A coffee table can be the focal point of any room, but picking one can be a mission. The right side table should complement your existing furniture and help tie together the design and colours of your room. With so many different styles and options, there are several things to keep in mind when finding one perfect for you.
To help you narrow down your options, consider these tips on how to choose the best industrial style low table for your space.
Size It Up
Different spaces call for different sizes of coffee tables, so it’s essential to know precisely what you’re looking for. A small one in the centre of a large room will get easily lost in the space. However, an oversized table in a small space won’t be practical either. In addition to the size of the area you have, consider how you intend to use the table. If your family loves board games or if friends are over frequently to hang out, you should consider getting a bigger table that can handle all types of activities.
We offer several of our industrial coffee table designs in various sizes, from large rectangular versions to small round ones.
Decorative or Functional?
Traditionally, low tables provide a surface where drinks, snacks & remote controls can be placed. If this sounds like how you plan on using yours, then a standard variation may be the right choice. The Grand Oak Coffee Table celebrates the beauty of oak with a box frame and live edge top. However, if you want to use your coffee table as a form of storage there are options available, like The Warehouse Coffee Table V1 & V2.
Which Shape Would You Choose?
Your own style will more often than not, be the deciding factor when you make a purchase. A rectangular table is a typical choice, however, but round shaped ones are also great in their own way. Or, for the best of both worlds, choose a square-shaped low table.
The Brunel Coffee Table is a classic choice, featuring miniature versions of our Brunel table legs in the form of a rectangular coffee table – a classic choice. The Steampunk Round Coffee Table is the latest addition to our living room furniture range; with its decorative leg design, this table is designed to stand out. Or if you’re in the market for a square design, look no further than The Steampunk Coffee Table.
Choosing between Glass and Wood – Which is Best?
Glass and wood tables each come with their pros and cons – ones with glass tops are easier to clean, however, wooden ones look great.
So, why not have the best of both worlds with a coffee table that combines wood and glass? Our best-selling low tables do just this, we believe it adds a new element to the design.
Minimalism or Exuberance?
When it comes to industrial furniture, there is no ‘one size fits all’ – the industrial style has something for everyone; whether you like simple, slick lines or extravagant designs, we have it all.
Consider your surrounding pieces of furniture; some spaces call for no-fuss, minimalist designs just like The Artisan Coffee Table. Whereas, others suit unique pieces like The Pilot Coffee Table with its heavily distressed tabletop & intricate leg design.
Some people think that all coffee tables are created equal—and they’re wrong. Whether you have a large room or are short on space, is it a part of what defines your space. For your living room, bedroom, home office or anywhere else in your house where you set drinks and snacks down, choose a piece that complements the décor without getting in the way.
Your coffee table does not need to be boring; use this time as an opportunity to have fun with the design or use it to introduce a whole new style to your space. Discover all of our industrial coffee tables here.
