The Perfect Match: Coffee Table and Reclining Sofa Combination
Do you want to spice up your living room with a reclining sofa and coffee table combination? Consider these few tips when figuring out the perfect setup:
Choose the Right Size Coffee Table
- Size: When in doubt, oversized is better. A coffee table shouldn’t be too small because when the sofa is in a reclined position, there won’t be enough space between the table and sofa.
- Shape: An oval, round or rectangular table works best near a reclining sofa.
Consider the Reclining Position
Once the size and shape of the coffee table are selected, make sure to consider the reclining position of the sofa.
The distance between the sofa and coffee table should be enough to easily reach for snacks and drinks from the sofa. Reflect on how much distance the table needs in order to be within arm’s reach for the likely reclining positions.
A Comfortable Distance
A general rule of thumb for finding the “sweet spot” for comfortable distance is at least 18-24 inches from the edge of the coffee table to the sofa’s back cushion.
Whether you’re looking for an upscale, modern or casual vibe, a combination of a reclining sofa and coffee table might be just what your living room has been missing.
