Coffee Table/End Tables for Living Room

8 years ago

We have a area rug that fades from white to black, and then we have a very dark brown couch with orange pillows, an orange accent chair and a black and cherry wood chair/stool (ikea).
We cannot find a suitable coffee table/end table. Any suggestions would be great. We have been searching on overstock.

What's the issue with the tables you have found and rejected?

Off the top of my head, you could try a wrought iron base with either a glass or stone top. You might want to have one of the tables be round or oval, to offset all the squared off, rectangular furniture in the room.

What metal is the floor lamp? (I can't make it out.) You could also look for tables with legs in that color metal, to help the lamp blend in to the rest of the room.

I like the personality of your room. I'd want to figure out a better way for the furniture to form a more cozy conversation area. Since you have the rug centered on the window, which looks good, I think I'd move the couch out from the wall and put a sofa table behind it with a lamp or two. People can/will use it for placing drinks/stuff, but it's a little awkward. Then you could move your two chairs a bit forward on the rug and they'd all relate to each other better.

Do you have a preference for materials? I thought immediately of a simple glass coffee table, maybe with an iron frame?

or maybe 2 "bunching tables" so they can be moved easily to accommodate guests:

or:

I thought something turquoise would really complement the orange, perhaps in the sofa table or lights? Something like this would be great at one end of the couch although this is red...but orange or turquoise or ?

ETA: maybe something on the lines of these - for fun?

There's a cool orange one here:

Maybe change up the shape for an end table or two, perhaps simple and small and round - maybe the sofa table or end tables to match the wood in the poang?

What do I do for ottomans/coffee table(s) in this living room?

Actually, it's your sofa on the left facing the chairs and possibly the love seat that need a table. The sofa facing the love seat has tables on each side therefore one in front isn't really necessary. You could take the table from your last layout, rotate it and place it closer to the sofa facing the chairs. Place a small table (very small) or garden stool to the right of the love seat for that person to place a drink on. Another option would be two storage ottomans that can be moved around depending on where someone is sitting. If the tops are firm enough a glass can be set on them when your feet aren't!! ;)

It's crazy how one thing leads to another and then another and before you know it, this project gets totally out of hand and so confusing LOL!! Your place is beautiful! Love your couch and chairs. I agree with so many of the posts, except for Cpaul!! No need to be rude! A larger picture rather than a gallery above the couch would have more punch, IMO and maybe do the picture gallery over the sideboard. Coffee table you picked will also look great. I would also recommend trying to square off the chairs instead of having them at an angle as someone suggested. Curious to see how that would look, I would love to see some cushions on the couch to compliment the colour of the chairs. Also, I love your cabinet/sideboard but I would glam it up with crystal knobs and also add some glitz items on the top, such as a white vase, glass candle holders or some white/grey small pots with succulents, maybe in a tray. I also like the idea suggested of heavier/fuller curtains. If you're a sewer, you could line them to give them more weight. Of course, nothing is carved in stone. At the end of the day, it's your place and so long as you love it that's all that matters. Also, enjoy the process!! Looking forward to more pics.

Tiny living room-one coffee table or two side tables?

I think it is a bit of overkill to have both, especially since they tend to hang out in matched sets. It depends on what kind of entertaining you do. If your guests are likely to turn up the music and need some space to dance, then the coffee table would be in the way. Even if you think you need end tables because you want to increase your lighting with lamps, you can put a pair of matched floor lamps at each end of the sofa and use a coffee table. If you're likely to need extra seating more often than a surface for drinks, an ottoman that can be topped with a tray or used for seating might be best. If your style is very formal to antique, then all three tables might work for you. Be sure end tables arrive 1" above or below the sofa's arms. When topped with lamps, the lamps should reach 58-64" above the floor. Coffee tables should be 12-18" from the seating to be useful, and arrive 1" above or below the sofa seat. Keep it within 2/3 of the sofa's length and half its width.

I like aimeekm's suggestions. I was going to suggest haunting Craigslist for some sleek mid-century tables similar to those in her links. I like adding something older with mostly-new furnishings. Something like below, which is on my Craigslist for $75.
