The Do’s and Don’ts of Choosing and Placing Coffee Tables in the Living Room!


1. It is important to choose the right coffee table in the living room


The choice of coffee table reflects the owner's taste. At the same time, when choosing, you should pay attention to its integration with other furniture in the living room, especially the sofa. In home feng shui , the sofa is often the host and the coffee table is the guest, and the two must coordinate.




1. Shape and color


Generally speaking, the best shapes for coffee tables are rectangular and oval (including round) . Avoid coffee tables with sharp corners, and odd-shaped coffee tables are also not a good choice. The color should be selected according to the numerology of the occupants, which is more conducive to the family's fortune. In addition, when choosing a color, it is best to choose the same color as other furniture to avoid too big a color jump, otherwise it will look tacky if you choose it improperly!



2. Materials and Style


This is also very important. When choosing a coffee table, you must pay attention to its style to match the overall decoration style. For example, a coffee table made of glass and metal has a clear and bright texture, which is very consistent with the modern and fashionable decoration style.




3. Size and height


The size of the coffee table should be chosen in conjunction with the sofa. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the sofa is the host and the coffee table is the guest. Therefore, the sofa should be tall and the coffee table should be short. In addition, when people sit on the sofa, the coffee table should not be higher than the knees. The size of the coffee table should also match the length and width of the area enclosed by the sofa. It should not be too large or too small. If the coffee table is too large, it will appear to be the main guest, and if it is too small, it will appear insignificant. At the same time, there must be enough space between the sofa and the coffee table to facilitate home life.


2. Tips on how to place the coffee table


Coffee tables are generally used in the living room to place tea sets to entertain visiting guests. Therefore, normally, coffee tables are placed in front of or on both sides of the sofa.




1. Suitable placement of coffee table


When using a tea table, it should be placed in a relatively fixed place and not moved at will to avoid disturbing Feng Shui. If the space in front of the sofa is not enough to place a tea table, you can put it next to the sofa, especially in a narrow and long living room. The tea tables on both sides of the sofa are like a green dragon and a white tiger protecting the person sitting on the sofa, so that the person sitting on the sofa can have the assistance of his left and right hands. This not only effectively utilizes the space, but also conforms to the principles of Feng Shui.


2. Wrong placement of the coffee table


The coffee table should not be placed opposite the main door. If the coffee table is in a straight line with the main door, it is called "counterattack" in Feng Shui, which will cause wealth to be scattered everywhere. In this case , it is best to move the coffee table away, or place a screen between the two to form a barrier between the main door and the coffee table to prevent the airflow from the main door from directly hitting the coffee table.
