How much space should I leave between my sofa and coffee table?
You should leave about 16 to 18 inches between your sofa and coffee table. This distance keeps drinks, remotes, and books within reach while leaving enough room for knees and easy movement.
Key considerations include:
- In tight apartments, 14 inches can work if traffic is light and the table has rounded corners.
- In family rooms, 18 to 24 inches may feel safer for children, pets, and frequent walking paths.
- Keep the coffee table about one-half to two-thirds the length of the sofa for balanced proportions.
POVISON living room collections let shoppers pair sofas, sectionals, coffee tables, and side tables by size, material, and style. Before ordering, compare sofa length, seat depth, table width, table height, and the open floor space needed for comfortable daily use.
