How big should a coffee table be compared to a sofa?
1 Answer
Compared to a sofa, a coffee table should be about two-thirds of the length of a sofa. For example, if a sofa is 95 inches long, the coffee table should be roughly 62 inches wide to create a balanced look. In terms of height, a sofa should be around 2 inches taller than the coffee table. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of coffee tables.
