Interior designer Huong Vu is a strong advocate for the use of round coffee tables, especially in spaces that serve multiple purposes or in homes with young children or pets. “Opt for a round coffee table whenever feasible, as it facilitates easy circulation within the space and minimizes the risk of accidents,” she suggests. This advice is particularly pertinent in multipurpose rooms like a family or recreation room, where the table may need to be easily moved to accommodate various activities.
This idea of pairing a brown leather couch with a round black table is a prime example of Vu’s advice in action. The black table stands out against the white and gray rug layered over a tan braided rug, and beige throw pillows accent the couch, creating a harmonious balance of colors. The table’s placement in the center of the room not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds to the functionality of the space.
