Finally finding the perfect sofa is a huge relief. You have selected the perfect combination of form and function to add just the right touch to your personal space. Whether it is a leather sofa, a fabric loveseat, a recliner sectional couch or just the perfect fabric chair, sinking into your perfect seat is something to look forward to at the end of every day. But, perfect as your new accent couch may be, where do you put your drink?
Unless you have chosen something with a console and cupholders built right in, there will come a time when you wish that you had a horizontal surface available to put a hot cup of coffee, a cold beer, or just a place to put your remotes so they don’t disappear in the sofa’s depths. A coffee table is the natural solution. If you want something simple or prefer something luxurious, there is absolutely a coffee table that is right for you.
A Warm Wood Coffee Table Is Sure to Go With Everything
It doesn’t matter what type of upholstery is on your sofa, or what your décor style is, the natural beauty of wood goes with everything. A combination of design, wood type and stain colors mean that wood can be endlessly versatile. From a white oak coffee table whose simple and minimalist design will look at home nearly anywhere, to a modern option finished with grey veneered wood, a wooden coffee table speaks to high quality materials and timeless appearances.
Looking For Something More Opulent? Add Some Marble
One of the only drawbacks to a completely wooden coffee table is the wood top. Though beautiful, some of the most beautifully finished pieces can be prone to collecting condensation rings on the top of the table from when a cold glass sweats on the tabletop. If you — or someone that you live with — aren’t the best at using coasters, a wooden table with a marble top may be the perfect solution. Marble isn’t afraid of a little condensation, the combination of wood and marble looks wonderful together, and also ensures visual interest to the coffee table. For example, a slab of black marble with deep walnut wood is the perfect coffee table for a study or man cave, while a marble coffee table featuring a white marble top combined with an oval black painted wood base is sure to add a touch of depth to a lighter and brighter room.
The Perfect Marble Coffee Table Stands Out In A Crowd
If you want a marble coffee table that is made entirely of marble, there are options there as well. Marble coffee tables are beautiful, durable, and are a statement piece that will add elegance to any home. Even the simplest slab of white Carrera marble paired with sleek black metal legs will enhance your décor. This type of marble coffee table can last several lifetimes, as Carrera marble was used in many pieces of Ancient Roman construction that still stand to this day.
If you love to entertain outside, there are also marble options that are suitable to leave out in the weather. An oversized coffee table that is completely made out of marble is ready for the elements, but also lovely enough to be invited inside your house if that is more your style.
Stone or Concrete Coffee Tables For Fair Weather Days
If you still are looking for a coffee table that plays well with the elements but is maybe a little more rustic than a marble coffee table, something like a stone or cement coffee table may be a great solution. The perfect outdoor sofa still needs a good place for drinks and snacks, after all. Both stone and concrete coffee tables can be slightly more rustic in appearance, but will still hold up well to whatever the weather has in store. A simple monolithic cement coffee table will tie your outdoor lounge space together, while a round coffee table made of white or black stone softens the appearance of the hard materials.
It doesn’t matter what sofa you have chosen to grace your lounge area, the coffee table to hold all of your snacks, drinks, and treasures is the second most important part. From a graceful wood and marble coffee table to a cement coffee table in the shape of a rectangular monolith, coffee tables come in all shapes and sizes, and one is sure to suit your needs.
