Black furnishings have become the newest trend in interior decor. These timeless elements can bring an elegant, dramatic look that fits perfectly into the currently popular modern-contemporary style interior.
There are wide ranges of black furnishings that you can use to introduce this bold color, from small accessories such as black wall decor or black shelves to large items such as a black sofa or black bed.
In this post, we will talk specifically about the black sofa or couches and learn how to elevate its looks using the right coffee table. No doubt, the gorgeous black couches can easily become the main focal point for any living space. Its strong and dominant looks will spread a striking vibe to attract everyone’s attention easily.
However, to achieve the maximum visual appearance, the black sofa or couches need to be accompanied by the right accessories around them. Without it, the black sofa alone can feel a bit soulless and uninspiring.
There are many different items that you can use to elevate and enhance the looks of any black couch, and some that can bring the most impact are the decorative pillow, area rug, or coffee table. And here are some of our favorite coffee tables that we often used for our projects that involved any black sofas or couches :
Best Coffee Table Colors for Black Couch
White
We love to use a white coffee table alongside a black couch not only because it’s an easy and risk-free choice, but it goes far beyond that. In fact, the white finish elements can produce a gorgeous contrast against the black sofa that helps enhance each other.
Thus, the black couch still stands out as the main centerpiece of the black living room, but the white table can also capture everyone’s attention instantly.
Furthermore, this combination will create a perfectly balanced look as the white coffee table will tone-done and lighten up the strong black couch, and make it less intimidating and looks more comfy and cozy.
Gray
If white seems a bit mainstream and boring for you, then you can go with gray. Any gray table, especially those that come with lighter finishes, can bring a very similar visual result to white, but in a bit more elegant looks.
Nowadays, you can find a lot of gray coffee tables with different finishing materials, from gray wooden tables to gray concrete coffee tables.
Thus, if you need to bring a bit of texture and grain to your seating spaces, you can try using those kinds of coffee tables rather than the typical plain-gray finishes.
Oak
When it comes to the coffee table, obviously wooden finishes are one of the most common options. Unfortunately, most wood seems not working well with black sofa.
But if you still want to bring the natural, earthy looks, don’t worry, there are still some options that based on our experience can still work nicely alongside the black couch, such as the beautiful oak finishes.
Thank’s to its simple grain, texture, and color, oak tends to look much more modern compared to any other wood, and that’s why the oak finishes table can go together nicely with the black couch.
Glass
To achieve the perfect ultra-modern looks for a living room with a black sofa, we love to add a lot of glass elements throughout the room. And you can also introduce this element to your space using a glass coffee table.
Even a simple table like the one that we used in the image above can bring a lot of impacts to modernize the looks of the entire living space.
Gold
Another great element that can really make a big impact inside any room filled with black furnishings is gold or brass. And actually, those gold elements can further enhance and makes the black items had some glam senses, resulting in dazzling rich and glamourous overall looks.
However, avoid excessive use of the gold elements as too much of them can break and distracted the entire room appearance.
Thus, if you are deciding to use a gold coffee table, avoid using any large gold furnishings inside the same room.
Dark Brown
In most circumstances, black and brown don’t go along together nicely, as both had a strong and bold influence that can be clashing one another.
However, brown items can still look quite well when used as an accent among black furnishings. As you can see in the image above, the dark brown coffee table fits perfectly with the black furnishings.
Furthermore, it can bring a natural earthy look to refresh the room’s appearance.
Black and White
A black coffee table with a black couch is surely not a reasonable choice as the table will hard to be noticed and its presence will be a bit useless.
But if you still want to have flawless black connections between the couch and the table in front of it, then a black and white table may be a more acceptable solution.
The black element of the table will keep the black flows between them, while the white element will help makes the table easily distinguishable from the couch behind it.
