No Room for a Coffee Table? Think Again!



Large conventional coffee tables might not match your space, or the look you want in a living room or family room. For this reason, more and more manufacturers are creating side table, accent tables and end tables that may be used as a coffee table too. These smaller tables allow you to place a drink or snack down on top, yet are more streamlined, and may be moved around when required.

I first started looking into these alternate tables once I had been hired by a customer to design a household space around a reclining couch. I wanted a pair of tables that could sit in front of the couches, after that, when they wanted to recline, could be transferred to the sides as end tables. Whether you have a similar situation, small distance, or for other reason, you’ll make certain to get thoughts from one of these options.

Create a custom coffee table in front of a sectional with a few martini side tables in West Elm. They are available in a number of finishes and look good once you mix up the colours together. When you have guests that they create great extra seating, or finish tables at each end of the couch.

If you’re seeking to pair several tables that are 20-24″ deep or long every day, there are lots of end tables that match that size. Go with glass tops to get a appearance, so that they don’t feel bulky. The end tables will be marginally greater than a conventional coffee table, but with all of the varying dimensions in tables these days, it will look great!
