How big is too big for a coffee table?

The length of your coffee table should be approximately 2/3 the length or width of your sofa. If your coffee table is too long or too short it will appear out of scale and will feel awkward in the space. The height of a coffee table is important. It should be no lower than 1-2 inches from the seat of your couch. The standard height for a table is 16-18 inches and pairs well with a typical sized couch.

A higher sofa requires a taller table, one that is 20-21 inches in height. The taller table will also be more convenient if you entertain a lot, as it will be easier for guests to set down a glass or a plate. If you require more space then you may want to consider a coffee table sets with side tables included.
