How can placing a small side table between two chairs create a more usable conversation corner?

Two chairs pushed randomly against a wall don’t automatically become a “seating area.” They’re just… two chairs. People may not naturally sit there because there’s nowhere to keep a cup, a phone, or a book.

When you place a small side table between them, that empty space suddenly becomes a real corner with a purpose. You can keep water, tea, a lamp, or even a small plant on it. Now, it feels like a spot where two people can comfortably sit and talk, or where one person can read quietly.

The table helps define the area. It’s like underlining a sentence so your brain knows, “This is a complete thought.” Even in a small living room, one such mini conversation corner makes the space feel more planned and inviting.
