Home Decor Nerdiness

I am trying to switch up my living with a few things. That got me doing a two hour dip dive into the most appropriate coffee table, that would match the colour and design of my chairs, TV stand, carpet and plants. I came across ideas such as warm and cozy, sharp and masculine, sharp contemporary, warm and inviting, bold, mid century etc. I was fascinated by the philosophies people put into just the design of coffee tables. Then I wondered, whether anyone would even notice the philosophy behind the choice for my weird looking coffee table if they visited. I guess not.

Are there any home decor nerds here. What's been your experience?
