Low tables: The central focus of conviviality in the living room
In living room design, the low coffee table is much more than just an auxiliary surface; it's the element that articulates the flow of movement and social interaction around the seating. A well-proportioned coffee table balances the scale of the sofas and armchairs, visually unifying the space. Our selection focuses on offering designs that meet diverse needs: from robust models that invite you to rest your feet and relax, to sculptural pieces that elevate the aesthetic of the room. We value materials that age gracefully, such as treated natural woods and metals with durable patinas, ensuring that the furniture endures as a testament to domestic life.

Advantages of choosing the right coffee table
- Ergonomic functionality: Provides an accessible surface from the sofa for drinks, reading or devices, improving daily comfort.
- Spatial balance: Helps define the "conversation zone", delimiting the carpet area and connecting the seats.
- Hidden storage: Many models incorporate lower shelves or drawers, ideal for keeping remotes and magazines organized.
- Decorative versatility: It serves as an exhibition platform for personal objects that reflect the identity of the inhabitants.
Expert advice for choosing
The golden rule for a coffee table is proportion. Its length should be approximately two-thirds the length of the sofa to maintain visual balance. As for the height, ideally it should be the same as or slightly lower than the sofa seat height (between 40 and 45 cm) to allow easy access without obstructing the view. If you have small children or pets, a round or oval coffee table is the safest option as it lacks sharp corners. For high-traffic living rooms, scratch- and stain-resistant materials, such as sealed marble or hardwoods, are smart investments.
Frequently asked questions about coffee tables
-
What distance should I leave between the table and the sofa?
It is recommended to leave a circulation aisle of between 40 and 50 cm to be able to pass your legs comfortably but reach the table without stretching too much.
-
How to protect a wooden table from watermarks?
Using coasters is essential. Additionally, applying protective waxes or varnishes periodically helps seal the pores and prevent permanent stains.
-
Is glass safe for a coffee table?
Yes, as long as it is tempered safety glass, which is much more resistant to impacts and, in case of breakage, fragments into small, non-cutting pieces.
-
Can I use a low table outdoors?
Only if it is specifically designed for it (oiled tropical woods, aluminum, polypropylene). Indoor furniture deteriorates rapidly with humidity and sunlight.
