Elevate your living room’s functionality and aesthetic with the ultimate design element, a coffee table from The Urban Port. They are more than just a place to put your mail or rest your drink; rather, they are the central piece of your living space that ties everything together while showing off your style and personal expression. Whether you need additional surface space for added practicality or want to curate a distinctive look for your living room, the right coffee table can improve your everyday living.
Choosing Your Shape
One of the primary elements that makes a coffee table distinctive and special is its shape. With multiple shapes and designs, each shape serves a purpose regarding form and function.
Rectangular coffee tables are a classic choice that has a shape that is tried and true. Their shape makes it easy to fit between angular furniture such as sofas and sectionals. Round and oval coffee tables are also a great choice for those who want an alternative without sharp angles and a softer look. Their shape makes them ideal for small spaces, and their lack of sharp corners can offer peace of mind for families and those with children. However, if you really want to display your personal taste and style, opt for an abstract coffee table as artistic shapes make for a fantastic design statement.
Functional Features
Many modern coffee tables go beyond offering basic surface space to place your drink and have neat features that offer utility.
-
Drawers: Many tables integrate some type of storage solution, such as drawers, which help you keep remotes, coasters, and home essentials out of sight.
-
Storage Shelves: Like drawers, some models include shelving under the table that gives easy access to your favorite items like magazines or tech accessories.
-
Lift Top: Opt for a lift top coffee table for your space if you find yourself needing elevated surface space to eat, work, or use a laptop.
-
Ottoman Coffee Table: For a practical and relaxing experience, consider buying an ottoman coffee table with its plush surface and trays to keep drinks from spilling.
Materials & Finishes
Our coffee tables by The Urban Port are available in a wide array of materials to fit your aesthetic needs and home decor. Whether you want a standout piece or something that blends in, you’ll surely find what you’re looking for. Wood coffee tables are an adaptable option that offers warmth, durability, and is available in many finishes. This makes them easy to fit in both rustic and modern interiors.
Glass, on the other hand, may be more delicate but provides an open and airy feel that works better in contemporary interiors. Glass is often paired with metal, usually for structure and legs, and adds a sleek aesthetic, which is popular among minimalist styles. For a more sophisticated look, marble coffee tables are a solid option. Their unique veining and timeless appeal make them an elegant option for upper-echelon homes.
What Size Coffee Table Should I Get For My Living Room?
A good rule of thumb to follow when selecting a table for your space is to opt for a table that is proportional to the surrounding furniture. Choosing a table that is about two-thirds the length of your sofa is a great way to get a table that not only fits but remains functional. Additionally, ensure that the table sits about an inch or two lower than your seat cushions while maintaining about 16 to 20 inches between the coffee table and surrounding furniture for mobility.
Can I Use a Coffee Table In A Small Room?
Of course, you can. Depending on the size and shape of the room, you have a few options that can work for you.
-
Glass or acrylic tables have a lighter visual footprint that makes them seem smaller and less bulky.
-
Round and oval tables have a softer look and, because of the lack of corners, they also save space and allow for easy movement.
-
Nesting coffee tables are a fantastic option. Usually available in sets of 2 or 3, these nesting tables can be brought out for practicality and then tucked away when not in use.
