Whenever we think about redecorating our living space, we focus on buying standout furniture, right? Well, modern furniture like velvet sofas, coffee tables, couches, etc., is mandatory, but what happens when the furniture you buy does not fit or suit your space? What will you do then? Here, the planning before buying comes where you understand how the furniture you buy will work together. We are Modish Furnishing—a trusted furniture brand in the UK that knows a well-designed home begins with harmony and perfect pairing. In this blog, we will explore various ways to match sofas with coffee tables to create a lasting impression. So, drive down!
Sofa and Coffee Table
The sofa and tables are the core of a living room, as they anchor the room, influence flow, and describe how your space feels. For example, if you want a luxurious living room, then you will surely opt for a velvet sofa set with a glass coffee table. Similarly, for a minimalistic appearance, you go for neutral colour schemes.
See, the choices and matching play a role. Furthermore, today’s modern furniture comes in curves that can also transform your living room. Let’s explore with Modish Furnishing how you can pair a sofa with a coffee table just right.
Why Pairing is Important?
When you pair a table with a sofa set or other accessories, it makes your dead space alive. But here, the right pairing matters; otherwise, your luxurious furniture will look out of place.
Make your living area intentional, elegant, and viable with wise pairing. You should not forget that the secret of a beautiful space lies in the balance, whether you buy a bold ceramic coffee table and pair it with a velvet curved sofa.
Quick Tip
It is better to decide on the focal point first. For instance, make your coffee table the focal point and complement other pieces around it to create a subtle contrast.
Understanding Proportion and Balance
Let’s picture it—you live in a small apartment and want to upgrade it. You visit the Modish Furnishing online store and fall in love with our Louise Mink Truffle velvet curved sofa. Now, the issue is your room size. If you buy it, place it in your room, and then pair it with a tiny coffee table, it will look awkward.
Here, let us share the golden rule: your coffee table should be 2/3 the length of your sofa, and the height of the table must be equal to or slightly lower than the seat cushion. This ratio will create a visual flow and a pulled-together look.
Quick Tip
Before going to furniture stores in the UK, please measure your space and compare it with the product dimensions mentioned in the product description.
Mixing Materials the Right Way
When we talk about pairing, one thing that comes to mind is the matching of the same materials or colours. But it is not like that. When we pair a furniture set with another, it means we create a balance. Let's take some examples. A velvet sofa can match well with a ceramic coffee table. Furthermore, a brushed gold or black table works awesome with bouclé corner.
Mixing is an art, and you have to master it. Let us share some suggestions. For a contrasting impact, use a linen or bouclé sofa and pair it with hard finishes like stone or ceramic. This combo will create a visual depth and add a designer touch to your room.
Colour Pairing: Soft Contrast, Strong Impact
Do not underestimate the power of colour. The tone helps us create a cohesive story. See how:
-
A stone sofa seater, when paired with a black marble table, will look elegant.
-
A grey or cream velvet sofa, combined with neutral or white ceramic-top tables, will not overwhelm your space.
