Coffee Tables

To choose the right coffee table shape, consider the size and layout of your room, the shape of your sofa and how you use your living space. Rectangular coffee tables work well with longer sofas, while round or oval coffee tables can suit smaller spaces and encourage easier movement around the room. Square coffee tables are often a good match for corner or modular sofas. Whichever shape you choose, leave enough space around the table to move comfortably.

Coffee tables are designed to be lower so they sit comfortably in front of sofas and lounge chairs. In garden lounge sets, a lower table height makes it easier to reach drinks, snacks or books while sitting back and relaxing. Outdoor coffee tables are also designed this way to create a casual, laid-back atmosphere that suits outdoor living spaces.

Coffee tables trending now include curved and organic shapes, natural materials, sculptural designs and practical nesting styles. Rounded and irregular coffee tables are especially popular for creating a softer, more relaxed look, while wood and natural stone finishes such as travertine add warmth and texture. Nesting coffee tables are also on trend, offering flexible surface space while keeping living rooms practical and uncluttered.
