Sofa to Coffee Table: The Right Spacing You Didn't Know You Needed

1. What's the correct distance between a long sofa and the coffee table in front of it?

30 cm

Placing a rectangular coffee table (130 x 70 x 45 cm high) in front of a long sofa (240 x 90 x 75 cm high) is very comfortable. The ideal distance between the two should allow one person to pass through while still being easily accessible, meaning you can easily reach a cup or magazine without having to stand up.

2. What is the minimum size of a large cabinet that can accommodate a TV?

200 x 50 x 180 cm high

This type of furniture is generally made up of squares of varying sizes. The upper section is more suitable for storing books, and the cabinet should be at least 30 cm thick. The lower section, where the TV is placed, should be at least 50 cm thick. The overall height and width of the cabinet should also be compatible with the wall area.

3. If a sofa can accommodate three or four people, what size coffee table should I choose?

140*70*45cm (H)

If the sofa is large or two long sofas are placed together, a low coffee table is a good choice. Ideally, it should be level with the sofa cushions.

4. How much space do two sofas facing each other and the coffee table in between take up in total?

Two double sofas (160*90*80cm (H)) and a coffee table (100*60*45cm (H)) should be 30cm apart.

5. What distance should be left between an armchair and the TV?

3 meters

This refers to the minimum distance between the TV and the armchair or long sofa. Additionally, the height of the cabinet where the TV is placed should be between 40cm and 120cm to ensure proper seating posture.
