*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Not everyone appreciates coffee tables, but those who do know that finding the right one is like picking out the perfect piece that will finish off the puzzle of their room nicely. Like with any other kind of furniture, there are many different options when it comes to coffee tables. They can be made of many different materials and come in so many various styles that it is enough to make your head spin. Of course looking at coffee tables does entail making a rather large investment, so there are some important things that should be kept in mind as you look.

Style

The very first thing you will notice about coffee tables is the style they evoke. Usually style is the very first thing that will catch your eye when you are looking at coffee tables. There might be just one or two that stand out as being the perfect addition to your home. Style can be modern, contemporary, classic, rustic, or elegant. Not everyone enjoys the same style of furniture, so this step in the overall process of shopping for coffee tables is certainly one of personal preference. However, it is very important because it can help to narrow down the choices. Just look for a table that will complement the rest of the furniture you already have. It should be an accent piece that is also functional rather than the centerpiece of the room. It should also look like it matches with the overall d�cor of the room, including any other accents that might be there, like a fireplace or crown molding.

Design and Materials

The design and materials the table is made out of go hand in hand with the style, but these are important features to consider also. For example, some tables have a top that looks like tiles. These tiles may be removable on some tables, so it will help to think about whether this is beneficial for your home. Parents of small children may not like removable tiles, but couples with older children or no children at all may actually prefer removable tiles because they are much easier to clean. It all is a matter of preference. Glass is another beautiful choice in this type of table, but not every household will do well with it. Homes with pets that put their noses on the glass all of the time may not appreciate glass as much as more elegant homes that do not have any pets.

Space and Function

Shoppers should also make sure to measure the amount of space they have available for the table. It helps to start by knowing the length and height of the couch it will sit in front of. Next figure out the overall space in the middle of the room and remember to leave plenty of space for people to walk. A table that is too large for the space you have will only make it look cluttered and result in a lot of bruised kneecaps. The function of the table is also very important. You should think about coasters if the table has a top made of wood or some other surface that can be damaged by the moisture on the outside of glasses. If the table will need to hold books and magazines, think about tables that have ways to hide these away. Some tables raise up and have storage underneath or inside of them, while others may have an open shelf underneath that is perfect for shoving random books or magazines. Also try to imagine what kinds of decorative elements you might put on top of the table and look for a surface that will complement them.
