The height of certain pieces of furniture is a crucial factor when it comes to room design, both for aesthetic and practical purposes. A common question people ask is whether a coffee table should be lower or higher than a sofa, in order to be both pleasing to the eye, as well as ergonomic.
Once you've settled on the best sofa for your space and have a better idea of the seat height, you'll need to then choose a coffee table that complements it. As a general rule of thumb, designers suggest selecting one that is the same height as the sofa.
