what length should my coffee table be?
I have a grey chaise (L) sectional where the full couch length is 94in but the part without chaise is only 56in (chaise is 38in wide). I want to make sure there’s enough space to get onto the chaise, and assume the coffee table should not jut out from the other edge either. *What’s the right length for a coffee table? *
The one I like is 45in, which is maybe too long? Would have to probably reach right to the edge of arm rest on side without chaise, and even then only 10in of space between chaise and table.
Any suggestions of coffee tables - not just size but also design - would be much appreciated!

Should I put a rug under my coffee table???
Comments (8)Yes, and at under the sectional and the end table. It’s not absolutely necessary, but makes things more inviting and comfortable. Your table is much too close to the sofa, and really not the right one. Maybe a small round one....See MoreShould I put a rug under my coffee table?
Comments (1)Looks great..no need for one unless you want something to be softer on your feet! It would have to be large enough to have front legs of sofa on it....so Most likely would need a 8x10....See Morewhat size should my coffee table be?
Comments (8)Before buying a coffee table, it would be great to provide a picture of the whole space; without seeing a bit more, hard to suggest appropriately, ie: perhaps seating may work better facing each other for flow and that will dictate size/shape. Keeping an L-shape, could you exchange the two if wall is longer where love seat is presently. Pull couches closer if you need to and again that will dictate table size. (It’s nicer to have couches‘ front feet on rug anyway.) What size rug did you purchase, as a small rug with large square coffee table can feel off; a smaller rectangle table may suit better. There’s lot to consider prior to buying, in order to create the best functionality and balance....See MoreHow should I refinish my coffee table?
Comments (1)I would get a really beautiful piece of cloth with great colors and handmade design in whatever style you like and put a piece of glass over it....See More

last monthThank you for the feedback! I actually found a table that was about 2/3 the width of the couch - 2/3 would’ve been 37in and mine was 39in. I love it! Appreciate the wood pictures shared, that’s the style that inspired me in the end. Now I’m deciding on artwork for behind the couch!
