8 Cozy Tables for Two
See how you can create an inviting corner for coffee and conversation just about anywhere
There's something so inviting about a pint-size table flanked by a pair of stools or chairs. It seems to call out for slowing down and taking a few moments to enjoy time with friends and loved ones — a gentle break in the day. And because there's not a lot of space, effort or expense involved in setting up a little seating vignette like this, you can do it in nearly any room, on any budget. Take a look at these eight ideas for inspiration.
Metal stools stand in for chairs in this industrial-chic space. If you can't find a table small enough to suit you, consider having one made. This version was crafted from an old spool top mounted on a metal base.
This is a prime example of found space. A floating table turns an unused corner into a two-person seating area. You could easily modify the idea and tuck a similar table into a recessed nook as well.
No patio? Fake it with a bistro-style table and chairs, a grouping of potted plants, and an oversize botanical print.
These mix-and-match chairs and table come together in three-part harmony. If you have a handful of furnishings you're wondering how to use, try grouping them in such a way. You may be surprised how well they work together.
What a wonderful twist on the foot-of-the-bed bench! A pair of cafe chairs and a patinated table create a romantic place to cozy up.
Peninsulas are great for keeping kitchen guests out from underfoot, but they also double as spots for sharing a cup of coffee or a cocktail with a loved one. Consider this for a kitchen so small you can't squeeze in a freestanding table.

This setup is almost like having a private garden tucked behind the house. Strategic plantings and the partial wall make it feel a world away.
