living room has a relatively high status in our home decoration . It can be said to be the face of home decoration.
Therefore, many friends want to design the living room particularly well when decorating. Moreover, it basically adopts the traditional configuration of sofa and coffee table.
With the changes in lifestyle, many friends find that the role of the coffee table in the living room is getting weaker and weaker. This directly leads to more and more friends abandoning the coffee table in their living rooms.
Below, Home Furnishing Forum will share with you why the coffee table is abandoned in the living room, and what good designs are available to replace the coffee table.
What is the function of the coffee table in the living room?
If we want to understand the reason why more and more people do not put a coffee table in the living room, in fact, we should first understand why there is a coffee table in the living room.
Regarding the role of the coffee table in the living room, I personally summarize it as the following three points.
①, living room configuration requirements. In fact, is a sofa, and the coffee table is standard. Without the coffee table in the living room, the home feels incomplete.
②, the function of storage. In fact, the coffee table is nothing more than a storage of remote controls, paper towels, water cups, etc. that are commonly used in our living rooms.
③, the role of placement. The placement of means that some fruit plates, , and nut plates can be placed on the surface of the coffee table.
Why do more and more people not have coffee tables in their living rooms?
The function of the coffee table in the living room is explained above. You will find that its function has been replaced by some other designs.
Moreover, when placing a coffee table in the living room, there will be other problems.
The combination of these problems has led to more and more friends not having a coffee table in their living rooms.
①. Difficulty in space placement
Like the living rooms in many homes, they are not particularly big. And after we put a coffee table in the living room, it felt like half of the living room was occupied.
Therefore, we also feel that the flow of movement in our living room is seriously blocked, making movement very inconvenient.
②. Usage problems: The first type of usage problem of
is that it is easy to bump. Like many coffee tables, there are corners, and they are all square and right angles. Even if it's not an acute angle, the bump is serious.
In addition, if there are children at home, most of them actually like to play in the living room. This situation is more likely to cause collisions.
③. The problem of organization
The organization problem mentioned by
is that after using the coffee table in our living room for several years, we will find that it is a mess. Basically, they are filled with all kinds of snacks and sundries.
In fact, this is also caused by our living habits. For example, when we sit on the sofa and watch TV, we will inadvertently put some debris on the coffee table. In the end, the coffee table was full of clutter, and the living room felt messy.
What design options can replace the coffee table in the living room?
More and more friends are abandoning the coffee table in the living room. So we need to know what design options can replace the coffee table?
In this regard, Home Furnishing Forum recommends the following popular and very practical living room design solutions.
①. Carpet replaces the coffee table
The so-called carpet replaces the coffee table, which means that we no longer have a coffee table in the living room, but just put a carpet in the coffee table area.
In this way, we replaced the original coffee table with a carpet. This can make the space more spacious. Especially those with children at home are more suitable for this design.
In fact, the most popular living room design at present is the parent-child interaction area. You can also consider this design when designing.
②. Side table replaces coffee table
Some friends may not know much about side tables.
In fact, the biggest difference between side tables and coffee tables is their shape and structure. The side table is simpler and can be moved at any time.
So when we design the living room, we can also abandon the coffee table. Instead, use a relatively simple side table to place it on the coffee table.
When we usually need to use it, we put the side table in this position and put the remote control, paper cups and the like on it.
If we need to free up this space for children to play, we can move the side table to the wall. In this way, the space in the living room will be freed up, and the practicality will be higher.
Of course, we can also place the side table against the wall. For example, put it on the side of the sofa. At this time, we choose the ones with rounded corners, which are more beautiful.
③. A footstool instead of a coffee table
I guess many friends have the habit of crossing their legs when sitting on the sofa.
Many friends put a coffee table in the living room, and they can put their legs on the coffee table when watching TV.
At this time, we gave up the coffee table and chose a footstool. So we can use a footstool instead of a coffee table. The
footstool comes in various shapes, and the material is softer. It is actually more comfortable to use, and the decorative effect is also very good.

In fact, the decoration design of our home should be determined according to our living habits.
For the furniture in the living room, there is no need to pursue traditional matching. It is also recommended that everyone free up space and live more comfortably.
