How far from a sofa should you place a coffee table?
A lot depends on your living room layout, the people using it and how it's used. If you have a large living room with lots of seating, you'll probably want to position the coffee table closer to the center of the area so everyone in the room has easy acess. Same goes for if your using it mainly as a place door some decorations/magazines to sit on, especially if you have end tables right next to the couch to put drinks/the remote/other things you need easy access too. If you have a smaller space, want to put your feet up or actually need the coffee table for keeping frequently used things within reach, then you should put it close to the couch. About 8-24 is usually a good distance to keep everything nearby but it should be far enough away people aren't bumping their legs on it or it's creating too tight of a squeeze when they're trying to sit down.
Far enough away from the sofa that people sitting in the sofa do not contact the coffee table with their knees.
Hmm i say i will put it right in fromt of the couch not to in front but when u need to put a cup of tea or coffee u can easily put it. Italso depends on the width and lenght of ure room it needs to look suitable for the area
