The height now hovers from 16 to 19 inches high, less than the 27 inches of a tea table, and around one to two inches lower than the seat of the sofa. The coffee table is usually two-thirds of the sofa’s length, with a space of 14-18 inches’ legroom in between, but of course you can make variations based on aesthetics, the floor area and how you utilize the space with your other pieces of furniture.
As in any space, you have to devise a floor plan so that you know how big the furniture pieces will be and also what kind of sofa and seating will suit you before you decide on the coffee table.An elliptical coffee table with decorative objects, placed diagonally for a long L-shaped sofaRectangular tables work well in front of a single sofa or when used between two sofas opposite each other.
