Types of Coffee Table Furniture
Coffee tables, also known as cocktail tables, are long, low tables usually placed in front of a couch. Ideally, the coffee table height should be approximately the same height as the seating area of the couch, so that items sitting on the coffee table are easily accessible by someone sitting on the sofa. Popular shapes for cocktail tables are round coffee tables, rectangle coffee tables and oval coffee tables.
End tables are most commonly known as the tables that go on either side of a sofa or beside a favorite armchair or recliner. They are designed to typically hold a lamp, a glass of iced tea or a bowl of snacks. The right end table, whether it's an elegantly shaped traditional end table in a lustrous mahogany finish or a sleekly fashioned modern creation out of metal and glass, will enhance your décor. When buying coffee table sets you will usually get two end tables with your coffee table.
A console table or sofa table is normally as long as a sofa and is placed behind the back of it. These accent tables are commonly used to stand against the wall of hallways and dining rooms. Console tables can have a glass top, be made entirely of wood or have organizational storage features like cubbies or a built-in wine rack.
The appeal of the ottoman as a coffee table is in the fact they are compact, lightweight and can be added and removed from in from of the sofa as discriminating individuals see fit. A popular choice is to locate them at the sides of a seating area in lieu of end tables and bring them to the front of the fixture when one wishes to put their feet up. Many ottomans also feature an interior storage compartment.
Nesting tables generally come in a set of two or three varying, corresponding sizes. They are versatile and can be moved around a room wherever they are needed, or they can be conveniently stacked out of the way when not in use. From round to square to triangular, nesting tables come in a variety styles, including traditional and modern.
