Our advice Buying Guide

What is the right height for a mid-century modern coffee table?

A mid-century modern coffee table makes a stylish, functional addition to your living room. Placed at the right height within the space, this table serves as a decorative accent, provides storage space for papers or magazines, and functions as a resting place for your coffee or tea.

To determine the right height for your mid-century modern coffee table, take a look at the other furniture in the room. Your table should measure between 16” and 18” tall, which is about level with the top of your couch’s seat cushions. A tall coffee table overpowers smaller furniture, while one that is too short means awkwardly reaching down to set items on its surface.

Pick a table with a medium height. Ensure that when you lean forward from your couch to set an object down, the action feels comfortable and natural. This ensures your mid-century modern coffee table is functional and accessible.

How to choose the best mid-century modern coffee table?

Since mid-century modern coffee tables are available in a wide variety of designs and shapes, picking the right coffee table can be quite challenging. That said, there are a few aspects that you should keep in mind before making your purchase.

If you’re tired of visual clutter on your coffee table, your best bet would be a design with drawers, open shelves, or both. This way, you’ll have space to store and organize miscellaneous items, such as books, remote control, and coasters without causing a mess on the table.

For those who prefer a more minimalist approach with their living room aesthetic, consider purchasing a mid-century modern coffee table that features a thin wooden or glass top. These types of coffee tables strike the perfect balance between simplicity and elegance.

In terms of shapes, a round or square mid-century modern coffee table goes best with a larger scale sofa, such as a sectional. On the other hand, oval and rectangular coffee tables can be paired with regular sofas and are also more favorable for small living spaces.
