Choosing the Right Coffee Table for Your L Shaped Sectional
When it comes to finding the perfect coffee table for your L-shaped sectional, size matters. To ensure a stylish and functional pair, you’ll want to pay attention to a few key elements.
Start with the Size of Your Sectional
Your sectional size will help to determine the size of your coffee table and the shape:
- Small Sectional: Consider a two-tier coffee table, square, or round coffee table with a low profile. This size of coffee table won’t overwhelm your space.
- Moderate Sectional: You have a few options depending on the floor plan. If the sectional has corner seating and a serpentine-like shape, you’ll want to go with a square or rectangle shaped coffee table. Alternatively, if the sectional has a straight-back sectional, go with an oval shaped table.
- Large Sectional: Consider a rectangular shaped or ottoman style coffee table. This will provide the most space for drinks, snacks, and also for guest to set their feet.
Choose a Style That Complements Your Sectional
Another important factor when choosing a coffee table for your sectional is the style. The style should complement the sectional to give an overall balanced and aesthetically pleasing look. The table should be proportional in size, height, and width. The style can be contemporary, traditional, or an eclectic mix of both.
Where to Place the Coffee Table
Once you have chosen the style and size of your coffee table, it is time to pick the right location.
- Center the table in the middle of the sectional.
- Make sure it is accessible from all sides.
- Place the table at least 8-10 inches away from the chairs and sofa.
- Use a rug under the coffee table to give the area a sense of definition.
Choosing the right coffee table for your L-shaped sectional can be challenging. But if you keep these tips in mind, you’ll be sure to find the perfect one that meets your needs and style.
