How to Have an Ottoman and a Coffee Table
Sometimes you may want to have both an ottoman and a coffee table in your living room, but you may not know how to integrate them into one space. Here are some tips to make the most of the space and get the look you want.
Choose the Right Size and Style
Choose an ottoman that is a similar height to the coffee table. The ottoman should be around 12″-15″ tall so you can have plenty of comfort and room to rest your feet.
Also, pick styles that complement one another to create a sense of unified space. If you want to make a statement, try two different furniture pieces, use coordinating colors and textures.
Create Balance
Arrange your furniture so that it creates a sense of balance in your room. Place the ottoman and coffee table so that they don’t overpower one another and are proportional to the size of the room.
It’s also important to make sure your furniture isn’t blocking any of the doorways or walkways in the room.
Add Accessories
Accessories are a great way to tie the two pieces of furniture together and make them look like they belong together. You can use a contrasting throw blanket, decorative pillows, or trays to make the furniture appear as one cohesive unit.
Set a Cozy Area
Using the ottoman and coffee table together makes it easy to create a cozy and inviting area in your living room. Place a reading light and books on the ottoman to create a reading nook, or use throw pillows for extra comfort.
Advantages of Combining an Ottoman and a Coffee Table
- Creates a Statement: Combining the two pieces of furniture together creates an eye-catching look that is sure to draw attention.
- Adds Space: Using two pieces of furniture instead of one gives you more room for seating and added storage.
- Saves Money: Combining the two pieces of furniture allows you to get the look of two pieces without having to buy two items.
An ottoman and coffee table can be a great addition to any living room. Use these tips to make sure you get the best look and make the most of your space!
