The Varieties of Coffee Tables

A coffee table, which is also known by the name of cocktail table, is basically a specific style of low long table, normally leveled in height with rest of the sitting arrangements. It is normally kept in front of the sofa or lounge couches and is generally used to support the utensils containing beverages; so defines the name. Books and magazines, mainly coffee table books and other small items that might be used over a cup of coffee like coasters and such are also kept on the coffee table.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Coffee tables are considered to be an important piece of furniture that is used in the sitting room or the living room. While the traditional coffee tables tend to be short and rectangular in dimensions, newer designs and styles are emerging, along with enhanced useful functional features that can be used in the home decorating styles nowadays. They are actually available in various styles and prices that vary according to the choice of the user.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

The first coffee tables, designed and called by this name, evolved in Europe, most probably in Britain, during the Victorian era. Before the 18th century, the tables that were being used in addition with the settle are the occasional tables, end tables, tea tables and centre tables. By the year 1780, the high-back settles were replaced by low height sofas, and thus came the need for a lower table. And this led to the development of the sofa tables, which were placed near the sofa to be used to put down the cup or the books.

It is also said that E.W.Godwin designed a table in 1868 and it was made in large number by William Watt, and it was the initial coffee table, though very low in height. Also, this idea was first introduced by the Ottoman Empire, that this furniture will be styled as low tables, based on the fact that garden tea tables were also of the same pattern. Also it should be noted that Anglo-Japanese style was quite popular in Britain during the late 19th century, and these might also have played a factor. During the late 19th century, it started becoming popular due to revivalism. So, it is quite easy to find Georgian or Louis XVI styled coffee tables but not anything before them.

This living room furniture comes in different styles, sizes and price ranges. Most manufacturers offer coffee tables for the two ends of the sofas or such. Most coffee tables are designed in such a manner that they go with all kind of home decorating styles, but some can be categorized into modern or traditional groups. They can be made from different kinds of material, ranging from wood to steel or glass or hard plastic as well.

While the purpose of the coffee table is to mainly have an area to place things while you are relaxing on the sofa, it is also decorated with shelves or drawers for storage purposes. Some manufacturers offer tables that come with the height-adjustment feature which allow it to be used for other purposes as well. So select a decent coffee table and make it an integral part of your living room furniture.

Wooden Coffee Tables - Sizzling Accents For A Spanish Home Theme

If your house has a Spanish style finish on the outside, what have you done to make part of the inside match? This is often a space where many people get stuck. They are in love with the outside of their house, but don't really know how to take that hacienda look and bring it inside.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

The truth is, it is easier than you think. First, think about what Spanish living is about. For the most part, stone is used in the building aspects of haciendas. This makes sense as they are often buildings in the heat of full sun, all day, and the stone will retain some of the coolness it collected in the night air. In a time when haciendas didn't have air conditioning, this was a very important trait to have in a home.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

While the building may have been made of stone, the furnishings inside were often made of wood, crafted by hand. In this case, let's look at a living room. In addition to wooden chairs (with padded seats), there would likely be wooden coffee tables.

While you may not think of wooden coffee tables as being a part of a hacienda theme, you need to keep in mind the people who are going to be using this home. They may not necessarily be coffee drinkers, but they will be social. Spanish families are known for their social nature, with family and friends. Coffee tables are a part of the equation as they are a place to set a drink while everyone sits around them and talks about their day and their lives.

These wooden coffee tables don't have to be anything fancy. As a matter of fact, they rarely are. They are more often than not simple coffee tables that are there to serve a purpose, to hold food and drinks while those around them have a great time enjoying each others company.

Often hacienda wooden coffee tables are very thick and sturdy tables. If you have ever been around during a Spanish family gathering for a fun story, with a lot of hand talking, you can understand why.

An important thing to keep in mind is that you want to make sure the table goes well with the room and is conducive to a conversational atmosphere. Not many people realize that choosing the wrong wooden coffee tables can make people feel less inclined to talk or be comfortable.

The most common mistake is to select wooden coffee tables that are too dark for the room. If it is not properly lit, dark woods can cast a darkness over the entire room. This can make people feel uncomfortable, although they may not know why.

Additionally, if you have a very light wood table, and too much lighting, it may be a little bright for the eyes and be a constant bother, causing your guests to squint.

When you begin shopping for the right coffee tables for your hacienda, take the lighting, space, and the feel you want to give off into account before making your choice.

