Coffee tables – maximising style in elevating your space decor

What can you use a coffee table for?

A coffee table is a small table that is meant to be placed in a sitting area and is used to keep objects like magazines, books, remote controls, and ornaments. It can also be used to set down beverages when you're sitting in the living room.

Coffee tables are a wonderful way to give your house character and design stunning interiors. However, you can also use them to save or show off some of your favourite items, like picture albums or priceless vacation mementoes. You can also put your beverages and nibbles on coffee tables while watching TV or hosting visitors. They can be used as a location to store things like candles, flowers, books, magazines, and other things you want nearby when lounging on the sofa.

Coffee tables like Hübsch are broad enough to display a set of special objects in clever setup across each surface. This is an excellent way to maximise your living room's space while still making it seem stylish and welcoming.

Where can I place a coffee table?

The combination of convenience and style of a coffee table makes it flexible for use in any room of your home. They are typically found within living rooms, placed beside a sofa or sectionals, as mentioned above.

You can also place them in larger bedrooms such as master suites. Placing them in the bedroom at the foot of the bed creates both elegance and functionality with surfaces that can hold morning beverages while also offering reading materials with space left over for decorative accents adding to its aesthetic appeal.

What is the difference between a side table and a coffee table?

Side tables and coffee tables are both types of furniture that serve specific purposes in a living room or seating area, but they differ in size, function, and placement. Here's an overview of the key differences between these two types of tables:

Side Table:

1. Size and Height: Side tables are generally smaller and more compact than coffee tables. They are designed to fit next to or beside seating furniture like sofas or armchairs.

2. Function: Side tables are used to provide a convenient surface for placing small items within arm's reach. They are ideal for holding items like drinks, books, remotes, or decorative accents.

3. Placement: Side tables are typically placed beside seating furniture to offer a place to rest items without the need to stretch or reach far. They are often positioned at the end of a sofa or between two chairs.

4. Design: Side tables come in various styles and designs, ranging from simple and minimalist to more ornate and decorative. They can complement the overall decor of the room while also being functional.

5. Versatility: Side tables can be used in various rooms beyond the living room, such as bedrooms, home offices, and even as bedside tables.

Coffee Table:

1. Size and Height: Coffee tables are larger and lower in height compared to side tables. They are meant to be placed in the center of a seating area.

2. Function: Coffee tables serve as a central gathering point in a seating area. They provide a larger surface for placing items like drinks, snacks, magazines, and decorative items. Additionally, coffee tables often have storage options like shelves or drawers.

3. Placement: Coffee tables are placed in the center of seating arrangements, typically surrounded by sofas and chairs. They are meant to be accessible to all seating positions.

4. Design: Coffee tables come in various designs, ranging from rectangular or round shapes to more unique and artistic forms. They can be a focal point in the room and can contribute to the overall design and style.

5. Interaction Space: Coffee tables offer a space for people to interact, play games, and engage in activities when sitting around the table.

6. Size Variations: Coffee tables come in different sizes to suit different room layouts and seating arrangements. For larger seating areas, larger coffee tables are more common.

In summary, side tables are smaller, meant to be placed beside seating furniture, and provide a surface for small items. Coffee tables are larger, placed at the centre of seating areas, and offer a larger surface for various activities and items. The choice between a side table and a coffee table depends on the size of the space, the seating arrangement, and the specific functions you need the table to fulfil.
