Now, to help you whittle your choices down and choose the perfect coffee table, here are a few questions to ask when choosing a coffee table.

Questions to ask when choosing a coffee table

Living room or family room coffee table?

There is a difference between a living room and a family room coffee table, and it’s simply that the family coffee table receives more rough use. A more traditional coffee table is there to look the part, and is usually in the form of glass.

Family room coffee tables need to be of a sturdier material, and we recommend you invest in one with storage options such as drawers.

Will it be your centrepiece?

If your coffee table is going to be the centrepiece of your room, this will affect your choice when choosing its:

– Material

– Style

– Size

– Surface finish and colour

Which material do you prefer?

The most obvious material to think of is wood, but you don’t have to restrict yourself to wood.

– Materials such as marble or darker wood options such as walnut look great in traditional rooms

– Leather looks great in a variety of rooms and are extremely good to maintain

It’s important to take a look at the room that you have and what will look good in that room. Glass and clear acrylic will make a room look bigger.
