Coffee tables have become a staple of living room décor. But they’re not the only type of furniture that can hold your coffee and TV remote while you rest comfortably on your sofa, or impress guests by displaying a large picture book of architecture from around the world. If you’re ready to ditch the traditional oblong coffee table in favor of something that’s more fun or kid- and pet-friendly, you have plenty of options to choose from.
Plush ottomans are available in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and shapes, which means you’ll be able to find the perfect one to fit into your living space and complement your décor. Ottomans make great footrests, but a large one can also do the job of the traditional coffee table, plus double as seating when you have extra guests over to your apartment. What’s more, plush ottomans don’t have sharp corners for the kids to bump into, and you won’t find yourself constantly reminding your children to keep their feet off the table.
Tradition dictates that you place an end table on each side of your sofa, but these decorative and handy tables don’t have to stay in their conventional place. If your end tables are low enough, you can place them side by side in front of your sofa to serve the same purpose as a coffee table, then move them around whenever you want.
If it’s character you’re after, you can’t go wrong by replacing your ho-hum coffee table with a vintage trunk or hope chest. One of these alternatives will not only make a great conversation piece but also provide extra storage space—always a plus for renters!
