Keep
The coffee table it is, with the permission of the sofa, key to the life of the living room, since it organizes the space, ensuring that there are no empty spaces, delimits the living area, accompanies the armchair, offers storage space and puts that decorative point that needs an environment to be cozy. In addition, it has the ability to adapt to the size of the space, personal habits (such as dining in front of the television) or storage needs.
When acquiring the ideal model, it is necessary to take into account the available meters, choose it last, after the sofa and the television cabinet, so that it does not remain neither soulless nor ‘eat’ ground to the main pieces and, although in principle it should not be higher than the seats, there can always be exceptions.
So that things can be reached and the legs enter comfortably, it is recommended place it about 50 cm from the seats. Regarding whether it is better to choose one or two, the floor plan of the room and the meters will mark the balance in one direction or the other. As a general rule, wide spaces allow a single XL table or several that provide dynamism and increase practicality, while when there are no more than enough meters, it is better to have a single one that is not too bulky or a nest model, which hides another one inside.
