If before you buy furniture, ask yourself: Does it really work? Perhaps, most people will not pay the IQ tax.Furniture, as an indispensable part of the home space, their purpose of existence is to make home life more happy. If it doesn't reflect its practicality, or even has an impact on home life, then it's not worth the investment. Among the many pieces of furniture, I don't know if you have noticed that more and more families are no longer investing in the "coffee table".
As a standard piece of furniture in the past, the coffee table is obviously not as important as before. And what is the reason behind the fall from the altar? In this issue, let's talk about some things about the coffee table
Note: This issue will be divided into the above parts. If you have limited time, you can directly scroll down to find the location you are interested in and read ha
The living habits of the north and the south are different, and the starting point for buying furniture is also different. For example, there is a big difference in the starting point of the purchase of the coffee table.
In southern families, many people's original intention of buying a coffee table is to "drink tea and entertain guests", while in the northern region, the use of the coffee table is more functional, not only can be used to store various small objects, but also can be used as a dining table. Especially after relatives and friends come to the house, they basically use the coffee table instead of the dining table.
Although this phenomenon is not very common, it really illustrates the difference between the use of coffee tables in the north and the south.
From the perspective of home culture, whether it is the coffee table in the eyes of southerners or the coffee table in the eyes of northerners, they all play an irreplaceable role. And the coffee table is not just a piece of furniture, but a bond to maintain feelings.
It is precisely because the coffee table plays an important role and function in the family that this market is naturally a "must fight" for merchants. Nowadays, the coffee table on the market is even more dazzling, which dazzles consumers for a while.
According to the shape of the coffee table, there are many kinds of coffee tables that we can often see, such as: rectangular coffee table, square coffee table, round coffee table, coffee table that can be deformed and some irregular coffee tables.
If it is divided according to the material, the coffee table can be divided into glass coffee table, wooden coffee table, wrought iron coffee table, marble coffee table and rock slab coffee table and many other kinds.
Although there are many types of coffee tables, and their functional roles are also very important, it is undeniable that many families have "broken up" the coffee table, and even did not plan to invest in the furniture when the decoration was completed
The advantages of the coffee table are obvious to all, such as it can store things, can pick up guests, can be used as a dining table, and can enhance the atmosphere of life. But one thing must be admitted: there are also many "slots" on the coffee table. And this is the main reason why many families no longer invest in the coffee table.
1. Too empty
Meticulous people will find that whether it is a rectangular coffee table or a square coffee table, it will make the living room appear more crowded, and it will also affect the beauty of the living room. Many people may say that the house is too small! However, in most family houses, the living room is basically 3About 5 meters. Between the two walls, there is a TV cabinet and a sofa, and the space in between has been compressed. Therefore, after placing the coffee table, it will naturally look crowded.
2. It is easy to be bumped
For families with children, there should be no coffee table in the living room. Because the existence of the coffee table will not only seriously affect the space of the play area, but even accidentally bump into it. Therefore, many people's coffee tables have become decorations, either moved to a corner casually, or discarded directly.
3. Increase the burden of housework
It is undeniable that the coffee table is used as a piece of furniture to store household items, such as remote controls, tissue boxes, teacups and other objects will be placed on it, and the coffee table will also have stains and dust after a long time. Therefore, it invisibly increases the burden of housework. And every time you clean the living room, you get in the way.
4. The impact of alternative products
It is precisely because the disadvantages of the traditional coffee table are more prominent, so there are more and more alternatives on the market. For example, a small coffee table that can be moved, a small side table, and so on. These household items, which can not only meet the needs of storage, but also ensure enough space and smooth flow in the living room, are naturally becoming more and more popular.
In addition to the above reasons,Of course, there is also a point that many young people are more and more fond of "removing housework" decoration and "minimalist decoration".。In the eyes of many people, an empty home environment is the most livable home space. So not only the coffee table will be discarded, but even the TV cabinet will be "discarded".
There is no standard answer to whether to invest in the coffee table, after all, everyone's living habits are different and the budget is different. However, in the face of the dazzling array of coffee tables on the market and the criticism of many coffee tables, let's briefly talk about the purchase and pit avoidance guide of the coffee table.
1. Don't choose a large coffee table
No matter what shape the coffee table is, you must remember not to choose a large one. As mentioned above, there are pros and cons to the existence of coffee tables, but in general, large coffee tables "do more harm than good". Therefore, when purchasing, you should choose a small size as much as possible.
2. Do not choose a coffee table made of glass and rock slab
The coffee table made of glass and rock slab has a criticism that it is easy to break. The popular slate coffee table is not only easy to break, but also easy to crumble. I believe that many people like the material of rock slab, after all, it is beautiful and atmospheric, but the probability of overturning is too expensive, whether it is uneven gravity or accidental bumps, cracks or even direct fragmentation will occur.
3. Don't choose a coffee table that can be deformed
Since the deformation coffee table exists, it naturally has a certain value. But for most families, the money isn't worth the investment. Those who have come know that even if you put in the transformation coffee table, the frequency of really making it "transform" is very low. Most of the time, it's just used as a regular coffee table.
4. Don't choose a low-legged coffee table
One of the more frivolous things about the short-legged coffee table is that its bottom is a sanitary dead corner. Whether it's a robot vacuum cleaner or a mop, it's not easy to get in and clean the dust. And if you have to move it every time you clean it, it's too laborious and not humane at all. So if you choose a coffee table, be sure to avoid the short ones. Choose tall ones as much as possible, even if they are not tall, and consider being more than 20 cm above the ground.
end。That's all for the coffee table.
