How to choose a coffee table for the living room
Coffee table sizes beside the sofa, height, and why ceramic coffee tables work in a real living room. Custom TILES tables.
A coffee table is the first piece guests see in the living room. A poorly chosen coffee table blocks the sofa or disappears on the rug. A well chosen coffee table lines up seating, light and the walkway. This guide is for anyone looking for a living room coffee table in ceramic.
Measure the sofa first
A coffee table should be about two thirds the sofa length. A 240 cm sofa usually wants a 140–160 cm coffee table, not 200 cm. Height sits around 40–45 cm, close to the seat. Leave 40–45 cm between sofa and coffee table. A corner sofa often works better with a square coffee table or two smaller living room tables.
Why ceramic coffee tables
Ceramic tables handle cups, vases and daily wiping. A ceramic coffee table does not need coasters like unfinished wood. Marble on a coffee table reads cooler. Mirror on a coffee table spreads light in a small living room. TILES coffee tables are made to measure: ceramic format, colour and edge are yours.

Coffee table style
A quiet Mono coffee table calms the room. A Mosaic coffee table becomes the living room focus. A Mirror coffee table helps a narrow apartment. Whatever the pattern, it is still a coffee table — function first.