3 Ideas For Storing Kid's Toys and Keeping Clutter Out of Sight

Forget eyesores like plastic bins or toy chests that just don't fit in with your stylish decor to store toys in public spaces such as living rooms. There are far more fashionable ways to hide toys and the inevitable kid clutter that ends up all over the floor and in every corner when you've got kids.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Here are three alternatives to keeping the clutter at bay in an attractive manner:

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Table Ottoman: These cool ottomans reveal a secret that no one but you and your child has to know about. Flip open the top and the inside sports plenty of room to store your kid's stuff. Shut the lid and the ottoman is an elegant cocktail table that serves a dual purpose. Leather is a great choice as it wipes clean in a breeze. Look for one with child-proof hinges that won't shut down on tiny fingers.

Window Seat Box: You can buy one, or if you're handy you can easily make one of these attractive boxes that fit right below a window. When closed, a window seat provides a fantastic spot to read a good book with a great view. And once you lift the top, this box doubles as a spot to hide the mess that no one will know about.

Baskets: If your budget is super tight and you're not the DIY type, a large basket can do the trick to pack toys out of view. You can slip smaller baskets onto a bookcase shelf or even in a cabinet, while a bigger basket with a cover can be tucked next to a chair to double as an end table.

Get creative with any extra room in the kitchen or even a built-in, as these can be the ideal spot to hide some of the clutter, too. If you must stick to plastic containers, opt for something you can hide under an end table or behind a big club chair. Shallow containers that can slide under the couch to hold books or smaller toys like blocks are easy to put out of sight when guests arrive.

Make sure to teach kids to quickly pick up toys at the end of the day and toss them into these boxes. Avoid just piling toys in a corner if at all possible, as the point is to keep them out of view entirely so your home doesn't look like a daycare center when family and friends drop by.

Leather Arm Chairs in All Their Glory

There are many different styles and options available today if are looking for a leather chair. One category that encompasses a huge percentage of them is the leather armchair. They are also the most popular, by far.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

One of the main reasons for their popularity is their diversity of styles. From leather club chairs to leather recliners, you will find no other category of furniture which offers you so many different options. Take leather lounge chairs for instance: leather lounge chairs come in a myriad of different colors, both natural and stained, and a whole host of different options. You can get models that recline, with or without feet support, and even models that offer full body massage units.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Sometimes, having too many options can, however, cause confusion. It can sometimes be difficult to figure out exactly what you want when there are so many different options from which to choose. Let's take a look at some of the more popular options and where they are best suited.

If you are looking for the perfect chair to accent your living room furniture, a leather recliner is probably your best bet. Keep in mind however, that if you need the back of the chair to rest against a wall, a non-reclining lounge chair would be better suited. It might also help you to decide whether you would rather have a standalone ottoman, or a built-in foot rest. Some recliners have foot rests that automatically deploy when reclining. This would not be ideal with a standalone ottoman.

If you have the sitting room as part of the foyer of your home, and are looking for chairs to adorn it, a tub chair would fit the bill perfectly. Leather tub chairs are small and light, yet elegant. They are a superb way to add a bit of retro sophistication to your sitting room or foyer.

Leather club chairs, on the other hand, are an excellent smoking chair, reading chair, and cocktail chair. They are a bit bigger and heavier than a tub chair, but not nearly as bulky as a recliner. These chairs are great as accent pieces in your den, library, etc. They also have a bit of old-school about them, but are a bit more cozy in their styling.

Honestly, there are so many different styles and variations of leather arm chairs that I could not begin to cover them all in one article. For the leather chair purists among us, however, these are the three main categories. Hopefully this information will help you in the quest to find the perfect chair for your needs.

Home Staging For Condos - Six Tips On How To Avoid Having "An Elephant In The Room"

When staging condominiums there are fundamental principles which MUST be applied. Too often sellers believe the art of home staging and condo staging is exactly the same thing. This way of thinking will cause them to make their FIRST mistake . . . which could result in their condo sitting along side countless others . . . long after the buyers have gone home!

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

The following is a list of additional mistakes to avoid when staging your condo for sale:

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Think Square Footage - Many condominiums have limited space. When planning your furniture layout, instead of thinking square footage . . . think square inch, and make each one count!

Size Really Does Matter - When shopping for furniture focus on scale and proportion, NOT bigger is better! Oversized furniture may look great on the showroom floor, but when you get it home it will look much different. You will swear that the "elephant in the room" is definitely not what you ordered!

Flex Areas - Condo living calls for carefully planned, creatively designed, multifunctional spaces known as flex areas. Because of the growing demand to meet the diverse needs of today's condo buyer, more and more manufacturers are offering proportionately scaled, multipurpose furniture to their lines. They include upholstered slipper chairs that fold out into guest beds, ottomans that serve as extra seating and storage, high-low tables that instantly transform from cocktail tables into dining tables for entertaining . . . just to name a few. And for the savvy targetted condo buyer, staging a multi media/home office area is always advisable.

