How to Buy a Marble Coffee Table

How to Buy a Marble Coffee Table

Coffee tables add function and style to your home. Used to hold everything from snacks to coffee to books, a good coffee table is study enough for your lifestyle yet aesthetically pleasing. Marble means quality, but these tables are delicate. Does this Spark an idea?

Size

    Marble tables come in a range of shapes, sizes and colors. While you should choose a color that matches your home, be aware that light hues like white or beige show stains or discoloration more easily than dark marble. Select a shape that fits in your space, and measure if you need to. To break up the angularity of a home, consider round tables; if you have a long space, rectangular might be better.

Considerations

    Marble tables require special care to prevent staining, and they're quite hard. If you have kids or pets, they're not the best choice. Since they scratch and stain, you need to commit to caring for the table. This means using special cleaners that won't stain the surface, and being careful whenever using the table. These aren't low-maintenance tables.

Technique

    Once you've chosen a shape and color scheme, consider the style of the table, such as art nouveau, modern or antique, and select a style that blends with your decor. Go table shopping at local furniture stores or look online until you find a table you love.
