Couch

Getting the right table for your living room is anything but easy and requires serious thinking. Of course, getting one of the first you see will not help you as you need to consider several ones in order to get the best one that matches everything in the room.

Apart from that, you want to get the comfortable one, like some of the Zen Space Desks Australia models that are “ergonomic” and good for the health of your back. In any case, we will give you the basic tips you should follow in order to get the best one for your living room.

Start with the height

Like in everything, you need to find the optimal size/height that first your room while matches well with the interior décor. No one likes to see a nice coffee table that is too high or too low. It not only looks odd but also makes you hard to sit and enjoy behind the table. The best way to start is to find a table that is the same height as your cushions on the couch/sofa. This way, you ensure the appropriate height in terms of aesthetical design and your health.

Take into consideration the dimensions

Yes, the dimensions are very important, as the too large table may look bad in comparison to other pieces of furniture inside the room. Once you get the table of the appropriate height, the next step is to find the one that has the right length and width.

If we could find an orientation that you should follow, your coffee table should be two-thirds the overall length of your couch. Still, the best way is to take a look and imagine it in your room to see if it fits well.

Have enough space between the table and couch

Do not buy a rectangular table that is really big and does not allow you to have enough space between the couch and the table. Some universal rule is that the coffee table should be some 12 inches away from the couch in order to ensure enough space.

If you have less than that, you will block yourself space and will not be able to move around freely. It is not the point to have a big table and block your way, but rather have the table that allows you to move around quickly.

Get the right color and design

The last thing is the color of the table and its overall design that must be matched with the rest of the interior. The look of the rest of your furniture gives you the best description of the type of table that will fit in the best. If you have a couch that has tiny legs, you do not wat a table that has chunky legs, but rather the one with the smaller ones, preferably shorter. The overall design must be a harmony of all pieces of furniture and the wrong table can make a huge mistake. Choose wisely!
