If you've heard someone say that the color of a table doesn't matter then do coffee table lovers around the world a favor and report him to the table police. Okay so I might have lied, there is no table police but that still doesn't change the fact that the color of your coffee table does serve some practical purpose. And that's what we will try to figure out; the best coffee table color for you.
Aesthetics and Tables
Dark Wood Bookcases
First thing we need to consider would be how the coffee table matches its surroundings. If you have a motif for your place then by all means choose the color that would fit that theme. The best thing about brown is that it's an earthly color and can go with almost any other color. And if it isn't your main theme then you can just use it as an accent. If you prefer a futuristic classic look then a dark coffee table part of a white motif would do nicely. Feeling a little nostalgic? Then why not go for something more vintage. Light brown would work best for a Victorian or European look.
There's Always More Than One Way to Look at Things
Now we go to the important bit of choosing the color of your coffee table. Contrary to what people think, the color does play a very important function in its use. Think about it. Have you ever seen a coffee table in your friends' house and noticed scratches and marks? Sure you have. But think hard on whether or not you noticed it on dark colored tables. Chances are you'd have to look pretty closely for you to be able to distinguish the mark. And that's what is so lovely with dark coffee tables. Now I'm not saying you completely ignore light brown tables. What I'm trying to say is that if you know by experience, and you should, that your coffee table will be used repeatedly by people who aren't that keen with keeping things nice and tidy then go for dark tables.
Benefits of Dark Colors
When it has scratches all you need to do is find a marker that matches its color and start marking away. Not only is this an effective way to hide the scratches or mark, but it's also a very inexpensive way to do it.
Ever notice why black is so common. That's because it matches with almost any other color out there. That's how versatile it is. And that's why choosing dark colored tables is an excellent choice since you need not worry about it not matching your set at home.
Water stains are nasty little things that are hard to get rid of. Especially on wood. And it is above all unsightly on lighter colored wood since it turns darker than that of the surrounding color. But if you had a dark wood table then you need not worry since stains don't stand up so much as on the lighter ones.
