Height
The right height of your coffee table depends on how high your sofa seats are. Your table needs to be approximately one or two inches higher than the cushions of your sofa. High sofa seats with low tables or low sofa seats with high tables are odd combinations to have in your living room. The same goes with outdoor and cafeteria tables. You need to ensure that the table you choose comes with a height that makes it comfortable with the chairs in your cafeteria.
Length
Now the length of your coffee table should come up to the length of two third of your sofa. So, a long table would be an odd one if you have a small love seat or a small square shaped table would be odd if you have a large couch. Avoid using large outdoor and cafeteria tables if the garden or backyard that you want to place it in is small.
Placing It Right
So, now that you have a table with the right dimensions, you need to ensure that you place it the right way. The ideal space between your sofa and coffee table needs to be 12 to 18 inches and not more or less. However, you can have lesser space if your living room is long and narrow with lesser walking space.
For Aquarium Lovers
If you are the kind that likes aquariums but do not have enough space in your house for one, a coffee table aquarium would be a good solution. Choose a size that does not make your living room look stuffy. In this way, you also get a chance to admire the fish in your aquarium more than you would if you had it placed in that corner of your room.
Decorating Your Table
Having an elegant table at the center of your living room with nothing but your remote controls and today’s newspaper on it is not a pretty sight. Your coffee table is what catches the eyes of guests when you enjoy a conversation. Make it look warm and beautify it with a flower vase or an album that guests can flip through.
