A square coffee table can look very stylish, especially if its design and the material it is made from match the aesthetics of your room.

However, it is not always convenient to use it, since it is difficult to find a suitable place for furniture of this shape, reports ADVICE.NEWS .

Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider buying a different shaped coffee table.

Space limitations

In small living rooms or rooms where space is limited, a square table can make the room feel cramped and difficult to move around.

It will be difficult to move around the room from the table, and it will also create the impression of disorder or cramped space.

Furniture arrangement

The symmetrical shape of square coffee tables may clash with the existing layout, especially if the room is dominated by rectangular or L-shaped furniture.

In such cases, a rectangular or oval shaped coffee table can better complement the furniture arrangement and create a more harmonious visual balance.

Sharp corners

Square coffee tables often have sharp corners, which can pose a safety hazard, especially for families with small children or pets.

Round or oval coffee tables with smoother edges are generally considered safer options, especially in family settings.

Availability

If you have a lot of seating or frequently entertain guests, a square table will force people to stretch to reach items placed there.
