Wood Coffee Tables

Styling your coffee table can effortlessly elevate your living room. Start by clearing any clutter. Consider the size and shape of your coffee table when choosing decorative items. Books, either stacked or fanned out, add a touch of personality and height. Decorative trays can corral smaller items like candles or decorative objects, creating a sense of order. A vase of fresh flowers or a potted plant brings life and colour to the space. Balance is key. If you have a large, rectangular coffee table, create visual balance by grouping items of varying heights and textures on either side. For smaller, round coffee tables, a central arrangement might be more suitable. Materials such as ceramic, wood, or metallic finishes can add texture and visual interest, coordinating with your existing decor. Finally, don't be afraid to experiment and find a style that reflects your personal taste. For more information visit our blog post.

The ideal coffee table size and height depends on your sofa and living room space. A good rule of thumb is to choose a coffee table that's about the same height as your sofa seat cushions or slightly lower, typically between 40-43cm. For length, aim for roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa, falling within the 80-120cm range. In terms of depth, 60-80cm allows for comfortable reach without dominating the room. Consider leaving around 45-60cm between the coffee table and other furniture for easy movement. If you have a smaller living room, a round coffee table can save space and soften the look. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

The ideal rug size for your wood coffee table depends on the table's dimensions and the surrounding furniture. A good rule of thumb is to choose a rug large enough so that all the front legs of your sofa or armchairs can rest comfortably on it, even when pulled slightly away from the coffee table. This creates a cohesive and balanced look. If you have a smaller living space, you might opt for a rug that just slightly extends beyond the edges of the coffee table, ensuring there's still some floor space visible. For larger rooms, a bigger rug can anchor the seating area and define the space. Consider leaving a border of between 30-60cm of floor space around the rug's perimeter, especially in smaller rooms, to avoid a cramped feel.

To keep your wood coffee table looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. For spills, wipe them up immediately with a slightly damp cloth and dry the area thoroughly. Avoid placing hot items directly on the wood surface, as this can cause discolouration or damage. Using coasters and placemats is always recommended. Periodically, you can apply a high-quality wood polish or conditioner to maintain the wood's natural beauty and protect it from drying out. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
