What Coffee Table?

9 years ago

My dining and living areas are open/next to each other. My dining table is glass with a chrome base, sofa has silver nail heads, and I have an accent chair with chrome arms and legs. I don't want to go into chrome/silver overload, so what type of coffee table should I purchase - acrylic, wood, or what? Help!!!

I don't need a photo. :-) I'd go with something like the peekaboo acrylic coffee table from cb2.

a photo of the space would help a lot, as everything depends on context and style...

My psychic abilities are at a lull ...White Formica? Lizard skin? An antique elephant foot with a drum top? Sure wish we had a picture!

Oh, I see you are addressing the photo, we were posting around the same time : )

White Formica? Or, a white acrylic table might look nice.

What sort of rug are you using? Do you have a picture?

Is that the way you intend to keep the seating arranged? If so, I don't think you have room for a coffee table. Maybe a couple of C-tables...

I was immediately thinking the same the thing as groveraxle. Since it's a small area, it might be nice to keep it more open and use C tables or garden stools (something small) as a place for your beverage, book, etc. I'd be tempted to get a plush shag that's really cozy and a floor pillow or two for additional/casual seating. Very cute little place!

Nic,

I would consider using a couple of martini tables. I got mine from West Elm but there are many others that look quite similiar.

I don't see anything wrong with mixing modern with traditional. What about a blanket chest? You can use it for storage as well. That's what I have instead of a coffee table. Maybe a coat of paint that compliments the rest of the room or a bright color for that "pop"? Maybe the orange like the pillows you have on your sofa? You could maybe pick up one with a bad finish and get it for a little less money. It would be worth it to take it to a place that has a spray booth and have it sprayed and don't try to brush the

@justerrilynn I haven't decided on a rug yet, but I do luv the idea of a shag rug (@DH) with martini or C tables tables(@aktillery9, @groveraxle). Great suggestions!
