A glass coffee table or a glass center table should be of the right size in your living room. It should also be practical and fit in seamlessly with all your other furniture pieces. Before you start your research and go shopping, measure your living room. Note down your table dimensions, especially the height and length. With a standard height of 16 – 18 inches, you and your guests can easily grab any item placed on the table. The same rule applies to the length, which should be two-thirds of the main sofa length if you have one. This way, you can avoid overcrowding your living room space.
Now that you have got the measurements right, choose the right shape to add zing to your living space. Who says the regular conventional rectangular or square table is the only choice? Why always opt for clean straight lines? Go in for a different shape; add curves, be it an oval or circular table. If you are more daring and have a home filled with eclectic furniture pieces, then try out glass coffee or center tables in different geometric shapes such as triangles or hexagonal. Coffee or center tables that are in abstract shapes can sometimes very easily fit in, just like an artwork. Ultimately, choose a table that complements your interior theme and design.
The glass coffee or center table says a lot about your personality. Yes, add style and save space as well, with a set of nesting tables.

Another point to consider while placing the glass table is to ensure that you leave adequate foot space for your guests to make them feel relaxed.
