Mahogany coffee table could provide 1930s Hollywood elegance

Published on: June 17, 2010 | Flori Arr

Purchasing a mahogany coffee table may be an ideal way for homeowners to bring some 1930s Hollywood glamour to their living room.

According to terrysfabrics.co.uk writer Helen Green, furniture that has a "gentle feminine curve" is important when looking to recreate the Hollywood Regency style, which focused on elegant pieces with oriental or art deco inspiration.

Ms Green encouraged those redesigning their living room in this style to resist the urge to place the seating to accommodate the television, noting that a table can be used as a focal piece in the living area.

She also noted the importance of using accessories to add the finishing touches to a mahogany coffee table, suggesting antique lamps made from Chinese porcelain are a popular choice.

Ms Green recently advised homeowners who want to give their property a nostalgic look to invest in solid wood furniture, as this will stand "the test of time" and prove functional in years to come.
