What Goes With a Round Coffee Table? A Coordinating Guide

A round coffee table goes best with pieces that echo its soft outline without copying it exactly. In this coordinating guide we look at how to choose a sofa in the right proportion, why corner sofas and round tables work so well together, and how a round or rectangular rug can frame the seating area. We also explain how a few straight lined pieces, such as a sideboard, console or square side table, stop a room of curves from feeling vague. You will find advice on matching glass, wood, marble and metal tables to the rest of the room, building layered lighting when the table sits away from the walls, and styling the tabletop in loose clusters. Finally, we cover placement in awkward British rooms with chimney breasts, bay windows and two doors, plus answers to common questions about sizing, rugs and side tables for round coffee tables in everyday homes....
