Recently there was a voice on the Internet:He advocates the complete abandonment of the coffee table, the so-called "return the living room space to yourself".
Whoever says it doesn't work!!
Let's be clear:Everything has adaptability, and the coffee table itself is not the original sin!
Although I agree that some small families do not want coffee tables, I do not agree with completely abandoning the category of coffee tables!
As far as furniture is concerned, the needs of each family are different, and they cannot be killed with one shot. Any absolute point of view does not have universal reference value, so don't blindly sit down.
Bloggers who say that they completely abandon the coffee table,Either no life experience, open your mouth and come; Either it is to follow the remarks of big v bloggers,Without thinking, everyone is the same
Whether you want a coffee table or not depends on the specific situation!
The main points are as follows:
1. People often come to the house, and the coffee table is used as a fruit plate, snacks, and tea display areaIt is used to entertain guests.
Increase living room storage. Daily snacks, TV remote control, paper towels and other trivial sundries can be stored on the coffee table and in the drawer below.
Meals are eaten daily. Compared with the south, many friends in the north usually like to eat on the coffee table, which is simple and convenient, and they can also watch TV by the way.
Tie the feet. Don't laugh, really, you know, lie on the sofa with your feet on the coffee table, don't be too comfortable [cover your face].
5. The living room is too bigThe coffee table makes the living room appear fullerAvoid space gaps.
So, whether you want a big coffee table or not, it depends on whether we have a demand for these functions!
In addition, if the living room is small, it will be very depressing to put a large coffee table, and it will also affect the passability, and it is easy to bump:
Speaking of which, if you're not going to buy a coffee table, you can paddle it off.
If you are going to buy,Then I will share with you two suggestions for choosing a coffee table:
1. Which coffee tables are not recommended to buy? Why?
2. How do insiders buy coffee tables?
Knowing which coffee tables are not suitable for buying, has avoided most of the pits.
Combined with my more than ten years of experience, as well as the actual use experience of netizens, I summarize the following 6 kinds of coffee tables, which are not recommended for everyone to start:
1. Deformation coffee table.
I advise everyone to be cautious when it comes to deformation products (except for tables with diving tables).
Deformed furniture generally seems to be very good, but it is actually a general existence!
The transformation function is used very infrequently and is troublesome to operate, and you will know it after using it a few times. Once the freshness is gone, it's the same as a regular coffee table, but you're spending a lot of money on it.
This kind of product is most afraid of bad hardware structure, once it is broken, it is troublesome to replace, and the maintenance cost is an expense.
2. Special-shaped coffee table
With the most Internet celebrity coffee tables, this type of coffee table is deeply liked by young female owners, looking fresh and cute, more distinctive:
But in fact, the use of functions is scarce, it can be said that it is purely a decoration!! It is incompatible with the living home, and there is a high probability that you will soon get tired of it!
Not only that, this special-shaped design, the most expensive can not afford it, the ordinary one is generally made of wood-based panels Oil mixing process, a little inattention to the bump, it will produce dents, cracks, and even this:
In addition, this kind of coffee table has certain requirements for the overall soft decoration design of the interior, otherwise even if you put it in, the effect is also Dongshi's effect, really!!
3. Traditional coffee table.
This kind of coffee table generally has a heavy base, and a layer of transparent white glass is placed on the surface, or imitation marble pattern.
It is a must-have furniture for parents
The volume is bloated, the hygiene is difficult, and the surface material is full of cheapness, because the material is mostly wood-based panels, so although the volume is large, it is generally not expensive. Compared with the modern decoration, it is too old-fashioned.
4. Combined coffee table without storage
There is this:
I can't put too many things, just put a few water cups, a few sides will be full, and I want to put other snacks and fruits, this light and fluttering shape, I am afraid that it will not be poured out.
The function of the existence is not sufficient, the convenience is also very general, stingy, in addition to the small Nordic style, others are really not recommended.
And this kind:
How so? Personally, I think it is difficult to put the effect at home
And it is precisely because many people buy this because they think it looks good, but in fact, most of them are not
9 out of 10 look cheap. Another one couldn't help but change it
5. Cheap veneer coffee table.
Similar to this, the surface is pasted with a layer of film, known as the solid wood coffee table
Many people don't understand solid wood furniture, thinking that as long as it is with wood grain, or the feeling of seeing solid wood is solid wood furniture, this kind of furniture is basically made of wood-based panels.
And it's a very cheap particle board!
As long as the skin is broken, it will soak if it is dipped in water. The firmness is very poor, and after a period of load-bearing, several sides may begin to sink and deform.
Don't try to be cheap, buy this kind of parallel solid wood.
.Everyone is welcome to add.
That's not recommended to buy it, so let's start with the second point:
Out of all the furniture materials, I would recommend everyone to chooseSolid wood coffee table.
Some people will ask: solid wood must be better than other materials?My answer is yes!
Solid wood is the first choice for living, although compared to other materials can create different design effects, solid wood appears much more honest, which does not prevent its unique properties, as well as the strength of timelessness!
Whether it's Chinese, American, European. Solid wood coffee tables are basically standard, but the style and surface craftsmanship are slightly different.
As the main material, the tree absorbs the nutrients of the sun and the moon, and the earth, which is the so-called "" of the older generationWood raises peopleIt's not groundless.
In terms of style, I think it's better to try to keep the coffee table as simple as possible, there is no need to be too fancy, it's simple, and it's generous.
In addition, it is best to bring some small storage drawers, so that you can keep several sides tidy and look much more comfortable.
Let's just use two specific styles for your reference:
1. Small cherry wood coffee table.
Simple shape, with delicate and soft cherry wood material, looks clean and warm;
Four-legged support, the bottom is easy to take care of, and a drawer is made in a limited space to store some miscellaneous items.
Ideal for small to medium-sized apartments.
2. North American black walnut coffee table.
Once there is a coffee table, water cups, mobile phones, chargers, snack fruit plates, remote controls, etc., will appear on it, in order not to be too careful, the surface can choose this kind of rock slab, especially friends who like to eat on the coffee table.
Not afraid of being hot, not afraid of dirty.
It is equipped with several large drawers to complement the storage in the living room.
Large units are available.
If you don't plan to use a regular coffee table, in order to facilitate daily use, you can consider moving a small trolley, which has a lot of storage and does not take up space, and needs to be moved to**.
Or this side table:
