A Bernhardt coffee table should match how you use your living room. Start by considering how much surface space you need. If you often place books, trays, or drinks on the table, select a design with a wider top. In smaller rooms, a lighter frame or open base helps keep the space from feeling cramped.

Finding the Right Shape for Your Layout  

Rooms with flowing or curved seating arrangements usually work better with a Bernhardt round coffee table. Round designs make it easier to move around the seating area and help soften straight furniture lines.

If your living room has a more structured setup with sofas facing each other, a Bernhardt square coffee table fits well in the center. It creates a clear anchor point and provides a flat surface for daily use.

In wide, open rooms where you want a table that blends easily with various seating angles, a Bernhardt round cocktail table keeps the layout flexible and comfortable.  

What to Look For Before Deciding  

Check the spacing between your sofa and chairs to make sure the table doesn’t feel too close or too far away. Look at how the table height compares to your seating tables close to seat height are easier to use. Choose materials that fit your lifestyle. Glass and metal feel modern and are easy to clean. Wood adds warmth and works well in more relaxed rooms.
