Like the relationship between an article of clothing and the overall outfit, your furniture looks its best when surrounded by pieces that complement each other. A perfect sofa, for example, needs the right end tables to go along with it. If you’re not sure how to go about choosing them, the team at Bova Contemporary Furniture will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Offering the best in everything from dining room tables to desks and serving Dayton and Cincinnati, Bova Contemporary Furniture has what you need. 

How To Match A Sofa With An End Table

Choose The Right Height

Matching two pieces of furniture is an art. There isn’t necessarily a “perfect” pairing because personal taste plays such an important role in the decision, but there are a few guidelines you may want to follow. When it comes to comfort, it’s usually a good idea to pick an end table that’s close to the same height as the sofa’s arms. That said, there are “nesting” end tables that can allow you to break the rules. These tables essentially have two surfaces, one sightly higher than the other. In this instance, it’s reasonable to select one where the top surface is higher than the arms of the sofa.

Consider The Room’s Design

When it comes to the material, there are many factors to consider, including the pattern, color, texture, and associated maintenance. You should choose a design that appeals to you and also fits in with your lifestyle. For instance, if you share your household with a cat, shy away from glass furniture—otherwise, you may find scratches on the tabletops.

There are many design do’s and don’ts that change with time, but ultimately, it’s up to you whether you want to follow convention or pioneer a bold, new look. If you want an outside opinion before making a purchase, the associates at Bova Contemporary Furniture are happy to lend their expertise. Generally, most homeowners prefer to match wood types and maintain some consistency with furniture styles in the same room.
