Finding a coffee table that works in a small space can be difficult. Typical designs are usually too large to work in tight quarters or too small to be functional. No matter what style you choose, a coffee table takes up valuable floor space that could be used for additional seating or storage. I really like the square coffee tables I’d seen, but they all tend to be too large (generally, 36″ to 42″ square) for a small space. To address these problems, I have reduced the size of my table down to about 32″ x 32″. It now takes up considerably less room than its full-size counterparts, yet still looks and works great.
