Coffee Tables With Ottomans Underneath – As I found out while researching my Year in Review post a couple of weeks ago, one of the topics you love the most is my home decorating “how to” guides. I got great feedback from you guys about them, so thank you! I’m glad they were helpful and I’ll be planning for them to come again this year! Have specific topics you’d like me to cover? Feel free to let me know. I am always open to new ideas.

Coffee Tables With Ottomans Underneath
In today’s decorating guide, we’ll dive into how to choose a coffee table or ottoman for your living room. This may seem like a fairly simple solution, but if you’ve ever made a mistake, you’ve probably realized that it can be

Choosing the right one is more complicated than you think. We spend a lot of time choosing things like sofas and rugs, and coffee tables/poufs are usually out of date. However, this piece of furniture is usually one of the hardest working items in our home, so it deserves some attention! My goal is to explain a few key decision points that will help you know exactly what to look for when you’re looking to buy one. With this information, you can focus your search and be sure to get it right the first time.
Once you figure out the answers to these questions, you’ll be well prepared to find the perfect fit for your site! Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Choosing an ottoman or coffee table from the start will definitely help! The decision here is partly personal choice, partly practical. It is important to think about your needs and how you plan to use this piece of furniture. For example, do you want it to function primarily as a desk, or would you rather have a comfortable place to rest your feet? If you have children, is it important to have a piece with soft edges? What does your typical activity include? Do you need a hard surface table for games, food or drinks? Is it your TV viewing room that aims to create a relaxing setup?
Also, be sure to think about how you “live” in your living room or family room, what your current or planned seating arrangement is, and what other items (like side tables) are there that play a role in how you use the space. The bigger picture helps you think more holistically so that everything comes together to create a functional and beautiful room.
There are many coffee tables and ottomans with storage options, but before you choose, you need to know what will be there to make sure it meets these needs. Are these children’s toys? Blankets? Remote controls? Be sure to check the dimensions of the storage space to make sure it is the right size and shape. If they are not listed, call the seller and ask! I’ve noticed that some of the “storage” ottomans or coffee tables have this tiny space inside that doesn’t fit very well, so it’s worth finding out ahead of time.

Another way to think about storage is whether you can combine your desk or ottoman with baskets or bins. Sometimes an open coffee table with room underneath for a basket or two gives you the storage space you need and can be more flexible to change over time to suit your needs.
IT is important to get the coffee table or ottoman the right size, so I see a lot of mistakes being made here. People often choose one based on style without considering the dimensions and how it will fit with other furniture they already have. Only when they put it in their living room will they know it’s too big, too small, too low or too high! Let’s avoid that mistake!
In general, you want it to be functional and look in proportion to the other pieces

Room. Scale is important! If you have an exceptionally large living room or sofa, you might consider using two matching ottomans or coffee tables to fill the space and make the surface accessible to more people. Going this route has more options and is usually a bit cheaper than one giant creation.
Square, rectangle, round or oval? This decision depends on several factors from a design and practical perspective. When it comes to design, I like to consider other pieces when choosing a shape so that there is a good balance of rounded and straight pieces in the room. This balance helps the room feel both inviting and tailored at the same time. Too many sharp corners and it starts to feel cold and stiff; too many rounded edges and you lose some of the structure the room needs. So if the room already has a lot of square or rectangular pieces, perhaps a round or oval coffee table or ottoman would look best. If you have the opposite setup, try a rectangular or square piece.
From a practical perspective, you’ll want to think about flow. In other words, let people easily walk around the room and get from one place to another
