need help with coffee table suggestion

2 years ago

Hi, I need help with deciding what size coffee table and rug will work with this area. I also need some art work or some type of decorative piece above the sofa. What do you think would look best? Round, square table? I was thinking of getting a black table since our tv stand is black.
There’s 68 inches between the chaise and sofa.

I think round or oval 32" would work. Pull the sectional off the wall a little bit so you can hang panels on the window

May be just an issue with the photo but the wall covering behind the basket looks to be poorly installed. I would pull the sectional forward to cover that, place the floor lamp in the right corner and buy a sofa table to put between the sofa and window. I'd want the rug to slip completely under the chaise portion and then under the front 1/3 of the 4-seat section. I would select a round table. If you get a pretty patterned rug that you want to see, use a glass and metal table.

Can you post a link? Two things to take into account with future purchases. --Make sure the wood in the coffee table harmonizes with your wood floors. --The room is small, so something up on legs won't take up as much visual space as a solid coffee table, ottoman, or trunk. Can't tell from your photos if the floor trends toward driftwood or golden oak, but a variation of something like this, or a glass table if you get a great rug will work. P.S. Changed my mind about position of the print chair in the corner. It might look more welcoming to have it face into the room within reach of your future coffee table.

What do you think about these?
The living room opens up to the kitchen which is white. Our tv is mounted on the wall but the console underneath it is black. Should the coffee table be black or will it look ok with a lighter color?

Would it be possible to take a photo of the room to include the three windows and the couch? So you would be standing looking directly at the windows when youre taking the picture? It would help me do a mockup for you. Thank you
