As many styles as materials
Your choice of coffee table material will determine the atmosphere of your living room. Give free rein to your imagination and sensations. Wood, warm and timeless, adapts easily to a cocooning universe or a minimalist decor. Whether light or dark, make sure you don't mix too many different types of wood, or you risk creating a busy environment. Coffee tables can also be used in an industrial style, mixing raw wood and black-painted metal to extend a kitchen, for example, when it's open to the living room. Extremely practical and modern, plastic can be used in a wide variety of colors and designs. If you're looking for a more airy ambience, opt for a glass table. Although more fragile, it remains a safe bet for interior design. Transparent and light, it goes well with both modern and classic styles. It's the perfect touch of elegance for your living room. Many manufacturers also offer tables in more original materials, such as steel, linoleum or cardboard. And marble is making a comeback, adding a sober, uncluttered touch to your interior. Each material has its own maintenance requirements. White plastic is easier to maintain than untreated wood or a glass table, which require more attention. Depending on your intended use, you'll need to factor this criterion into your choice.
Dimensions, shapes and functions of your coffee table
Choose the size and shape of your coffee table according to the space available, always bearing in mind the space needed to move around the room. Whether it's large enough to host aperitif dinners or meal trays, with drawers and flip-up tops for added functionality, or very minimalist to simply complement your living room décor, the choice depends on your lifestyle. The round shape is very appropriate for a fairly large room, as it will occupy the central space and be surrounded by the other furniture. If you're short on space, nesting tables may be a solution, as their modularity is so extensive. The rectangular shape is the most common, often with two superimposed tops for practical storage. This shape works well with a corner sofa and, when long and slender, provides support for all guests without taking up too much space. Square tables add character to your living room with their solid, solid appearance. Simply choose the size of the tabletop surface according to the room and other furniture, so that it fits in perfectly with your decor.
