During your life as a homeowner, it’s common to hear compliments from your friends about things like your entry foyer, your kitchen cabinets, your sofa or the setup of your TV. But when it comes to things in your home, the coffee table typically gets very little recognition. Maybe that’s because it’s usually covered with stuff. This article from BrightNest takes a look at four different types of coffee tables, and what they say about you.
Is your actual coffee table is hidden beneath boxes of takeout, empty fortune cookie wrappers and a half dozen to-go cups? Congrats, you have a takeout table! No judgment here, takeout is delish.
But, this is likely a sign of larger food organizational problem. Clear the table of all food, and then it might be time to take a look at your refrigerator. Chances are, you have old food in your fridge that needs clearing out.
If your coffee table is spotless like an untouched snowy field, you may be neat to the point of uninteresting.
A coffee table, like a kitchen, is often a heart of the home. It’s where all the living happens: conversations with guests, dinners with your boo, or a glass of wine after a long day. Warm up this space by neatly stacking a couple coffee table books and placing design piece on top, like a piece of driftwood from a beach vacation or a decorative candle. A little design goes a long way!
