Coffee Cocktail Tables: The coffee, or cocktail table, is probably the most functional of the bunch. It is a low table typically placed in front of a sofa where magazines can be placed and coffee or cocktails served. Here, the general rule of thumb is that you should look for a table that is at or about the same height as your sofa or chair seat cushion, but no more than an inch or two shorter as you do not want it to be difficult or uncomfortable for your guests to reach. Another current design trend is to opt for the oversized ottoman as coffee table. By placing a tray on top of an oversized ottoman, you create a more stable surface and an attractive focal point.
Why are accent tables such a decorative buy? Well, it is because they are styled in a number of beautiful ways. For example, you can purchase one that has a stunning ornamental appearance crafted from wood with a cherry finished base that is filled with detailed woodworking while having a table top filled with a patterned design achieved by different colored veneers. Or, you could get one that has more of an Asian flare featuring slightly flared legs with a base finished in a rich black color, apron that has raised slats, and a two toned table top with a black outline and a red interior, all of which is adorned with delicate bird and floral accenting.
So when you begin searching for a few accent tables don't get frustrated by the small selection at your local stores. Instead try shopping online and you'll not only find the best selection, but also the best prices. Round and rectangle, wood or glass or even marble you are sure to find something to fit your style and your space.
There's area around your home for accent tables to be both functional as well as decorative. Pick tables that can serve greater than one purpose and also can make up for layout drawbacks in your home. As an example, a table beside the bath tub can hold towels on a bottom shelf, a spare bar or 2 of your favored soap in also a little cabinet, with an area for a favorite and also a perfumed candle on its top.
