Choosing the perfect coffee table for your drawing room from ARV Furniture depends on various factors like space, style, functionality, and material. Here’s a detailed guide to help you make the right choice:
1. Consider the Size & Proportion
Measure Your Space: Ensure the table fits well within your seating area, leaving at least 18 inches of space around for easy movement.
Height Matters: The ideal coffee table height is usually equal to or slightly lower than your sofa’s seat height (16-18 inches).
2. Pick the Right Shape
Rectangular: Best for longer sofas or sectional seating.
Square: Works well in smaller rooms or with compact seating arrangements.
Round/Oval: Ideal for homes with kids, as they eliminate sharp edges and enhance flow.
3. Choose the Right Material
Glass Top (Tempered Glass): Sleek, modern, and visually expands space. Example: ARV’s coffee table with tempered glass legs.
Wood (Solid or Engineered): Traditional, sturdy, and warm. Best for a cozy, rustic, or contemporary feel.
Metal & Marble/Stone: Adds a touch of luxury; ideal for modern interiors.
Living Wood: If you prefer a natural aesthetic, ARV’s living wood coffee tables are great choices.
4. Functional Features
Storage Options: If you need extra space, opt for a coffee table with drawers, shelves, or hidden compartments.
Lift-Top Design: Ideal for working, dining, or extra storage.
Nesting Tables: Flexible for small spaces and easily reconfigurable.
5. Match the Aesthetic
Contemporary Style: Choose glass, metal, or a sleek wood finish.
Boho Chic: Opt for rattan, natural wood, or textured surfaces.
Luxury/Classic: Consider marble-topped or gold-accented coffee tables.
6. Color Coordination
Neutral Colors (Beige, White, Gray): Perfect for minimalist or modern spaces.
Dark Wood (Walnut, Espresso): Adds warmth and pairs well with classic interiors.
Bold Colors (Black, Gold, Blue, Green): Ideal for making a statement.
7. Durability & Maintenance
If you have kids or pets, opt for rounded edges and easy-to-clean materials like glass or sealed wood.
For a low-maintenance option, avoid high-maintenance surfaces like untreated wood or delicate finishes.
