There’s a wide range of materials to choose from when looking for a coffee table to suit all personal tastes and decors. For something traditional and timeless, wood coffee tables are a great choice and extremely durable. If you room has more of a contemporary aesthetic, glass coffee tables and mirrored coffee tables create a modern focal point and give the illusion of more space. You can also find other styles such as marble coffee tables, metal coffee tables and plastic coffee tables. 3) Do coffee tables offer extra storage space? If you are looking to maximise on storage space in your living room, look out for coffee tables with draws or additional shelves underneath. 4) What shape coffee table is best? There’s a few things to take into consideration when choosing the right shape coffee table for your room. If you have a large sofa or corner sofa, opt for a rectangle coffee table or oval coffee table so there’s room for everyone to reach the coffee table from the sofa.

Geometric coffee tables are a great choice if you are looking for something modern and contemporary to create a focal point in your room. 5) How much space should there be between a sofa and coffee table? When choosing where to place your coffee table, be sure to leave enough space between your sofa and the table to move around with ease but close enough to be able to reach anything placed on the table. The standard space to leave between a coffee table and sofa is 14-18 inches and the height of your coffee table should be no lower than 1-2 inches from the seat of your sofa. 6) How do you clean a coffee table? Depending on the material of your coffee table, there’s a few ways to keep it clean and looking brand new. For glass coffee tables, a quick clean with a damp cloth to remove any spillages followed by a lint-free cloth should leave your glass gleaming. Wood coffee tables can simply be dusted to remove any surface dirt, whereas marble coffee tables can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth and water.
