Oval coffee tables: The elegance of curves
In interior design, curved shapes evoke calm and connection. Oval coffee tables capture this essence, offering a dynamic alternative to traditional geometric forms. Lacking sharp angles, these pieces significantly improve the ergonomics of the living room, allowing for freer and safer movement, especially in homes with children. At Sklum, we embrace a diverse range of materials to enhance these silhouettes: from the robustness of carved wood, which adds visual weight, to the lightness of bamboo or the technical sophistication of cement and steel. These tables not only provide support but also balance and soften the overall furniture composition.

Advantages of the oval shape in the living room
- Optimizing passage: By not having protruding corners, they allow sofas and armchairs to be placed closer together without obstructing the passage.
- Child safety: The absence of sharp points makes them the safest option for families with young children playing in the living room.
- Usable length: They offer an elongated surface similar to rectangular ones, ideal for serving three-seater sofas or chaise longues.
- Visual softness: They break the rigidity of the straight lines that predominate in sofas, carpets and TV furniture, creating a more relaxed atmosphere.
Selection and maintenance tips
To choose the right size, look for a table whose length is approximately two-thirds the length of the sofa. The oval shape allows for some flexibility, but be sure to leave at least 40-50 cm of clearance around it. As for maintenance, natural woods like acacia or mango benefit from the occasional application of wax to nourish the grain. For cement or travertine surfaces, it's vital to clean up spills quickly to prevent staining, given their porous nature. Bamboo models stay in perfect condition with a damp cloth and by avoiding constant, direct sunlight.
