The coffee table: the indispensable object of the show

Without it, the living room would not be the living room! This is obvious but can quickly turn into the puzzle. A coffee table is not so easy to choose. According to the modes in deco, the models succeed one another: one had a big period teak table, now the trundles lead the dance. In duo or in three, we see more and more small trays that entangle or disintegrate at will. On the material side, the wood remains a safe bet, but the plexiglass pulls out of the game with panache because it brings a touch of design to modern salons. Finally, color is also needed more and more on tables often lacquered. In this jungle of coffee table, how to choose?

How to choose a coffee table?

First of all it is important to harmonize the style of the coffee table with the rest of the living room.

- For the Scandinavian style , better to favor the neutral colors and the wood.

- For industrial decoration , a coffee table with raw materials such as raw wood, steel and metal are preferable.

- In a slightly refined decor , the glass coffee table contributes to the impression of lightness.

In addition to the desired decorative style, you should also take into account the height of the coffee table: it should not be higher than the sofa.
