Defined Tag: Round Coffee Table.

The first rule of decorating is that the round coffee table belongs in the living room. The second rule is to ignore the first rule. Coffee tables have existed in the living room for decades. These round tables were originally named for the habit of placing coffee cups on them. Now coffee tables refer to any small, decorative round table shorter than the height of a kitchen table. Just as these round tables are no longer dedicated to coffee service, they can also make interesting decorating statements when used elsewhere around the house.

You might own dedicated patio furniture, but a coffee table can serve just as well. You can move the coffee table from the living room to the patio on special occasions, or you can purchase one if you don't have patio furniture. If you purchase a round table for the patio, be sure the coffee table is unfinished wood that you can finish yourself. You can also order a round table that is made of weather resistant wood, such as redwood. Outdoor coffee tables are the perfect height for use with lawn chairs, and there are no sharp corners to catch an unwary knee.

Try a coffee table that is round in the toddler's room. Don't use one that has any glass in it. Although coffee tables are too low to make effective changing tables, there are benefits for the toddler. Toys placed on the table are reachable from any point. Toddlers can use the round table to learn to pull up, and eventually to stand. Because it is a round table, the child can toddle all the way around it without being interrupted by a right angle corner. You might want to attach a padded bumper around the coffee table's rim first.

Where do old coffee tables go to die? Most people throw them away. Your old round table can find new life in the garage. Wooden coffee tables can be used immediately, but glass topped coffee tables might require a round wooden top first. These tables are low enough to make great finishing tables for woodworking projects. A low round table can support a wooden piece at just the right height for staining or varnishing. The carpenter has access to all sides of the piece because of the round table on which it sits.

There are many brands and models of round tables that can be used for coffee in the living room. These round centerpieces serve as the focal point of the room, and designate a gathering place. Just because it fits there doesn't mean it has to stay there, however. A round coffee table can be used in almost any area of the house with the proper imagination.
