Coffee Table Size & Placement Guide

Choosing the Right Coffee Table for Your Lounge

A coffee table should complement your seating area without overwhelming it.

Guidelines for Size & Placement:

• Height: 40–45cm high — generally 2–5cm lower than your sofa seat.
• Length: Approximately 2/3 the length of your sofa.
• Clearance: Leave 40–50cm between the table and surrounding seating for easy movement.

Style Tips:

• Natural, handcrafted timber, or stone tables add texture and personality.
• Consider round or oval tables for small lounges, and rectangular for large spaces.
