Every living room, in addition to comfortable furniture and interesting accessories, needs a coffee table. It should emphasize the style of the room and decorate the interior. However, let's not forget that it should also be practical and functional, but it's also worth paying attention to its size and character. So, how to choose the perfect coffee table?

Emphasize the character of the interior

When choosing the perfect coffee table for our living room, we should match it to the style in which the room is decorated. It's good for the furniture to harmonize with the arrangement, creating a cohesive whole. We can opt for a table whose style perfectly fits the interior or one that has a more neutral character. In most rooms, a white, handy table with a round top, on three or four wooden legs, which you can find in the Pepco chain of stores, will work great.

Scandinavian style in the living room

Fashionable and modern interiors are very often decorated in the Scandinavian style. It is dominated by minimalism, subdued colors, and numerous references to nature. White and gray are the basic colors used in the Scandinavian style, which make the rooms cozy and bright at the same time. Stronger colors are reserved for accessories, which most often have a simple form and interesting texture. In Pepco, you can find cushions and curtains in typical Scandinavian patterns – herringbone, cubes, and squares, which will emphasize the style of the living room. You can also buy unique pictures, frames in various sizes, and lamps that fit such an interior.

A round, white coffee table from the Pepco chain will perfectly fit into the minimalist Scandinavian style, and the wooden legs will be a typical reference to nature. It is light and handy, so we can easily change its place and purpose.

Industrial and modern coffee table for the living room

A modern and industrial coffee table will also be a fashionable addition to the living room. It is usually made of metal and wood or glass, which reflects the post-industrial style. A great solution would be a round coffee table with a metal, wire base and a wooden top. Check where in Pepco you can buy a coffee table for the living room in this style, which also offers storage possibilities. Simply lift the top and put, for example, magazines or books inside the base. This is a convenient and functional 2-in-1 solution, which will not only serve as a modern coffee table but also help organize the space.

In Pepco stores, we can also find wire baskets, lanterns, and shelves that will perfectly complement the style of the coffee table. By choosing a few elements with a wire motif, the interior will be cohesive and gain a unique character.

The size of the coffee table matters

Before buying a coffee table, let's think about its purpose. It's worth determining whether we will be entertaining guests at it or if it will mainly serve as a decorative element. If we often serve coffee and tea in the living room, we will choose furniture with a larger top – so that it can accommodate the entire snack. This will avoid the risk of spilling drinks and make guests feel more comfortable. If the table will be used mostly by one person, we can opt for a smaller one.

A good solution will also be a coffee table from Pepco, whose top is in the form of a tray. Its edges are finished with a rim, so items placed on the table will not fall off. This is a functional solution, especially when there are small children or pets at home who often knock over cups with drinks. In such a situation, the liquid will not spill beyond the surface of the top and will not stain the carpet.

Living room size vs. coffee table size

The size of the living room where we want to place the furniture is also important. In smaller rooms, small and handy coffee tables will work perfectly, while in larger ones, we can opt for rectangular furniture in a larger size. Placing two identical tables can also be a good solution to increase the tabletop surface. Twin furniture will add charm to the interior and will be a unique idea for arrangement. We can opt for metal, modern tables in two heights, which are available in the Pepco chain of stores. Here we can also buy two identical round tables that can hold more cups of coffee.

What else is worth remembering when choosing a coffee table?

To increase the comfort of using the coffee table, let's also pay attention to its height. It should be adapted to the seating furniture that decorates our living room. Usually, it is about 45-55 cm. The distance between the table and the sofa or armchair, as well as the TV, is also important. Free movement between furniture will be guaranteed by a space of about 45 cm between the seating and about 80 cm between the RTV equipment.

In living rooms with various types of seating, such as a sofa, armchair, poufs, round and subtle tables will work perfectly. This shape of furniture is fashionable, handy, and adds charm to the room. When most of the furniture has straight lines, we can opt for a square or rectangular top to emphasize the functionality of the living room. However, this does not mean that a round coffee table will not work in such an interior; on the contrary – it can break the style a bit and give it a unique character.
