Add a Rustic Feel to Your Living Room with an Interesting Sofa Table

Sofa tables are a truly functional fixture in your living room. They can be used for a multitude of purposes – to keep your cup of tea while drinking, spectacles in-between reading and photo frames, lamps, flowers and other artwork for decoration. Rustic sofa tables are usually tall, long and narrow and are meant to be kept behind your sofa.

Following are some factors that will help you understand the features of these tables:

•    Styles

Basically there are two types of sofa tables - the traditional, simple ones with four legs and a platform table and more practical ones with multiple drawers and other storage space. Though, these tables are manufactured with a variety of materials like glass, metal, iron, chrome, concrete, fiber, etc. but rustic sofa tables are traditionally made of only hard wood and feature simple lines.

•    Size

Sofa tables are usually available in sizes of 16 to 40 inches in height, four to five feet in width and less than two feet in depth. Though there is no standard rule about the size of these tables, but keep in mind that as they are meant to be kept behind your sofa, they should not be higher than its back.

•    Functionality

A rustic sofa table not only accentuates the beauty of your house but also adds functionality by adding storage space, allowing you to keep some art pieces or photos, and provide extra task lighting by putting some lamps for you to read while sitting on the sofa.

•    Cost

Your beautiful rustic table adds another point of attention in your living room, therefore you should avoid being too stingy, while making a purchase. The cost of a sofa table will be similar to that of a coffee table. You can even purchase these as a set to create a more balanced look.

Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind while making the purchase:

1.    The sofa table should never be longer than the length of your sofa.

2.    Ascertain the space you have between the sofa and the wall, so that you can determine the depth of the table you should get.

3.    The table should also be lower than the back of the sofa. However, it shouldn’t be too low or you might need to climb over the sofa to get something that is placed on the table.

4.    If you have very limited space in your living area, you should opt for simple sofa tables but if you have enough area to conveniently open and close the drawers, you should buy a table with storage options.

So do your research, ascertain if you have sufficient space in your living area and get a beautiful rustic sofa table and add both functionality and décor to your house!
