Choosing the Right Color for Your Coffee Table
When designing and decorating your home, adding a coffee table for the living area is an essential part of the home. But how do you decide what color to paint it? Here are a few tips to help you decide.
Consider the Overall Color Scheme
When deciding on which color to paint your coffee table, it is important to consider the current color scheme. A great way to do this is to look at the colors of the furniture pieces, rugs, art and/or wall paint. It’s likely that you will find a common theme within the colors and that is what you should stay within. Keeping within the same color scheme will help to create a cohesive look and feel to the overall space.
Think About Size
Once you have the overall color chosen, you can move on to thinking about the shade and tone. Since this piece of furniture will be in the center of the room it may be best to go for a neutral color that won’t stand out too much. If the size of the coffee table is small, a light color may be a good choice as it can help to make the entire piece seem larger. However, if the size of the coffee table is large, you may want to look at a darker shade to make it appear smaller and help it blend into the other pieces of furniture.
Choose the Finish
Finally, once you have the color chosen, it’s time to select the finish. A finish is a great way to add a polished look to the piece of furniture. Some popular finishes used in furniture are matte, glossy, distressed, lacquered, etc. Depending on the color of the coffee table, one of the aforementioned finishes should be picked to complement the overall design.
Pick The Perfect Shade
Picking the right color to paint your coffee table can be tricky, but with the above tips it should be a little easier. Remember to consider the existing color scheme and the size of the table before selecting a finish and you will be able to find the perfect shade for your coffee table.
