Living Room Decorating #2: 8 Things to Put in Front of Sofa


     A sofa is probably the largest piece of furniture in its main hall, which would be one thing, a great piece covered with cloth seats. And if you sit on a sofa, which, doubtless want a place to put things like magazines or drinks, so you can easily reach them.
     However, there are possibilities of a mobile in front of a sofa, storage, a flat surface for decorative pieces, or simply a pleasant change in the appearance of upholstered furniture can provide.
Here are some of our proposals for a mobile front of the sofa. If a job for your home?

  • Coffee Table
     Of course, that's all the first option. The tables are of different sizes, heights and metal, glass, painted or natural wood. A traditional coffee table, you can have a glass top, you can choose between metal or solid wood or high gloss finishes, as the center of attention in space.

     A coffee table should be proportional to the size of the room and the couch before you have chosen. A look odd square table is wide room table with a small oval piece of thin glass, like a small room is filled with a heavy paint, dark space.

     Before buying a coffee table, put a large piece of newsprint or wrapping paper to determine the ground in front of the sofa of an appropriate size and shape. You can reduce or increase the paper to get the balance right for the rest of the furniture and rooms.

     When shopping for a coffee table, taking measurements of the table with you, becomes a map of the room and determine the best measures. It may be difficult to have exactly the right size, but this will help.

  • A coffee table ottoman
     The combination of the top of a table with a cushion of a sofa, instead of seeing the city to relax the feet of space and comfort products. Normally in this type of design, the ottoman, drag the table from the bottom up, ie you can set the top and the pillows are used simultaneously.

  • A large ottoman
     When mobile home owners are preparing for comfort, the ottoman took center stage for many sofas. In fact, an ottoman upholstered or just a big chair or bench. This is a perfect piece for use in front of a couch, as the soft top provides comfort for your legs, take tissue color and structure of the room and the dish is large compartment for books is perfect marketing or .

  • A few small tables
Two small square tables, side to side to give a little "more formal than the very modern coffee table. A couple looks better, but a set of tables that do not match exactly the same height, are used along with plans correspondence. If you have some small antique tables, this may be the ideal place to use them.

  • A picnic bench
     For a very rustic style home or a house, a long wooden bench under a perfect game. The long and flat top that works well to place the books and drink without adding too much formality.

  • A piece of glass
     A large table, a pair of concrete pillars, interesting sculptures and vessels of large size can be adapted as a sound basis for a piece of 1 / 2 inch thick beveled edge glass mirror to create the perfect size. This is a good choice for a very small space, how can the bases as close or far as you want and take the place of glass, fit your space. Note that the larger the glass, the more difficult it is. Thus, the foundation must be strong enough to withstand the weight.

  • An old dining room table
     This is the perfect place to set a table. Of course, you have the legs to the proper height (between 15 "and lower 22") for your living room, but the large surface area is more convenient for many purposes, including games, homework, and fun.

  • A piece of iron fencing
     Find a piece of decorative wrought iron fence or a gate, and have a wooden frame. Put a piece of 1 / 2 inch thick beveled glass on the edge of an iron surface.
You can see that you can use almost anything for a coffee table. Note that the piece should be sturdy, well proportioned and durable, and wear and comfort in every room.
