The convenience of a side table by your couch

A sofa table is not only beautiful but also functional. When you're sitting on the sofa in the evening, you have your drink or snack within reach. And your favorite book? Just put it on the couch table when you're doing something else for a moment.

What's convenient.. and what's not?

Convenient

A sofa arm table that has just the right height to reach over the sofa arm. This way, you have everything within reach without having to stand up.

Not Convenient

A table over the sofa that is too high or too low. This is undesirable both in terms of looks and functionality.

How to Determine Which Sofa Table Best Fits?

The following things are important in your search.

1. Determine the function of the couch table

Ask yourself what the main purpose of the sofa table is. Is it mainly decorative or are you looking for something functional for daily use? A table for over the sofa can be ideal for those who like to eat, drink, read, or work from the sofa.

Multifunctional

What's so handy about a sofa table: it's multifunctional! Not using it at the sofa anymore? Then you can easily move it to your bedroom as a nightstand or use it as decoration or a plant table. Handy, but also sustainable! Here you can find more ways to use and style a side table.

2. Make sure you choose the right height and diameter

The height of the table is crucial for comfort. A handy rule: make sure the side table is not higher than the armrest of your couch. In terms of width, it's important that the table doesn't take up too much space, but still offers enough surface for your necessities.

Tip: side table Sage is available in 3 different heights. This way, you can easily match it with the height of your sofa. You can then slide it right over!

3. Choose the design that makes you happy

From sleek and modern to country and cozy... the style of your table should match the rest of your interior. Also consider different materials. Are you going for a side table made of steel, wood, plastic, glass?

Square side table Sage with radiator cover at sofa

I was looking for a side table with the perfect size for my sofa. It had to be slightly lower than the armrest, but just a bit higher than the seat. I chose the metal side table Sage from Sentimo with a square top. This is a nice counterbalance to the round shapes in the couch.
