A guide to choosing a cocktail table

Juddie Juddie

A cocktail table can also be called an occasional table or a coffee table. It is up to you to call it the way you want. These low tables are used in the the centre of living rooms . A coffee table is used to set down your mug of coffee, a cocktail, your feet or even just your favourite magazine. When choosing a coffee table, it will depend on your personality, because it completes the rest of the room.

Look for inspiration

You will find lots of ideas in magazines, when browsing the internet or simply by visiting furniture stores. You will be able to find many catalogs that offer endless ideas and where to place it around the room. You have many choices of tables retro, antique and many others to choose from. You just have to find the perfect one for your living room.
Pay attention to what you have Have a look at what you have around the room. Grab your measuring tape to find out exactly how much available space you have, because if a table is too large, you and your guests are going to find it very difficult to move around. Small tables on the other hand will look childish and awkward, and you might not find much use for it.

Style is everything

What is your style? Do you lean toward contemporary, traditional, eclectic or Asian? It is all about preference. If you love clean lines, you will not be satisfied with carved tables, and it wont matter how cheap it is. You will probably find that a chrome and mirror table won’t do it for you either. It is all about you. Think about the way you live your life Is your household busy with pets, friends or kids? If so, a pricey piece of antique will not do. If you live in a small space, you might want to find something that offers hidden storage. Count your pennies work out a budget Do not go to expensive stores, unless you are looking for some ideas there. If your budget is limited, secondhand stores could be the best choice. There, you will find something you want. You can decide to stain or paint it. A final word You will always find that restoring an old cocktail table is much cheaper than buying a new one.
