After living in the house for a long time, I found that the coffee table is not a standard feature of the living room. It can be replaced with these 5 things, which are not only practical but also beautiful.

✔Dining table instead of coffee table

Especially for small apartments with limited space, you might as well use a dining table instead of a coffee table to form a living and dining room in one. When guests come to your home, they can sit at the dining table to drink tea and chat, and they can watch TV while eating on weekdays, creating a better dining atmosphere.

You can also choose a foldable dining table, which can be put away when you are not eating, taking up less space and can be used as a desk.

If you want to dine more comfortably, you can make the sofa into a booth. This way, it will better match the height of the dining table. In addition to dining, you can also use it for office work, reading, handicrafts, etc. It is equivalent to a functional area. Using acrylic panels for the table legs adds a touch of lightness.

✔ Side table instead of coffee table

The coffee table is usually located in the middle of the living room, and it occupies a large area. Usually, it only meets our simple storage functions. If we don't take good care of it, it will be filled with miscellaneous items. It is better to use a side table instead of a coffee table, which is more compact and can also be used to store simple items, making the living room more spacious.

When not in use, place it next to the sofa. When in use, move it out and place it in the middle of the living room to make space utilization more flexible. If you have a baby at home, lay a carpet to avoid danger from bumps and allow the baby to play freely.

✔Sofa corner shelf instead of coffee table

If the sofa is not placed against the wall, you can make use of the position of the sofa's backrest and customize a corner rack to complete the storage. The compartments make the storage divisions clearer and easier to take. However, it is best to make the corners curved to avoid accidental bumps when walking.

With this storage rack, it can provide certain support for the sofa that is not against the wall. You can put small non-slip pads on the feet of the sofa to prevent it from moving backwards.

Similar to the corner rack, there is also a storage rack, which is also small and unique in shape. You can use the armrests of the sofa to clip the storage rack on it. There is a groove on the table top so that water cups are not easy to tip over when placed on it, and you can also place books on the side.

✔Foot stool instead of coffee table

Everyone feels that after getting rid of the coffee table, there is no place to put their feet. Instead of using it to put their feet, it is better to prepare a special footstool. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable, not cold for the feet, and easy to move?

Or you can choose a larger footstool like this one and put a tray on it to replace the function of the coffee table. It can be used as both a seat and a storage space, flexibly meeting various needs in life.

✔Children's toy table instead of coffee table

When there are children at home, adults will always make concessions and create a good environment for them. For example, they can place a children's toy table in the place of the coffee table, which makes it convenient for them to look after the children playing in the living room while they are busy in the kitchen.
