Coffee table suggestions

9 years ago

Building new home and need help on coffee table type and size. Don't have pics of current furniture but hope this helps. I have (2) 88inch sofas that are a grey/silver and will have them L shaped vs across from each other. Also have (2) navy high back chairs. Will get a very light rug but need help on

stain on coffee table. Floors are dark black/ brown hardwoods, Fireplace light stone will have white shutters. Trying to decide between a grey wood or brownish/black. Will also need a small media cabinet by Fireplace so do I keep them in the same color family? Have a brushed silver light fixture and I am transitional style. I have looked at mix of metals and wood. Don't want concrete or shagreen. Attached is photo of bare floors and fireplace. Roomis 21x19. Looking at square tables, would 60" be too large?

    I love you house! Well I would say black however that might clash with your navy Chairs. So maybe white? Black would look nice, though.

    This coffee table is nice.

    I like using things that aren't coffee tables as coffee tables like ottomans or two small tables pushed together. I took an old chest from a thrift store, sanded it down and painted it white. I placed glass on the top and it made the perfect coffee table.

    Maybe a coffee table like in one of our designs you see below will work well for you? Note how we have a rug below both of the designs?

    Like the table as well but might be a bit heavy. Looking at one by Mandalay called Atlanta in the espresso finish. What is the size of the coffee table in the blue/white room?

    Beautiful space! I love the colour palette you've gone with. I'd go with a table like this one from Uttermost. I think the scale and finish is perfect for the room and transitional style you're going for. Can't wait to see what you go with!

    After much thought I went with a table I saw in a model home to go with the chairs and sofa I have at this point. Table is 60x60 and works well in this big family room. My light fixture is a silver light (to be added soon), no ceiling fan in this room. Here is the room in development, need end tables, rug and lamps, shutters are on their way. Open concept showing kitchen and nook as well. Love all your suggestions and any other ideas are very helpful.... Will add in some Grey and one other minor color??????? Suggestions?

    Definately some warm colors to offset the nuetrals. Lately (as in the past two years!) I'm obsessed with orange in various hues. But reds, rusts, even dark pinks would be lovely.

    ok, i would want to put a touch of gold in there.



    I stay under $150. But I was shopping with someone who had more money and had a couple really nice larger ovals for under $300. I did not keep due to price, but considering above price, I can look up if you want.

    These are very nice, I am still having issues with mixing metals, I know it is ok to do and quite "in" I need to step outside of my box and try this.


  • 9 years ago

    I hear you. The whole mixing metals thing felt a little strange until I tried it (in a small way) by using some gold-accented things in a living room where the sofa and an credenza have brushed metal legs. But I like it! try it small at first... not a big investment.

    A light rug will really make your navy accent chairs and coffee table pop. I like this type of coffee table for your space. Good luck....space is looking great so far!

    That is pretty does it come in a square? I am looking at very light rugs with grey, taupe and blue. THANKS I love this picture you attached.

    You are quite welcome! This one only comes in a rectangular shape, at the moment. I'm sure there is something comparable out there in a square shape :)
