When choosing a small coffee table to add to your living room, you need to consider a couple of factors in order to ensure a successful selection. A coffee table's size and placement are two considerations that are necessary as they both dictate your room's flow and contribute to your space's overall aesthetics. But, what's more important is that you ensure your table delivers the function that you seek out of the furniture. Keep on reading as we'll explain them all in detail below.

What shape coffee table should you choose?

Round or Oval - Round and oval coffee tables are good choices for areas that receive medium to high traffic daily as there's an absence of sharp corners that can pose a problem in tight or narrow spaces.
Square - Small coffee tables that have taken the square shape are excellent if you have a large space to allocate for them. They're also a great choice if you need to provide extra seating and work surface in your home.
Rectangle - Rectangular coffee tables have taken up a traditional shape. They work well with chaise lounges or 3-seaters as they balance out any kind of furniture's proportions.

How to select the right height for a coffee table?

Regarding the table's height, if you'll be sitting on the floor, your legs must fit under the furniture. If you'll be reclining on a lounge and you'll prop both your feet up, make sure that your table has a comfortable height.

What extra features to look for in small size coffee tables?

Stackability. Stackable coffee tables allow rearranging and restacking of several units to create different shapes. They're suitable for almost all types of activities and spaces. They're especially useful in multi-purpose rooms where people move a lot and require flexibility.
Multi-Level design. A multi-level coffee table isn't just a mere table, but it's also a unit where you can display decorative items and books.
Multifunctionality. As you may already know, coffee tables aren't just spots where you'll place your coffee or cup of tea on. They can also provide additional seating, storage, and more importantly, statement pieces that'll look stunning in any living space. To narrow down your choices, list down what you require out of a coffee table. It may include the seating ability, storage, and mobility through the use of wheels.

Where to place a small size coffee table?

The fact that a coffee table is small does not mean that it can be placed just about anywhere. To work out your coffee table's correct placement, the key is to take a good look at your entire space and how your family uses it. If the room sees lots of traffic, then you must ensure that you don't block out this traffic. If you insist, you can go ahead and get a unit for this space but make sure that it isn't too large to still allow people to navigate through the space.

Most people place their coffee tables in rooms with several different purposes. If you'll be placing your coffee table in a game room, drawing room or conservatory, then you'd want a cluster of small-sized coffee tables as they can be modified easily.
