How big should a console table be behind a couch?

The size of the console table behind a couch depends on the sofa’s dimensions and the available space. A general guideline is that the table’s width should be no more than two-thirds the length of the sofa. The table’s height should align with or slightly below the sofa’s backrest for a visually cohesive look. Ensure there’s enough room for easy access and that the table doesn’t overpower the couch.
