Need help finding the perfect coffee table? Here are some tips to find the right table for your room.
尺寸和形状
正方形、长方形、椭圆形还是圆形？正确的餐桌形状将取决于您房间的其余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).
Space your table approximately 12-18 inches away from the surrounding seating (close enough to reach your drink, or put your feet up), and leave at least 24-30 inches between the table and other furniture in the room such as your TV stand.
不确定形状和尺寸是否适合您的房间？在线订购前，用美纹纸在您的房间内标记尺寸，以查看新咖啡桌与其它家具的比例。确保您有足够的空间围绕它行走。
Material and Features
Just like with shape, consider your room's function when deciding on which material to choose.
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，有助于营造一个明亮宽敞的空间。但如果你的桌子将放置在高流量区域或孩子们活泼的房间里，你可能想要避免使用玻璃。
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 torn by claws.
Wood tables bring warmth to a space and look great in large rooms, while metal tables are a great way to balance a room already full of wood furniture.
有一个大休息区吗？试试两个桌子而不是一个！
需要额外存储空间？选择一个带有存储空间的桌子。需要额外座位？尝试在顶部放一个托盘的脚凳。
Style
You can create balance and contrast in your room by pairing opposites. For instance, pair a large solid-colored seating with a thin-framed table, or a streamlined modern sofa with a wooden or chunky table.
Looking for a fresh look? Renovate your living room by adding accessories to your coffee table. Include a colorful contemporary serving tray, a romantic candle holder, or a set of rustic baskets to keep the mess at bay.
