The Mid Century Modern Coffee Table<\/span><\/h2>\n

I would imagine that most of us don\u2019t give much thought about coffee tables on a typical day. But, if it wasn\u2019t there, we would certainly notice. Your living room would look quite odd. A coffee table really is a key piece of furniture and choosing one that is right for your decor helps tie it all together. The right one can really elevate the overall feel of the room.<\/p>\n

Choosing the right coffee table<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your living room decor has mid century modern influence at all then you will likely want to include an mid century modern coffee table. Aside from being an important decor element, your coffee table is also one of the most used pieces of furniture in your living room. You place your drinks, snacks, magazines and remote controls on it and maybe even your tired feet.<\/p>\n

Consider how you will you use your mid-century modern coffee table<\/span><\/h3>\n

Is storage important to you? If you have magazines, gadgets, a few remotes, and don\u2019t we all, then you may want a coffee table with a drawer to quickly put things away when you are not using them. If minimalism is your thing, then you may want a coffee table with a glass top and wooden base or wood legs.<\/p>\n

When I was growing up, my family had a cool teak coffee table that had a leather shelf under it for magazines. I wish I could find one like that today.<\/p>\n

Mid-century coffee tables typically feature minimalist designs with materials like glass, metal and wood. Modern furnishings are known for their functional features and geometric forms. Mid-century modern furniture may have straight legs or more stylistic designs may have angled legs as well.<\/p>\n

What coffee table shape should you choose?<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a small space, the best table shapes are rectangle or oval. Consider a nesting table as well if you need the extra space.<\/p>\n

A square or round coffee table works well for furniture with a lot of seating, such as a sectional sofa. Your coffee table should be about the same height as your sofa seats. The table should be placed 12 to 18 inches away from the seating, so think about the space you have when choosing the size. It\u2019s going to live with you so make sure like it.<\/p>\n