Defining Spaces - Whether you prefer the clean, contemporary lines of ultra urban or the graceful warm feel of timeless traditional - remember to use COLOR to define your spaces and create memorable WOW effects. Too often sellers believe that by keeping the walls neutral, it will make the limited space of a condo look larger. Actually the opposite is true. By bumping out a few accent walls with well chosen COLORS you not only will add excitement to the room, but visually add depth, giving the illusion that the space is larger than it is.

Presentation Is Everything - Choose fewer, but larger, more dynamic artwork and accessories. This is one of the most frequently made mistakes by sellers who believe you should do quite the opposite. Just remember . . . scale down your furniture and scale up your artwork and accessories to successfully stage a condo with limited space. Your presentation and end result will certainly be more dramatic . . . and memorable!

A living room essential, coffee tables come in all shapes, sizes and materials. Whether you want a rich leather upholstered ottoman table or a sparkling ellipse of glass the best place to start your search is the Internet.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Choose from solid wood squares with inlaid glass, shabby chic white ones with storage drawers and modern metal ones with industrial edge. No matter your taste you'll find what you are looking for.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Of course to find the right one you have to access your space. What size table is the perfect fit? Is your décor more vintage glam or simply modern? Once you have answered these questions you can begin your search.

Make it classic with a traditional wooden coffee table in a curvaceous shape. A rich cherry finish in a broad oval or heavily detailed rectangle is the epitome of old fashioned style.
Make it tempting with a soft leather ottoman table that begs to be touched and offers hidden storage within. It has never been easier to rev up your room's romantic appeal.
Draw attention and keep it with sparkling metals in varying sheens. Mix polished nickel nailhead trim on a sofa with an antiqued gold metal coffee table and bronze and silver accessories. The results are amazing.

Whether you want to show off your sultry side or your big old fashioned heart it is easy to do with coffee tables. No matter what style you choose a coffee table is one piece you cannot live without in your home. You can rest a drink or your legs on one. You can eat off of one. You can even decorate one. A simple formula for creating an eye catching display is: books + plant material + decorative object = stylish and attractive tablescape. After all cocktail tables or coffee tables are a focal point so you have to carefully consider what you put on them. You can try things of the same color in different sizes or textures or more. The most important thing is to not choose something that is too small; you need at least one bold item to focus on while leaving space for actual use of the table for resting a drink etc.

Unleash your imagination and create the living room you have been dreaming of. Whether that means glass or leather or metal or wood you'll easily be able to make your living room complete. So shake things up by topping a wood table with back-painted coffee table glass in a soft blue or bright raspberry, or keep things smart and handsome with a tray top table and make your living room whole and completely you to boot. Inspiration can be found everywhere you look. Beautiful affordable coffee tables are the key to a gorgeous living room. And with their great versatility you'll always get more than you bargained for.

What to Look For When Buying a Sofa Table

Shopping for furniture can be tiring and frustrating. Typical furniture showrooms are large, and give a false idea of the size of the furniture you're looking at. Be careful to understand the terminology and measure your room and existing furniture carefully before you go shopping. If possible make a plan of your room and how you want to lay it out, then buy furniture to fit the plan, don't change the plan to fit the furniture. There are several different types of table, and some have more than one name.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

A sofa table is tall and thin, and typically used behind a sofa, hence the name. On average, they are 30-32 inches high, 14-18 inches deep and 48-55 inches long. This table type is most useful in a large room where the seating area is divided from the rest, and can be used in several configurations. The classic English country house interior centers around a seating area, usually around a fireplace; two sofas are placed facing each other and at right angles to the fire; behind each sofa is a sofa table. A coffee table, or large ottoman, sits between the sofas.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

The sofa table carries most of the accessories which define this style, a pair of elegant lamps, a vase filled with flowers and one or two ornaments.

The height of the table is crucial as it should not be higher than the back of the sofa, so check this carefully before you buy. The depth of the table is also important. Many are made in the style of console tables and will be no more than 18 inches wide. Rounded (sometimes known as demi-lune) sofa tables are charming in the right place, but the center width can prove to be a problem. If possible, plan to have a gap of at least 30 inches between your sofa table and the nearest piece of furniture. On no account should the table be wider or higher than the sofa.

In modern homes, this sort of table is especially useful in open plan spaces; they add style and can sometimes perform a double function. Sofa tables with shelves can display books and ornaments, while those with drawers can be a useful place to store the usual mass of remote controls.

If your room is in a feminine style, a curved or ornate table could well be ideal. If your style is more masculine, simple shapes are more appropriate.

