A coffee table is a long low-lying table placed in front of a sofa or loveseat to create additional storage space. It can tie room decor together and add both style and function. These accent tables come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Staples® offers many coffee tables and other home and office furniture to suit almost any need.
Places That Benefit From a Coffee Table
For families and individuals that like to entertain, a living room table provides a place to casually serve drinks and snacks. Position an occasional table in front of the TV to hold remotes and gaming controllers. Solid wood coffee tables blend in with other furnishings to complete the look of a room while tables with stone tops deliver lasting use and are easier to clean.
Accent tables like end tables offer a space to hold a lamp or favorite family photographs, while tables with drawers help eliminate clutter from papers and other small objects. Choose a storage coffee table with plenty of cubbies and shelves to keep blankets and other objects off the floor and stored neatly and hidden from view from guests.
Available Choices for Coffee Tables
When choosing an accent table, match it with end tables and other furnishings for a clean and cohesive appearance. A slim profile table takes up little room and leaves space to walk. Lift-top tables serve as a workspace for hobbies, putting puzzles together, or for use as a writing table. Tables made from recycled materials are ideal for those who prefer eco-friendly designs.
Opt for light and natural-colored wood to brighten up a room or choose deep cherry or dark browns for a classic appearance. Use an unfinished table and paint it to match existing decor or select laminate-coated tables that are easy to clean and care for.
What Is the Optimal Height for a Coffee Table?
When measuring for a coffee table, measure from the floor to the top of your sofa cushions. The table should be the same height as the sofa cushions or at least one to two inches lower to make it easy to access. The standard height for a table is around 16 to 18-inches in height, but a plush and taller sofa requires a table that is also taller.
What Size Is Best for a Living Room Coffee Table?
The correct size coffee table provides a balanced appearance to a living area. The table should measure approximately two-thirds of the length of your sofa. A living room table that is too large or too small will throw off the look of a room.
What's the Difference Between a Coffee Table and a Cocktail Table?
A cocktail table and a coffee table are terms that are often used interchangeably. A coffee table is traditionally round or oval and made sturdier to hold heavy objects, while a cocktail table is square or rectangular and slightly daintier in appearance. Cocktail tables got their name because they were most commonly used to serve drinks and books. Coffee tables got their names for holding coffee serving sets as well as books and keepsakes.
