Why a Round Or Large Coffee Table is Better
The best argument for a round coffee table is that small children will not run the risk of injury, which may occur on encountering the sharp edges of a rectangular or square table.
However, a round coffee table is probably best placed in a corner where it will comfortably hold a table lamp, your coffee cup and an ornament or two, making maximum use of available space.
A good choice for a round coffee table is one which has two levels, doubling the capacity.
Two round tables may be placed at either end of the sofa making attractive and efficient use of space.
Most of us look for a more traditional rectangular or square table which can be placed before the sofa within easy reach.
Again, if space is a consideration, consider a table with more than one level so that magazines, et cetera, may be placed on the lower shelf while leaving plenty of space on top for cups, plates and snacks.
Budget and space will be your prime considerations when considering your purchase.
A large table will dwarf a small space.
If space is no object, then by all means buy the largest coffee table on the market but should you have only limited space available then your purchase will require more thought.
Similarly an ultra-modern chrome and glass coffee table will look out of place in a cozy atmosphere and you should choose a wooden table in a style which complements your existing furniture.
Very few talented people can get away with eclectic mixing and matching of styles and if you are not sure you can pull this off then choose a more cautious route.
A large coffee table can be used as an extra table for the little ones when entertaining, freeing space and making for a more elegant occasion.
Few toddlers have charming table manners.
A large table is just the right size for smaller children to practice their artistic talents and a few sheets of newspaper placed on the floor will protect it from spills.
A large coffee table lends itself to board games and puzzles.
A fireside, intimate dinner can be enjoyed with ease if the table is large enough to hold the necessities as will an informal morning tea.
Available in every conceivable material, color and design a coffee table is an important investment so care should be taken when choosing the right table for your family and style.
