Coffee Table Ideas Please!

5 years ago

I would like some advice on coffee table options. I really like round but I am not sure of the element (wood, glass, metal) as most of these already exist in the space. I would like something appropriate for the size of the area, the rug is 9x12. Thank you for your help!

if Keeping rug turned the chairs need to be pulled back so only front legs are on the rug..this will give you more space for a coffee table...I think you need some pillows that pull that navy blue into the mix..maybe some of that rust in the rug with blues will pull it together..not crazy about the dusty pink pillow..take your 4 main colors..navy,ivory, rust and light teal..repeat each color three times in the room..it will help create overall balance...do not introduce another color into the mix.

you need 2 more items that are navy..Lumbars in a navy print for ivory chairs..add rust pillows to sofa

ivory is good..rug...chairs...fur

You need 1 more rust colored elements good for in art if possible.

you need 1 more of the light teal blue

What you've done thus far looks lovely, the dining room is yummy. Most of the living room is done well but I have a little issue with the balance of the room. In the photo ,looking straight on to the sofa, I see that it's not centered on the wall and the chevron pattern chair seems crowded. Is it possible to center the couch and move your heirloom between the two windows to another spot. Take the chevron chair and put it at an angle up near the window more to the right of the window. Then take your heirloom piece and place it to the left of the sofa. Just a suggestion.

A large square coffee table for practical purposes as you have no other tables and suggest a light and airy design like below and accessorize. The brass compliments your mirror also Not sure how far along you are or if you would like additional suggestions. Hope the ideas below help. Accessorize mantle, as mirror needs some dressing up. Light rug to ground room and add complimentary cushions - A floor lamp, as it looks like you don’t have low lighting. - If you can, it would be great to add shelving or framed prints above small cabinets on both sides of fireplace. ....As long as you create interest

It’s a great lamp. I’d still put something to soften the impact of the side of the speaker, like the plant that is visible in the picture in the other room. This room is actually modern, not rustic. I would go with some visible metal in the coffee table. I think this floor lamp might look nice between your chairs two rectangles of rugs in a solid color would look nice i think. Or if you wanted drama, this might do it

so you don't have to do grey tones. in the dining table picture there are warmer wood tones. if you did something closer to those tone, it would add more interest. Also it would pop/make the grey pop. it will still have flow. some examples below

Wonderful! The frame looks so beautiful..really gives it a high end style! Pulls the warmth from your woven blinds and floors.:) Merry Christmas!

I think you need one more touch of that gold in the picture in perhaps a pillow on the sofa to tie that color in a bit more. Glad you are happy and the framing is a big plus!

I agree about the gold element! I tried yellow and it doesn’t seem to work to me. I think maybe I will get a gold coffee table. Unless that is too much gold! I like these ones because of the oval shape. 46 long by 22 wide so a little narrow but will allow easy pass through around it?

No yellow doesn’t work. The oval table would work. If you keep the art, i think you need to rework the sofa pillows a bit. Might incorporate some animal prints if that doesn’t offend you. Doesn’t have to be real but faux could work. I think i would take all the pillows off and get a couple with the golds/wheat color from the art and start with getting the gold tied in. You don’t need every color in your room so less is more to keep the art the star.

Kind of funny we are back to your original dilemma coffee table! A large square might work well. We talked about this a while back. What is distance again between sofa and chairs?

Do you have your small cubes..are they 18” would work great along side of a rectangle table....can be used with your chairs or in front of fireplace..I have mine along side my coffee table and use them all the time..we love them..

yes we need the measurement/distance between sofa and chairs..I think we did this and that is why you purchased the 36” round table but could be recalling it wrong??

Finally think I found the coffee table that fits the space. Rattan to warm up the room a little and I like it better as a natural element. It is 49 inches long and 25 wide. I think it will be ok though not as wide as I would have liked as I have another small wood table for the pair of chairs across from the couch!

What about something like this? I’m not finding a ton of rectangular tables that are that wide, but a lot of squares. This is 42 inches around

You could do two tables since you have the space or longer nesting tables.
