Living room question

Hello. If your living room is also where you watch t.v., hang out, do you have a coffee table in it? Would you say its a must? We don't have a very large living room and I feel like it takes up so much space, but I like having the coffee table for snacks, drinks, etc. for my guests.

I do not have a coffee table for that exact reason. The room is too small and the way the front door is positioned it would be in the way. For drinks and stuff, I have an end table on each side of the couch and we use those. I do not feel its necessary to have a coffee table.

Our upstairs living room is small... I wantd a table but like you don't have the space. Instead we got an ottoman from Bed Bath and Beyond. The top flips over into a tray top for drinks and stuff. When you are not using the tray part you can use it as a foot rest or extra seat. The bigger one in this pic is the one we have.

Thanks girls! Good idea!

Re: Living room question

We used to have a coffee table, but got rid of it because our LR is so small and we needed the room for now. I have 2 end tables on either side of the couch that I can use for putting the paper on or a drink if I have one.
