Question Hello,
We currently are decorating our just moved-into apartment. We bought a new chocolate/dark brown couch and recliner and are focusing on using a slightly bolder bright blue as our accent color. However, we are still without a coffee table or end tables, and I have no idea what design, color or shape I should choose. The space created by the recliner and couch is a little lengthy, thus I think it should be a little longer - but do I do rounder, squarer, glass, glass with a blue tint? Please help! I'd appreciate any input.
Thank you so much,
Milli
Answer Hi Milli, choosing the right coffe table is more of a personal choice. It can be any shape or material you like, it's basically one that instantly appeals to you. Just be sure to choose one that is about 2/3rds the length of your couch. If you want the make your room feel light and airy, select an all glass or acrylic table. You can place a decorative item, in blue, on your table; ie. a wooden bowl filled with large glass blue balls. Your end tables can be a different finish from your coffee table, they don't have to match with it.
I also offer an 'Ask the Decorator' service on my website. I would be happy to be of further assistance to you if needed.
Thank you, for your time.
