Many people ask this question: “Does my table have to match my end tables?”. There are many reasons why this is a good idea, not the least of which is the fact that most of us are incredibly talented when it comes to coordinating our living spaces. While you don’t have to match your coffee table and end tables exactly, it might help you a lot to get them to look as close to each other as possible. Believe it or not, there are several different kinds of coffee tables on the market today, ranging from glass end tables to wooden end tables. If you want to be able to incorporate some really neat ideas into your living room without having to spend a fortune, here are a few tips on how to do so.
If you are looking for a really classy and elegant look, there are a couple of ways to do this. For starters, you can purchase a table with an intricate design, and have it professionally made. If you prefer not to pay the money, you can also find a beautiful table at a store where they sell tables, such as Living Room Warehouse or Pier 1 Importers. As you can see, choosing wood over glass is pretty easy these days. However, if you’re a little more traditional, I suppose having to match a table to a piece of wood may be more appropriate.
Another option when trying to find a coffee table that matches is to have it custom made. This option will require that you pay a bit more money up front, but in the end will probably give you a coffee table that fits better with the rest of your living room. Of course, if you have the funds, this is a great option. The downside, however, is that custom made pieces of furniture tend to be highly expensive.
Another possibility when trying to match a coffee table with end tables is purchasing two matching pieces. If you already have end tables that you’re using, this is an easy way to update the look of your room. You could choose to have one table entirely replaced, while leaving the other table in its current condition. Although this option can be somewhat costly, I recommend it because it would make your coffee table and end tables look completely different. You can also purchase the two tables together, which will give you a matching set.
The third option is to simply buy a coffee table that is made from a similar material as the rest of your furniture. For example, if your sofa, end tables, and loveseat are all made from hardwood, choosing a table made from the same wood would be a good idea. This works, because the two pieces would perfectly match one another. Of course, you’ll still need to ensure that they all share the same level of quality before putting them together, but this method will save you a lot of money in the long run.
So there you have it. Your first decision on whether or not your coffee table needs to match the rest of your home has been made. Don’t rush into anything and take your time. The end results will last longer, so enjoy the process. As long as you’re happy with the results, that’s all that really matters!
