Large Coffee Tables

More about Large Coffee Tables

There are few pieces as integral to your living space as a coffee table. Sure, a sofa and seating are pretty important too, but they need a table to revolve around—and it ought to be a good one. Giving you ample room to kick back and relax, prop up your laptop, and rest a glass or two, these large format coffee tables are designed to make a stylish statement no one can overlook.

The centre from which everything orbits, think of your coffee table as the nucleus of any functional living space, dictating not only the tone and vibe of your room, but also how you move around it. When deciding which is right for you, remember that proportions are everything, which is why it’s crucial to choose a table that’s large enough for your living room. A table even slightly too small will have a dwarfed appearance, making your space feel unfinished and sparse as opposed to grounded. The right height is also imperative, so a good rule of thumb is opting for a table that's on the same level as the cushions on your sofa or 2 to 5 centimetres inches lower, anything else may feel awkward.

While size is one thing, the bulk of your table can also make all the difference and take your decorating status from amateur to amazing. To make sure your piece complements your seating, it should offer balance—meaning if your seating has skinny legs, consider a table that's solid all the way to the ground. On the other hand, if your sofa has no visible legs, choose a coffee table that has pin legs. Thinner legs give the illusion of weightlessness, which can help a room feel lighter and airier if you’re concerned about the size of your coffee table feeling too heavy. With all these elements in play, all you have to do is style with a stack of books, marble tray, a scented candle or some small succulents, and you’ll have the perfect centerpiece at the heart of your home.
