There are a few things to consider before choosing the perfect coffee table shape for your living space.
The dimensions of your living room or open plan area
The amount of available space around the coffee table
The width, style and position of your sofas and/or lounge chairs
The design and style of the entertainment unit, bookcase, armchairs or ottomans
The design of your dining table, dining chairs, and other existing furniture items
Home decor such as wall art, cushions, rugs and bedside tables
Your household members
Rectangular coffee tables are a great shape to work in conjunction with a sofa, but if you have young active kids it could be worth looking into round coffee table ideas. Also consider the shape of your coffee table alongside the design of existing furniture. Check out the curvaceous legs on the La Salle Mk2 coffee table perfectly complementing the soft curves of the sofa design and the table lamp.
Another table displaying perfect symmetry with the shape of surrounding furnishings is the rectangular Pine Creek coffee table, right down to the linear pattern in the floor rug!
