In the past, almost every household had a TV cabinet in the living room, a large sofa with a chaise longue, and a large rectangular coffee table. Almost everyone had a three-piece set.

However, now more and more people, especially young people, choose not to install a coffee table in the living room. Instead, they put a TV cabinet on the whole wall and arrange a simple straight sofa. The whole layout is to make as much space as possible in the living room.

There is actually a lot of controversy about whether to install a coffee table in the living room. Some people would rather not have a dining table than a coffee table, after all, they are used to eating and watching TV on the coffee table. Some people think that the coffee table is really a nuisance, has no strong functionality and can be replaced, so there is no need to install it.

More and more young people are choosing to abandon the traditional furniture of coffee table. This phenomenon is not accidental, and it is mainly attributed to the following four reasons:

1. Take up space

In today's cities where housing prices are rising and housing areas are generally small, for young people, besides buying a house, how to reasonably use every inch of space is the most important thing. As one of the traditional living room furniture, the coffee table has its functions, but its huge size has become the reason why many young people avoid it.

If you think about it carefully, it is true. The rectangular coffee table in the past was 1.4 meters long and took up a large part of the space when placed in the living room. At most, you could put a plate of fruit, some snacks, a remote control, and napkins on it. It was really a waste. The whole space seemed small and crowded, unable to accommodate more furniture and activity space.

If the coffee table can be replaced with a small side table or a round table, the utilization rate of the space can be greatly improved, which not only meets the storage function but also maintains the spaciousness of the living room.

2. Increase the burden of housework

As a "small table" in the home, the coffee table can easily become a "disaster area" for the accumulation of miscellaneous items. Think back to whether we are always used to putting all kinds of miscellaneous items on the coffee table? Remote controls, cups, magazines, mobile phones, etc., slowly, the coffee table will become a disordered storage corner. It is not unreasonable that the larger the coffee table, the messier the living room. Not only are there many things piled up, but the large coffee table is also difficult to clean and move, which invisibly increases the cleaning burden at home.

My family originally used this kind of big coffee table, which was intended to be used to place some snacks and fruits. However, as time went by, the coffee table gradually became a gathering place for sundries. It was not only filled with cups, pots, and cans, but also sometimes with some small items that were forgotten to be put away. Every time a guest came to visit, I had to sort out the sundries on the coffee table, which added a lot of unnecessary trouble.

3. Limited space for activities

The living room of young people is often a multifunctional space, not limited to just watching TV in the living room. Sometimes it can also take into account multiple functions such as office, fitness, and baby walking, so the activity space of the living room must be spacious enough so that it can be more flexible.

Many families insist on placing a large coffee table in the living room without considering their actual needs, thinking that a home without a coffee table is empty and lacks the feeling of home. But in fact, if you replace the coffee table with a side table or a small cart, the freed space can create a parent-child play area for your children, or prepare a fitness area for yourself who likes yoga to relax, this decoration method is more suitable.

4. There are safety hazards

Many coffee tables on the market actually have certain safety hazards. Glass-top coffee tables have a certain rate of self-explosion due to their tempered glass, so you need to be very careful to avoid them breaking. Coffee tables with protruding edges and corners can also cause bumps and collisions. For example, if you have elderly people and children at home, you need to be extra careful every time you pass by a coffee table. Many times, if you are not careful, your calves will be bruised immediately. Deformable coffee tables may also pinch your hands.

In summary, there are many reasons why many people give up installing coffee tables in their living rooms. Those who choose to give up pay more attention to the flexibility and personalization of the living room space, and tend to choose furniture that suits their living habits and aesthetic needs. In the decoration of the living room, placing a coffee table is not the only option. As long as a reasonable layout is made according to actual needs and a home space that suits you is customized, your home can be more comfortable and beautiful.
