Material, finish and construction

When comparing coffee tables, look closely at top shape, height, material, storage, base design and clearance around seating. Materials influence appearance, weight and maintenance, while finish affects colour coordination and day-to-day care. Use the written specification to confirm construction and care requirements.

Function and room planning

Choose a height that works comfortably with the surrounding sofa or chairs. Mark out the footprint and consider how people move around it. Where a product opens, extends, swivels or reclines, include that working clearance. For storage, seating or sleeping products, match the layout, support and capacity to the needs of regular users.

Creating a coordinated result

Build the room around a clear relationship between scale, colour and material. Matching every finish is not essential, but repeating one or two elements can connect separate pieces.
