需要帮助找到完美的咖啡桌吗？这里有一些提示，可以帮助你为房间找到合适的桌子。
尺寸和形状
正方形、矩形、椭圆形或圆形？合适的桌子形状将取决于你房间其他部分的布局以及它的整体功能。
Have small children? You'll probably want to avoid tables with sharp corners.
The ideal height for a coffee table should be the same as the seating cushions on the surrounding sofa or slightly lower (so your guests aren't reaching up to cut a slice of cheese).
将桌子与周围的座位之间保持大约12-18英寸的距离（足够近以便够到你的饮料，或者把脚翘起来），并且至少在桌子和房间内的其他家具（如电视柜）之间留出24-30英寸的距离。
Not sure if the shape and size are right for your room? Before ordering online, mark off the dimension in your room with painters tape to see the scale of your new coffee table to the rest of the furniture. Ensure you have enough space to walk around it.
材料和特性
就像形状一样，在决定选择哪种材料时，要考虑房间的功能。
玻璃桌子是展示下方特色地毯的绝佳方式。这些桌子易于维护，有助于营造明亮宽敞的空间。但如果你的桌子将放在人流量大的区域或孩子们活泼的房间里，你可能想避免使用玻璃。
Does your dog jump up to grab a bite from the cheese and cracker tray while you entertain guests? You may want to avoid upholstered fabric tables that could get ripped by claws.
Wood tables bring warmth to a space and looks great in large rooms, while metal tables are a great way to balance a room already full wood furniture.
有大型座位区吗？试试用两张桌子代替一张！
Need extra storage? Choose a table with storage space. Need extra seating? Try an ottoman with a tray on top instead.
Style
You can create balance and contrast in your room by pairing opposites. For instance, pair up a large solid coloured seating with a thin framed table, or a streamlined modern sofa with a wood or chunky table.
