table that harmonizes with the style of the interior, you will get a consistent visual effect. If your living room has loft-style accessories, go for an IBSEN coffee table, for example.
• How much space is available? Measuring the available space will help you determine the right dimensions for your table. Make sure the table is not too big or too small in relation to the rest of the room. Remember that we offer custom-made coffee tables.
• What is the main function of a coffee table? Will you mainly use it for coffee, or will it be used as a storage space, for example with additional shelves or drawers?
• Do you need extra storage space? If you want to store magazines, remote controls, or other knick-knacks on your coffee table, consider a coffee table with extra space, such as shelves or drawers. An interesting solution is the ASTOR fold-out bench with an opening top.
• What is the height of your couch or armchairs? Make sure the height of the table is close to the seat height of the couch or armchairs for easy access to the coffee table surface. Also, remember about the appropriate distance between the table and a comfortable sofa or couch.
• Do you care about mobility? If you want to be able to move the table easily, consider a model with wheels. We create designer coffee tables that we tailor to the individual requirements of the customer, so if you need a mobile bench – we will make it for you.
