Sofa side tables, a design choice

The sofa side table is a piece of furniture that not only has a simple aesthetic function but also makes a living room décor sophisticated and contemporary. In addition, it can also be really useful to make the most of the living room. In fact, depending on its size and height, it becomes the ideal element to accompany your sofa. Whether working comfortably seated on the sofa, or as a simple table top ideal for eating or drinking, relaxing or using it as a comfortable footrest or book and magazine holder, it will always be useful. Therefore, the coffee table for the living room must  be chosen with several parameters in mind, in particular:

• it must be coordinated with the sofa and the living room furniture
• height and dimensions appropriate to the space.
• As far as materials are concerned, simply choose those that best suit the style of the home.

Let’s find out how to place designer sofa tables in our living room and discover the most attractive models.

Sofa side tables, a stylish choice

Having established the importance of a sofa side table, it becomes important to understand how to fit it perfectly into the environment. Let’s remember that it must be an elegant and functional element to give an extra touch to the environment while meeting practical needs. So here are a few tips to follow.

Place several living side tables

To create a unique effect, it is important to aim for a mix of side tables realising a real design game with different sizes and unique combinations. The room will acquire character. The off-centre position in relation to the sofa creates a strategic and irresistible matching effect.

However, it is really essential that the side table is well proportioned to the sofa and that it is neither too small to be secondary in the room, nor too large to detract attention from the sofa, which is still the star of the room.

Mix materials, shapes and colours

As there are so many materials that are perfect for every style, the important thing is to rely on personal taste and mix colours wisely to achieve an original and interesting solution.

Shapes also contribute to defining the style, but the main thing is to combine them wisely to avoid extravagant effects so as not to weigh down. Mixing shapes, materials and colours is important to create a sophisticated and different effect.

Go outside the box and find new elements

A coffee table can also be placed in a slightly unusual place by placing it in a slightly shifted position to create an additional corner to be exploited in the living room or a room. The whole room will immediately gain a sophisticated and designer atmosphere.

It is also important to consider innovative furniture elements and combinations of different styles. Moreover, it is right to find materials, shapes and colours that suit every style and that can make a room truly have character.
