Sofa Table Measurements You Should Know
Ideally, your sofa table should be about the same height as or lower than the back of your sofa—within an inch is perfect.
As for length, aim for at least two-thirds the length of your sofa to keep things looking balanced.
For the depth, make sure you have enough space behind the sofa so it doesn’t obstruct pathways.
In our case, we never walk behind this sofa, so we only needed enough depth to fit it within the gap in front of our windows.
Another pro decorating tip: Don’t feel the need to fill every empty shelf and surface with decor. Do you see that lower shelf underneath the sofa table in the photo below? I left it empty on purpose so it wouldn’t feel cluttered. (Also, who wants to dust more stuff? Lame.)
