Why coffee tables are more than just furniture
Coffee tables aren’t mere fillers — they’re the heartbeat of your living room. They anchor your space, invite moments of pause, and often sneak in a few clever tricks like secret storage or adaptable surfaces. Whether your home leans minimalist or brims with life, these tables don’t just fit — they elevate.
Designed for real life (yes, that means spills, snacks, remote battles, and the ever-growing pile of books), our coffee tables balance function and form with a subtle mastery that makes living beautiful and effortless.
How to pick a coffee table that fits your lifestyle and layout
Choosing a coffee table is more than aesthetics — it’s about harmony with your living space and your day-to-day. Ask yourself: Can it hold my morning coffee and evening glass of wine? Can it hide the chaos without hiding style?
- Low-profile tables keep small spaces feeling open, offering surface area without overpowering.
- Storage coffee tables are your secret weapon against clutter, keeping essentials tucked away but always within reach.
- Nesting tables flex to your needs, expanding for guests or shrinking back when space calls.
Find a coffee table that respects your space and routine. Aim for a height close to your sofa seat (around 40-45 cm) and allow at least 40 cm clearance around it, because flow matters more than you realise.
Coffee tables by size, shape, and function
No two living rooms are the same. Your coffee table should echo that individuality.
- Small coffee tables: Perfect for apartments or cosier nooks, these tables punch above their weight in style and practicality.
- Large coffee tables: For the hosts, the book lovers, and those who want a centerpiece that speaks volumes.
- Rectangular tables: The classic shape that suits most layouts, offering maximum surface without fuss.
- Round tables: Soften angles and encourage conversation with curves that invite closeness. Ideal for tighter seating areas.
- Tables with storage or drawers: Because sometimes your living room needs a little more discretion.
- Nesting tables: Adaptable, versatile, and perfect for unpredictable gatherings.
Choose materials and colours that fit your home’s rhythm
The right coffee table material doesn’t just look good — it works with your lifestyle, your space, and your mood.
- Wood (walnut, oak, ash): Warm, tactile, and quietly evolving — wood ages with grace, gaining character with every day.
- Glass: Light, reflective, and deceptively spacious — glass tables lift the room, making any size feel bigger.
- Marble: Statement-making and cool, marble tables blend luxury with natural artistry — no two are alike.
- Metal (brass, iron, steel): From industrial grit to polished shine, metal adds edge and durability without bulk.
FAQ
What size coffee table should i choose for my living room?
Often known as the 2/3 rule, look for a coffee table roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa, with a height close to your sofa seat (about 40 to 45 cm). Also, leave at least 40 cm clearance around the table for comfortable movement and leg room.
How do i maintain and clean different coffee table materials?
Wood benefits from regular dusting and occasional polishing. Glass requires gentle cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners. Marble should be wiped promptly to avoid stains and cleaned with pH-neutral products. Metal tables are low maintenance but check finishes for specific care instructions.
Is a round or rectangular coffee table better?
Neither shape is inherently better — it depends on your space and lifestyle. Rectangular tables are versatile and offer plenty of surface area, making them ideal for larger rooms or when you need extra space for books, trays, or snacks. Round tables soften the room’s angles and encourage conversation, plus they’re safer in tight spaces where sharp corners could be a hazard. Think about how you use your space and move around it, then pick the shape that fits your flow best.
