Coffee Table Curiosity

When we decorate our homes, we usually approach it with two things in mind: functionality and style. Each of us has our own taste and this is reflected in the furniture that we acquire and the details that consume our space. This can be manifested in textures, materials, patterns, and design aesthetics. What really interests me is all in the details. I love how a pop of color or a perfectly placed piece of furniture can tie a whole design concept together.

A perfect example of this is demonstrated with a simple yet important piece of furniture – the coffee table. We often choose furniture purely for looks, but it is essential to carefully pick a coffee table that fits the space, serves its intended purpose, and brings you comfort and joy. Most of us use our coffee table on a daily basis, therefore it is imperative to find one that you really love. I spent years using an old handed down table that was too small, and quite frankly, too ugly. Once I upgraded, it transformed the space. So, if you are interested in upping your coffee table game, check out these amazing finds from some great retailers.
