Saks Corner: Choosing The Right Coffee Table For Your Home

A coffee table is such a small yet powerful design element in a room. It offers endless styling potential to make a room come to life. This is why we’re sharing some of our favourite picks now available from Saks Corner. Here’s what you need to consider when choosing the perfect table for your space…

Size and Shape

Every room is different, and your coffee table should work to complement the space in the best way possible. In smaller rooms, round nesting tables are often a great choice. Simply stack them to maximise space when not in use, and separate them into individual tables when you’re entertaining. In bigger rooms, you have a little more free reign to choose a size and shape that you love. However, a small table may feel out of place in a large room, so be sure to measure up and choose a size that works best.

Tables also come in a whole variety of shapes, from circles and ovals to rectangles, curved tops and more! The most popular choice of table, however, is certainly the rectangular one. Placed next to a couch or armchair, the straight lines of a rectangular table have the power to create a streamlined look and fit perfectly into a square or rectangular room. But let’s not overlook the other shapes. If you want to add intrigue but not overwhelm your room, try a different shape of table to add a little contrast and playfulness!

Materials and Finishes

Whether wood, metal, steel or even stone, the right coffee table offers style and durability in any finish. We particularly love a blend of finishes. For example, a wooden base with a glass top makes for a contemporary look. Natural wood with gorgeous metallic legs is another winner in our books! A perfect table for an industrial-styled living space!

Whatever your choice, be sure that your coffee tables serve you well. In a family home, for example, be sure to choose a finish that is easy to clean and maintain, and one that little fingers won’t easily damage and destroy! Wood is always a timeless look and offers a depth of warmth to any room! So, if in doubt, choose a beautiful wooden table that you can style as you see fit!
