Coffee tables are great for this, by the way. They are a centerpiece of the room and you can use them to create a tableau, a small snippet of a scene. For example, you can use three antiques together to create a little setting, perhaps a small tea set, a pair of period lace gloves and some opera glasses. Create scenes that tell a story.

Moving along, there are even more intricate choices in tables if you have a modern feel to your home. Nowadays, you can find many cubes made of leather, wood, Plexiglas, or even metal. They are often decorated with ceramic or stone to add a special touch to your living area. When you are choosing a table, make sure that it is the right size for your living space, leaving a little over a foot between the sofa and the table itself. As a rule of thumb, it's always a better idea to have a larger table than a table that is too small to use.

You can purchase an all glass table or a glass table paired with wood or paired with wrought iron. Glass gives the room an illusion of width because you can see through it which is great if you live in a small apartment or house. The author does not recommend glass on homes where there are small kids as glass has the tendency to break. When buying glass tables always be sure that you ask for tempered or treated glass because when this type of glass breaks it will not have sharp edges unlike untreated glass which has the tendency to break in large shards.