Sofa tables are extremely versatile, so if your room doesn't suit the paired, facing sofas arrangement, why not try an 'L' shape? In this arrangement one sofa is typically placed against a wall, while a another sits at right angles to the first with a sofa table behind it. The corner of the 'L' can be occupied by an end table.

Sofa tables are elegant pieces of furniture designed to occupy a small space and yet carry the ornament for a room. Sofa and table should be in harmony; together they bring a sense of refinement to any interior.

Decorating for Renters - Part 4: What to Buy for Your Apartment

There are several buying categories for renters. These are things which are flexible, decorative, affordable and portable.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Furniture purchases need to be thought out carefully. Consider size and style. A piece that is too large or extreme in style might not fit in your next apartment or home. If you stick to the medium in sizes and finish you have the flexibility of using each item in different rooms and different ways.

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Storage is always a problem and furniture choices can overcome defects in apartment and house design. Lamp, cocktail and sofa tables can be used for other purposes than just to put at the end of your sofa. Tables with drawer or shelf space are great. Night chests can be used as livingroom tables; they usually have more available storage. File cabinets that are carved and decorated can be used for storage. Sofa tables can double as serving pieces for the dining area. A drop leaf or gate leg table used as a sofa table gives you dining table. Before buying a case piece, table or chest, try to think of how many ways you can use it. If you can't think of at least two ways to use a piece of furniture, consider carefully before you buy it

One word of advice: if you fall in love with a piece of furniture just because it is beautiful, buy it. Everything in your home doesn't have to be practical and a truly beautiful piece of furniture is something you will enjoy for years. Use it as a focal point, light it and decorate it and don't worry if it doesn't have half a dozen uses. These pieces become your treasures and you will move them form place to place and design rooms around them.

Seating can be flexible as well. Choose upholstered dining chairs which mix with your livingroom furniture. Extra chairs can be used in entries and bedrooms. This is where your carefully chosen color scheme will help you. The chair can be used for dining or extra livingroom seating and the color and style will blend.

There are the obvious choices, as well. Sleep sofas are invaluable and come in many sizes and styles. Many are available with air mattresses are really are comfortable. Large storage ottomans can be used as cocktail tables and places to store the bedding for the sleepers as well as extra seating when entertaining. Smaller ottomans can store under sofa tables for a decorative and useful addition.

Armoires, are available in an enormous number of sizes styles and configurations. They can be used for combination storage-tv on top, table linens in the drawers, or clothing if the armoire is in the bedroom.

Moving beyond furniture, screens either decorative or purchased from the home store, will hide work spaces and storage. Architectural elements such as columns or bricks can be used for display, as shelving and to hide 'uglies.' Plants, real or really good artificial plants, add interest and can be used to hide an awkward corner. If these are lit with some of the new halogen spots they make a really beautiful accent corner and brighten a room.

Choose lamps carefully. Stick to simple, classic shapes and be creative with shades. They come in beautiful colors and styles. Don't under light.

Visit the nearest large craft store. You can find small accent pieces of furniture and shelving there as well as picture frames and other decorative elements which would be much more costly in a design or home store.

Think outside the normal boundaries and discover new uses for all kinds of products such as scarves, throws, pillows. You can have a convenient and beautiful home at a reasonable price and if you move on, pack everything up and reuse it in a new way in your new home.

All Ottomans Need Ottoman Trays

No matter a home's decor, cocktail ottomans have become a popular alternative to the coffee table. The reason for this surge in ottoman love is the fact that they're just so very versatile and so very multifunctional. What more can an urban dwelling professional or a suburban soccer mom ask for from a piece of furniture than for it to be a foot rest, extra seat when needed, a place to store essential items and when topped with an ottoman tray, become a sturdy table as well?

Storage Cocktail Ottoman

Cocktail ottoman trays are just as versatile as their ottoman cohorts and are available in every style décor motif from the most formal of old Victorian to the crispest of clean contemporary to the linear and graphic ultra modern. Ottoman trays come in every color, pattern and print and can even be custom made to include just about any graphic you can imagine from a picture of the kids at the beach to a favorite oversized flower petal. And of course, as we all know size matters, so when it comes to these fabulously fuctional home accessories, ottoman trays come in many different sizes and just as many shapes!

The great thing about these units is that when they're not being used on the ottoman, they're still ever-ready to serve as a place to hold appetizers during cocktail parties. Some trays are created with downward sloping edges that hug the ottoman to keep it firmly in place and of course, some have handles and some don't. Basically, if you can imagine it, you can find it.

These trays are made of various materials such as leather, glass, acrylic, wood and chrome to name a few and are available with prices to fit every budget. To find the best selection and to get the best deal, start your shopping online and be sure to check for free shipping and other discount deals. Every homeowner with a cocktail ottoman needs an tray to help their ottoman be the best it can be!
