Travertine Coffee Table

How to Choose a Travertine Coffee Table

Sitting right in the middle of your seating area, the coffee table is the piece that ties the whole living room together. A travertine coffee table adds a calm but confident character to that centre point, with the warm tones and porous texture of natural stone. Because travertine is a natural material, every top is unique – differences in veining and tone are exactly what make your coffee table one of a kind.

Proportion, height and spacing

Start by looking at your sofa. As a general rule, a coffee table that is clearly shorter than the sofa in front of it looks balanced. A height close to, or slightly below, the seat height makes it comfortable to use. Leave enough space between sofa and table to move your knees freely and still reach for a cup. With a corner sofa, square or round shapes tend to work well; in front of a long three-seater, rectangular or oval shapes usually look more harmonious.

One table or a set?

Combining two coffee tables of different heights gives the living room a layered, modern look, while a small side table next to an armchair completes a reading corner. When choosing, we suggest considering these points together:

• how the shape works with your sofa set or corner sofa
• the space left for walkways in the room
• colour balance with your rug, flooring and upholstery

Care and delivery

Using coasters and wiping up acidic liquids straight away are the easiest ways to keep travertine looking beautiful, and sealing natural stone at regular intervals is generally recommended.
