Dimensions of the coffee table - What are the dimensions of the coffee table? I have a small coffee table in my living room, but it seems to be quite small sitting next to my larger sofa. Any ideas? Thanks! »
Cynthia Taylor-Luce Yes, larger is better, but make sure you have enough room for a traffic path to get in and out of the seating pieces. If the coffee table will be in the centre of the room like this, a rectangle or square will be fine. Otherwise, if the coffee table is for the sofa only, then I'd recommend a rectangle so everyone on the sofa can reach it. Or, you could use two square tables side by side. These are easier to move around when you're vacuuming. Sometimes people use a table and an upholstered ottoman side by side and it looks interesting and eclectic.
Use texture. Neutral furnishings are wonderful for a traditional living room, but keeping them from looking bland is crucial. A jute rug like this adds texture and depth to a sea of creamy tones.
