Round Coffee Table to Fill Small Spaces
Author: Masni Rizal Mansor
Finding the right piece of furniture to fill an empty space in a small room, and still be functional, a round coffee table may fit the bill. Especially if there is an 'L'-shaped couch involved.
To provide a place for coffee cups, soda bottles or snacks, without the option of a round coffee table it may take two other shapes or the need to place the table at an angle so persons on both sections of the sofa can use it. Angling a rectangular table, however, can eat up space that may not be available.
A round coffee table may fit nicely into the junction of an 'L'-shaped sofa, but it can also fit neatly near a wall and serve as an end table, depending on its size. Additionally, the height of any coffee table should be consistent with the height of which ever piece of furniture it will front, so as to fit into the design of the room.
Other Furniture Benefits From Coffee Table
Sofas are not always the best piece of furniture, however for a round coffee table and a love seat or a much shorter sofa may be a better option. Most rectangular tables will be too long for placement in front of a loveseat, whereas a loft seat may be the place for one. Again, it is dependant on its diameter.
A larger diameter round coffee table would probably be better suited in a larger room, where in a smaller room a smaller table would be in order. As in most coffee tables, many designs, colors and materials are used in round coffee tables and are designed to fit just about any décor.
Whether made of steel, plastic or wood a round coffee table may also be fitted with a drawer or shelf underneath it, to hold magazines, coasters to protect the surface or whatever else may be kept out of sight until needed and available for convenience.
Another non-traditional use for a round coffee table could be as a child's play table as they are usually small enough to be able to sit on the floor, as many children usually do, and then use the table for game play or perhaps putting together puzzles. With is circular shape, there won't be any "sides" to be taken by one person and it could help avoid those types of confrontations
