7 Golden Rules for Small Space Coffee Tables
- Never go wider than 60 cm if passage is narrow
- Choose light colours that match your floor (honey on light tiles, walnut on dark)
- Prefer open legs or glass tops — solid block bases make room feel cramped
- Always pick rounded edges in homes with kids
- Light-coloured wood or glass > dark wood in tiny rooms
- At least one storage feature is a must
- Height should never exceed your sofa seat height
