Should a Coffee Table Be Higher or Lower Than Sofa? Do you find yourself asking, should a coffee table be higher or lower than a sofa? If you've been into interior design for a while, you'd know there's a lot of debate as to whether your coffee table should be higher or lower than your sofa. This is because although it seems like an obvious question at first, there are multiple aspects to look at when making this decision in order to produce the best results. Tables come in thousands of different types, shapes and sizes. Some coffee tables are high, some are low, and some even go up to 400 cm. And as if this wasn't enough diversity, there's more: a table can serve its purpose for business, dining or just for keeping your remote control. If you have a big space it is probably true that you need to have a big table too. But the question is: should a coffee table be higher or lower than a sofa? Read more below. Coffee table height A coffee table's height is crucial. It shouldn't be any lower than 1-2 inches from your couch's seat. A common sofa fits well with coffee tables that are 16 to 18 inches in height. A table that is 20 to 21 inches tall is needed to match a higher sofa. If you have a lot of parties, the taller table will also be more practical because it will be faster for visitors to place down a glass or a plate. You may choose a low coffee table like the Billy Coffee Table if you don’t host a lot of parties.
