Evaluate your space & needs

If you’re unsure about your current setting, don’t be scared to play around with it. It’s all about trial and errors. Then, think about what you expect from your coffee table. Do you want it to be a space to display beautiful books? Do you need a spot to put your coffee while you’re reading a magazine? Do you want to be able to rest your feet on it? All of that will help you to narrow down your options.
