What size wooden coffee table should I get for my living room?
It’s less about exact numbers and more about the feel. A good rule? Your coffee table should be roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa — enough to look intentional, not overpowering. Leave about 14–18 inches between the table and your seating so legs can stretch, feet can rest, and you’re not playing obstacle course in your own home. Compact room? Go sleek. Bigger space? Go bold. Always go with what feels natural.
What is the best wood for a coffee table?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re after strength with timeless charm, oak is your ride-or-die. Want something a little moodier and more refined? Walnut’s deep tones bring the drama (in the best way). Acacia brings warmth and character with an unpredictable grain that never gets boring, and teak? That’s your go-to if you want something that can handle a bit of everything — kids, spills, life.
How do I care for my wooden coffee table?
Wood is forgiving — but it does have its limits. A quick dust here, a wiped-up spill there, and you’re golden. Coasters are non-negotiable (we don’t make the rules), and if you want to treat it right for the long haul, give it a gentle polish now and then.
