Coffee Table Sets

Coffee table sets occupy an important place in a living room decor plan. Often chosen to complement or contrast with a sofa and chair set, coffee table sets must also have an aesthetic appeal that is distinctive and strong enough to prevent the living room decor from being dominated by its larger furnishings. These tips on coffee table set pieces and styles will help you strike that perfect balance in your living room.

Coffee Table Set Pieces
The coffee table sets here at CoffeeTablesGalore.com feature three different pieces: coffee tables, end tables, and console/sofa tables. Most of our coffee table sets are three-piece sets. This number can be achieved by the combination of a coffee table with two end tables, or sometimes a coffee table with a single end table and a console/sofa table.

Which coffee table set piece combination is best depends on the size of your room and its furnishings. A sofa that is difficult to position in a room because of its size or style can blend in easily when placed between two end tables with a coffee table in front.

A sofa table or console table is higher and longer than an end table. It's designed to hold decorative accessories and can be positioned against a wall or behind a sofa. When positioned behind a sofa, the increased depth a console table provides softens the sofa's silhouette, particularly when the table supports vases, glassware, or similar accessories.

Coffee Table Set Styles
Our coffee table sets can be separated into five different styles:

• Modern
  Modern coffee table sets feature clean lines and sleek forms with minimal ornamentation.
• Casual
  Casual coffee table sets can make use of both modern and traditional designs, but their frames and lines are less rigid and exude a more relaxed feel.
• Traditional
  Traditional coffee table sets are notable for their woodworking and use of more complicated and intricate motifs.
• Transitional
  The styles of transitional coffee table sets exist somewhere between traditional and contemporary. They're more sophisticated than casual, but not as clean as modern.
• Global
  Global coffee table sets is a catch-all term for designs that show an exotic influence in either their form or material.
