coffee table suggestions needed

2 years ago

What coffee table would look best, walnut to match the media console and bar? black, marble? I am really stumped and i do not want glass. I can show dimensions of sofa too. we will have 2 round black velvet swivel chairs on each end too. this room has a 1960's vibe

This table caught my eye as something that might be great in your room. I like that the light color doesn't make it feel too heavy in your space.

the room is dark and moody. Also, we cant have a coffee table with a flat base because of the type of radiant floor heat we have and the sensor is right where the table would be

After much thought I went with a table I saw in a model home to go with the chairs and sofa I have at this point. Table is 60x60 and works well in this big family room. My light fixture is a silver light (to be added soon), no ceiling fan in this room. Here is the room in development, need end tables, rug and lamps, shutters are on their way. Open concept showing kitchen and nook as well. Love all your suggestions and any other ideas are very helpful.... Will add in some Grey and one other minor color??????? Suggestions?

Put just the one above the TV for now. That might work with just one piece because it looks like the same width as the TV, which is a good thing :) When your console comes in and you hang the art, we can experiment with having a vase at one end to see how it looks. You aren't restricted to just wall art. You just don't want to get too busy on the wall and console. So some of this will be trial and error to get the right look. As to the love seat: it does need to move to the left if it stays in the room. If you had a smaller end table there you could probably pick up 6 to 10 inches. If both end tables were smaller then you could move the sofa down too and pick up more room on the love seat wall. Are you keeping the chair in the room? It would be ideal if you could keep the sofa on the long wall and the chair on the wall where the love seat is now and find another place in your home for the love seat. But I understand if that isn't in your plan.

wonderful room, only a few small tweaks, could really help. you do need a larger stand for your tv, can you pull it out of the corner and put it against the wall? either to the right of where it is cause i can't see there. or where the shelves are or where the chair is. i think you should pull the chair out anyway, not all your furniture needs to be against the wall. here are a couple ideas i would keep the cute little marshalls table and replace one of your side tables with it, it will give you a touch of variation. here are some other choices for coffee tables, i buy reasonable things, if you use your computer, you can hit the key and it will take you to the company. you seem averse to color, but white on black is too loud. let me try some other ones. put one on your chair and they will all match. i have others, and others in a different color if you like all should be under $25.

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.

Love your moody decor, especially the beautiful wall color! I like the idea of brass to bring some contrast. Maybe brass and marble:

Shape like track arms.... simple, not flat base.

Is floor concrete or tile? and do you think it a rustic element?

There's a smaller one, and lower priced.
