Coffee and end table sets are often thought of as bookends for your furniture. They bring a look of completeness to your room. They dress your space, as earrings and a necklace do that little black dress for a cocktail party. The question is what style would you like to present? There is classic, modern, country, retro, and many other choices to decorate any room in your home.
Wood coffee and end table sets are a good choice for the classic or country look. This is the most popular pick for the majority of shoppers in the market. There are many ranges in color from white, light, to a dark cherry, even black. Most coffee and end tables incorporate already existing wood in the room so it is good to know what type you have to start with whether it is oak, teak, or birch. These are easy to clean with wood polish. The downside is that they can scratch or nick easily. If you are willing to do a little work yourself, you can even stain these pieces to perfectly match the furniture or other colors in the room.

Metal coffee and end table sets are an option for the more modern and contemporary style home. There are steel, brass, copper, and iron ones just to name a few. Some are glass top or tile top tables. The tile can be uneven like outdoor or patio tiles or a mosaic of smoother tiles like you would find on your kitchen or bathroom walls. These can be very heavy but seem to take up less room. The iron is more of a rough look while steel or others are very smooth. Metal tables give the area a less cluttered look in some opinions. The downside is that the shinier metals often need a little more maintenance to keep fingerprints from showing.
Upholstered coffee and end table sets are a good way to go for something special. These can function as a table, an ottoman or extra storage space. Most are built with a hidden storage compartment inside. They can easily match any décor and can be re-upholstered if you decide to make changes down the road to your color scheme. When it comes to cleaning, you can run a handheld vacuum on these to keep the neat look.
So weather you are propping your feet up, working a puzzle, displaying candles and a centerpiece, or you just need a place to put down your drink after a long day at work, coffee and end tables are the perfect choice. Having the complete look is very easy; since you can find and purchase coffee and end table sets at your local furniture store or online. But if you want a truly unique look, you may instead want to piece together a set of complementary, yet unique pieces from various resources including garage sales, or flea markets; that create a one of a kind look in your living room. The magic of your décor choice is that it is a reflection of you.
