Essential living room furniture typically includes a sofa or sectional, coffee table, end tables or side tables, and a TV stand or media console. Additional pieces might include ottomans, and storage units.

Coffee tables come in various shapes (rectangular, square, round) and materials (wood, glass, metal). Choose one that complements your overall décor style and provides enough surface area for drinks, snacks, and decorative items. Consider the height relative to your seating for convenience.
