There are more and more ways to decorate and arrange your home, breaking the traditional layout.

The traditional living room mainly consists of a sofa, a coffee table, and a TV wall.

However, now the layout of the entire living room has more and more styles and more diverse functions.

After visiting the living room of a friend's house, I discovered that there is a new trend in living room decoration.

Don’t put a coffee table in the living room. Look at the current popular practices. They are practical and not cumbersome.

Why don’t you put a coffee table in the living room?

Putting a coffee table in the living room is already an inherent concept among many friends.

However, placing a coffee table in the living room has brought many problems as lifestyles and house types have changed.

The following three problems have occurred in many families and are relatively typical.

1. Crowding

Putting a coffee table in the living room will make the living room look crowded.

In fact, this is also closely related to the current changes in housing types.

As we all know, the living room area in the past was generally larger, reaching about 30 to 40 square meters.

However, the emergence of some compact apartment types has led to more rooms and smaller living rooms. As a result, some living rooms may only be 20 square meters or even more than ten square meters.

So, in this case, if we put a coffee table, a sofa, and a TV wall in our living room, it will make the living room full.

At this time, the living room not only feels depressing and uncomfortable to sit in, but also inconvenient to pass through.

Especially for those who have children at home, it will bring safety hazards. They may easily bump into the coffee table while running.

Therefore, the number of coffee tables placed in living rooms is decreasing due to the influence of the living room area.

2. Not easy to use

More people don’t put coffee tables in the living room because they find that most of them are not easy to use.

The coffee table in the living room is usually placed next to the sofa and its height is usually no higher than the knee.

Therefore, when we usually use the coffee table, we often have to sit on the sofa, bending over, which is very uncomfortable.

If the coffee table is far from the sofa, you may have to sit on the floor. If it is winter, the floor is cold, which is also not good.

In addition, there are not many things placed on the coffee table on weekdays, just some fruits, melon seeds, and mobile phone remote controls.

So, in the end you find that a large coffee table in the living room often becomes a decoration and can be said to have almost no use.

If you want to put more items in, you will find that it will be full very quickly and there will be no place to put them.

Therefore, being difficult to use is also a very important reason why more and more people do not put coffee tables in their living rooms.

3. Not keeping up with the lifestyle

Many people no longer have coffee tables in their living rooms because they cannot keep up with changes in lifestyle.

Because the lifestyle has changed a lot compared to the previous lifestyle.

The traditional lifestyle is to sit on the sofa and watch TV after dinner every day.

The corresponding thing for this lifestyle is to put a coffee table in front of the sofa.

However, this lifestyle has now been gradually broken, especially for young people, the change is greater.

Since many young people are busy and tired at work during the day, when they get home at night, they may just want to rest for a while.

In addition, the emergence of various electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets has also led many friends to abandon their traditional lifestyles.

In other words, people's current lifestyle has broken the traditional habit of watching TV on the sofa in the living room.

Instead, I just find a place to lie down and check my phone.

Therefore, changes in lifestyle have also led to the fact that coffee tables are no longer needed in living rooms.

What is the popular practice nowadays of not having a coffee table in the living room?

Since there is no longer a coffee table in the living room, how should we decorate it?

In fact, if you observe other people’s house plans, you will find that there are quite a lot of decoration options for the living room.

The following are four popular ways to avoid placing a coffee table in the living room, which are worth your reference.

1. Study living room

The living room is decorated as a study room, replacing the traditional layout.

We can build more bookcases on the walls of the living room, put some books in them, and create a bookish atmosphere.

Moreover, a desk can be built near the center of the living room.

In this way, we eliminated the coffee table and TV wall in the living room.

Most of the time, we can study in the living room, which creates a good learning atmosphere.

Especially for families with children going to school, it is very good to let the children be in a learning environment at all times.

Therefore, we use bookcases and desks to replace traditional coffee tables to create a better learning environment.

2. Leisure living room

If you don't put a coffee table in the living room, you can turn it into a leisure living room.

The leisure living room also breaks the layout of the traditional living room.

The leisure living room is to utilize the entire living room as a leisure and entertainment area in our home.

A common practice is to set up a tea bar in the living room and place some tea sets on it.

In a living room like this, when friends come over, we can drink tea and chat, which is very comfortable.

In addition, if you feel very tired on your normal rest days, you can drink tea and watch TV in the living room, which is also very comfortable.

Since the living room is designed for casual occasions, there is no need to put a coffee table there. A table will do.

Therefore, this kind of leisure living room also breaks the traditional layout, making the living room more spacious and more practical.

3. Children's Activity Room

For families with children, it is recommended that you turn the living room into a room for children's activities.

This is very important because children are naturally active and lively. This is why there are many children's playgrounds in major shopping malls.

And if our living room itself is a children's playground, then the children will be very happy to play in it every day.

This practice actually occurs in many families.

We laid some floor mats in the middle of the living room, and then put some children's toys on them, such as a small slide, building blocks, etc.

In this way, children can play on it at any time without us worrying about it, and it is very beneficial to promote the physical and intellectual development of children.

If the living room and balcony are connected, they can actually be turned into these activity areas, giving children more space for activities.

You’ll then find that the living room becomes more useful, your children are happier, and the coffee table becomes even less useful.

4. Studio Living Room

In fact, a living room can be transformed into a studio.

There are more and more freelancers nowadays. So, it would be great if you can realize your own studio.

However, if we rent a house outside to use as a studio, the investment is often very high. It is more cost-effective to use the living room at home.

It is also very simple to use the living room as a studio. You only need to use the layout of the living room to arrange a few large work tables.

For example, we can put a large desk in the middle of the living room, and then put some work supplies on it according to the nature of our work.

With this arrangement, we have realized our own studio, and we can go to and from get off work anytime and anywhere every day, which is very convenient.

So, now that I have my own studio, I can completely give up the coffee table in the living room.

Don’t put a coffee table in the living room anymore, because it is not very useful and often becomes a decoration.
