Coffee Tables: Sizes, Shapes and Finishes
Updated
Choose a coffee table about two thirds the length of your sofa, within 5–10 cm of the seat height, and place it 40–45 cm from the seat so everyone can reach a cup without standing. For a three-seat sofa of 190–230 cm, that means a table of about 120–140 cm. KLIK Decor coffee tables start from SAR 1,610 for the standard size, come in a larger size as well, and are made to order in the finish you choose. Browse coffee tables with their sizes and prices, or majlis coffee and side tables to match a centre table with side tables.

Which shape suits your room?
- Rectangular: the natural partner of a straight sofa or a long corner run; it leaves walkways at both ends.
- Square or equal-sided: centres a U-shaped corner sofa or a set arranged around a table, so every seat is the same distance away.
- Low and wide: suits a deep, low sofa and a relaxed family room; tables of 35–40 cm sit well with lounge seating.
- Compact: a 56 cm table works beside an armchair or in a small room where a full table would block the way.
Coffee tables in a majlis
In a majlis the table serves coffee, tea and dates to guests along the walls, so reach matters more than looks. Use one long table, or two, down the centre for continuous seating, and add side tables at the corners. With floor seating, choose a much lower serving table, about 30–35 cm. For a full plan, read how many tables a majlis needs.
Planning a coffee corner at home
- Measure the equipment first: the coffee machine's width and depth, the space to refill water and open the lid, and its installation instructions.
- Keep it near a socket, so no cable crosses a walkway, and out of children's reach.
- Separate preparing from serving: keep the machine and beans on a work surface or cabinet, and leave the coffee table free for cups and the tray. A low living-room table is not a work surface for hot equipment.
- Add shelves for cups and beans above or beside the corner, so the table stays clear.
Finishes and materials
You choose the finish of each coffee table in the 3D studio from the colours and finishes available for that design. Ask about the material of the top, the edges and the base before you order, and do not judge the material from a photo alone: a wood-coloured finish does not tell you how the table is built. The final finish name is confirmed in your written specification.
Styling without crowding
- Leave at least half of the top free for cups and serving trays.
- Group objects in odd numbers, a tray with a vase and two books, rather than spreading them out.
- Keep tall flowers or lamps off the table, so guests can see each other.
- Styling accessories in our photos are not included with the table.
Care for everyday use
- Use coasters and mats under hot cups, and wipe spills straight away, then dry the surface.
- Never soak the edges or joints; a lightly damp cloth is enough for daily cleaning.
- Check the finish instructions before using polish, disinfectant or an abrasive cleaner.
- Keep the table out of strong direct sun where you can; our furniture care guide has the basics.
Coffee tables with a corner sofa or a sofa set
- L-shaped corner sofa: centre a rectangular table on the longer run, about two thirds of that run's length, or on the corner if both runs are used equally.
- U-shaped corner sofa: a square or equal-sided table keeps every seat at the same distance.
- Sofa set with facing sofas: a rectangular table centred between them, with 40–45 cm to each seat.
- Chaise: keep the table clear of the chaise, so whoever lies on it can still swing their legs down.
Standard or large size?
Choose the large size, about 10 cm longer and wider, in front of a three-seat sofa of 230 cm or a corner run of 5 m or more, or when the table serves a majlis. In a small room or between two armchairs, the standard size leaves more walkway. Mark both on the floor with tape and sit on the sofa before you decide.
With young children at home
Choose a stable table with softer corners, such as an equal-sided or oval-feeling design, keep heavy decorations off it, and pick a finish that is easy to wipe. Whatever the table, supervise small children around it and keep hot drinks towards the centre.
Questions about coffee tables
How far should a coffee table be from the sofa?
About 40–45 cm from the front of the seat: close enough to reach a cup, far enough to pass your legs.
What height should a coffee table be?
Level with the sofa seat or 5–10 cm lower. Our standard tables are 35–50 cm high.
Can I order a coffee table in another size?
Each design comes in a standard and a large size. For a size outside those, use Send your design and we will send you a quotation.
