It is only after all the living room seating has been chosen, that the last pieces of the living room puzzle are set for fitting. These last pieces are the living room tables. The availability of infinite options for tables leave even interior designers lost in picking up the right tables. It is best to bear in mind that the right tables for picking are the ones that fill the gap.

Among the variety of available living room tables are tables with brass bases and glass tops, round wood tables with tapered legs and tables with drawers or without drawers. Ending up with two living room tables can be the outcome of the inability to find just one table in the right size.

The living room space must be considered in the selection of living room tables. Close enough to reach for a drink or put a magazine down, yet far enough to stretch out legs, 18 inches is the ideal distance from the edge of a sofa to the edge of a table. People tend to either leave too much or too little room between the sofa and the table. Still, the 18-inch rule stands regardless of what type of furniture requires the ability to reach the table.

At least a space of 30 inches must be left from the outer edge of living room coffee tables to the TV stand or media cabinet. This way the main passageway of the living room would have been thought about. The shortest distance to go is 24 inches and that by the way is only applicable for narrow living rooms.

The height of living room coffee tables holds the key. Their surface should be about 1 to 2 inches lower than the sofa seat. While the height of standard tables stand at 16 to 18 inches, considering a taller table of about 20 to 21 inches can be an option should a higher couch is being used or entertaining is a major living room activity. This way, guests will find it easier to set dessert plates down or cut a piece of cheese.

The style of the sofa must strike a balance with the style of the living room coffee tables. While a slim and more streamlined couch matches a chunky table with a thick wood top and solid base, a plush, solid-colored couch will find its soul mate in a glass table on a leggy chrome frame.
