A cocktail table is an accent table that comes in a range of shapes and sizes. While coffee tables tend to be slightly lower to the ground, in comparison a cocktail table is usually slightly higher up. You can usually find a cocktail table near the living room sofa. Does this Spark an idea?
Storage
Many cocktail tables come with a lower level or built-in shelves, drawers or other forms of storage. Select a cocktail table with any of these aspects to make entertaining a complete breeze. You can store things like cocktail napkins, coasters, glasses and other items right inside the table, using it in such a way that it becomes practically like a mini-bar. In fact, some cocktail tables look like trunks but have numerous storage compartments in their interior, allowing you to stash drink items like toothpicks, or even snack items like pretzels and nuts.
Height
If you're going to select a cocktail table that has a round surface, one centered table leg and four feet surrounding that table leg, don't select a standard-size table. This is a classic-style cocktail table and that standard size is rather high -- too high for you to place it next to a sofa, as the entire effect will make the room look off balance. Instead, select a table of that style or structure with a fraction of the height, so that it doesn't look odd next to the couch.
Style
Select a cocktail table that matches the style of your couch. For example, if you have a very sleek, modern couch, you should pair it with a comparable-looking cocktail table, such as one made out of chrome and which has a style that mimics the style of the couch. You can find cocktail tables made out of a range of materials and in a range of styles, so that you can locate one that complements your couch perfectly, regardless of its style.
