Having a conservatory injects space, light and life into your home. It has the opportunity to be transformed into a brand new area, and you can do this by kitting it out with the correct furniture. Before buying a rattan coffee table, we recommend starting with your basics first, which are conservatory floor rugs, conservatory blinds or blackout curtains for the conservatory if that’s what you prefer. After you’ve chosen the permanent furnishings, you can start to think about items like your dining furniture for the conservatory, including a conservatory chairs and comfy conservatory cushions if you want the area to be cosy. Choosing a coffee table will be largely based on the furniture that you’ve already got, but luckily there are a number of options and sizes, so whether you’re looking for a square rattan coffee table or a round rattan coffee table – there’s something for everybody.
When choosing a coffee table for your conservatory, we recommend looking into furniture that has been made from rattan. Rattan is a great, light but heavy-duty material that looks great both outside and inside. It’s rustic appearance and maintenance nature makes it the perfect addition to any home. A rattan coffee table can add a touch rustic glamour to any conservatory, and it looks especially great if you have kept the synergy with other rattan furniture pieces in your home or garden. Like we said above, there are some things you might want to look out for when looking for your perfect rattan coffee table. For example, the colour will depend on the colour-scheme of your conservatory. The size of your rattan coffee table will also depend on the size of the room, whether you have other furniture taking up space and the overall vibe you’re trying to give off. The amount of storage space you’ll need will depend on the amount of storage you’ll want from your coffee table.

Summary
Finding the right coffee table can be more difficult than you think, particularly if you are someone who is looking for a specific design to complement other furniture you already own. You also may be thinking about its versatility, as if you have a limited budget you’ll want something that you can use potentially inside your home too (like a conservatory for example). We’ve listed a few things for you to consider when buying a coffee table, which could help you with your decision.
Colour
Colour is incredibly important, as you want to find a coffee table that complements the other furniture you already own without looking out of place. What we recommend doing is making note of a colour palette, for example in your garden and your conservatory. This will give you a better idea of the colour themes that are present and should help you with picking the right colour for your coffee table.
Size
If you’re entertaining guests on a regular basis, or you want something that is going to fit well in your garden or conservatory, have a think about what size you want your coffee table to be – and be realistic about it. If you only have a small garden, regardless of how many guests you’re entertaining you won’t want your furniture to take up most of the space. To make the best size choice make sure to measure your other furniture as well as your conservatory if you’re looking to use the coffee table indoors and outdoors.
Storage
There are a number of coffee tables that have storage options available, so if that’s important to you then we suggest you have that as a ‘non negotiable’ when choosing a coffee table. If you have a smaller space we recommend looking at storage as this will save you vital space in the long run. Why not consider adding a conservatory rug or conservatory curtains.
Maintenance
Decide how long you want to spend cleaning your furniture – and if it isn’t a long time (we don’t blame you) opt for materials and a design that takes a quick wipe to clean.
FAQ
