Coffee Tables, End Tables, and Sofa Tables for Your Living Room

Decorating your living room can be an exciting and fun task. From lighting and wall colors to furniture and fabrics, there are many components to properly decorating your living room area. One important aspect of this is picking out tables that match the style of your home.

Coffee tables, though perhaps the most important of living room tables, are just one type of what we call “occasional table.” Occasional tables are just that – tables for specific occasion. In the case of coffee tables, we find a wide array of occasions. Coffee tables are the central table that people sit around in a living room. Usually it complements the sofa in both length and height, and it becomes both a decorative and functional table.

Coffee tables are used to display items in the household, and depending on the household, they’re usually used for gathering. The extent to which the coffee table is functionally used really varies from household to household. Typically coffee tables are the most functionally used table in the living room.

End tables, also called side tables are usually placed at the end of the sofa or next to a chair. End tables usually hold a table lamp and some decorative items. Similarly, sofa tables are also highly decorative; these high standing tables are usually placed behind the sofa or against a wall and serve to hold decorative items. Unlike coffee tables, end tables and sofa tables are used primarily as decorative pieces in a room.

Depending on the style and theme of your living room, it’s possible to mix and match pieces of living room furniture, including tables. Your end tables do not need to be from the same collection as your coffee table and sofa tables. The only thing that matters is that your tables are thematically consistent. You want your furniture to work well together. If you have a thematically rustic furnished room, for example, you want all of your furniture to follow suit. Beyond theme, however, your individual pieces can come from a variety of collections.

Some coffee tables come in a complete set with matching end tables and sofa tables. This might be an option for some people who prefer consistency, or who have little time to devote to redecorating. You might also consider whether you need each time of table in your space.

Although coffee tables are standard in every living room, not every room has space or need for a sofa table. You need to think of the room, and your needs in terms of space, decoration, and function; whatever your decorating desires, you will find occasional tables that work for you.

Selection of Sofas

Selection of Sofas

There is nothing better than a hot cup of Coffee on a Loveseat on a rainy day…

Shakespeare said “a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet”, of course, he was talking about a name, and I am talking about sofa, here! The fact of the matter is that people will judge a lot about you by your sofa when they come into your home. A nice leather sofa, says that you are successful, and well, not a vegan. A big comfy couch tells people that they are welcome in your home, and ushers them in to stay a while. A sleek and modern sofa however, might just do the exact opposite. Sometimes cold, and a little intimidating in style, the modern look just does not beckon people over to sit; rather it looms over the room, commanding respect and daring toddlers to muss it with their sticky fingers.

In the late seventies and early eighties, the prefab furniture business was booming, and people bought sofas that were basically wooden frames filled with cushions. They were not very stylish, nor were they very comfortable. They were cheap to buy, and cheaply made, judging by how often they needed to be replaced. How many people would sit on those sofas and find themselves either wedged into the back, or sliding helplessly toward the floor as family and friends tried not to laugh at them?

What exactly is the purpose of the sofa anyway? It is not merely furniture, the same as the side chair or the coffee table are. The sofa sets the tone for the whole room. It can be a comfy nest for a blissful nap; or a launching pad for a romance as two nervous lovers sit side by side for the first time. It can be the family dog house, as one spouse is banished to sleep there after a spat. It can be the landing pad for the family gymnast, perfecting her tumbling routine as she flips over the arm rest. A good sofa can make a bad room seem better; a bad sofa can throw off even the best designed room.

And what is the worst of all the sofa types? The hybrid: the sofa bed. Ugh, who wants to even think about those atrocities? They are not comfortable as couches, and they certainly do not improve once you open them up and use them as a bed. I am amazed that they are even still made, considering the other products on the line that are vastly superior, but they are still made and sold. I guess there really is no accounting for some people’s taste, is there?

Give me a nice, cushy couch, a warm blanket and my sweetie to cuddle up with and you are near to perfection. Add in a good vampire movie, some salty popcorn and a cold soda and you are nearing the stage of nirvana. Now, if the power should fail, and a summer storm pops up, we might actually be talking about a little bit of heaven right here on earth.

fifthly, fabric sofa coordinates with other decorative styles of living room furniture. Sofa fabric, patterns, colors tend to dominate the room from the style of role, so, a fabric sofa bought first, then other living room furniture bought secondly is a wise choice.
