Coffee tables

Find your perfect coffee table

Coffee tables are so much more than a surface for mugs and TV remotes, they are the centrepiece of your living room. Your coffee table is a statement of style and functionality. When it comes to buying home furniture, choosing the right coffee table becomes extremely important since the whole vibe of your living room can depend on it.

Things to consider before buying coffee table

With so many options to choose from, consider these 5 factors to help your narrow things down:

1. Know your needs- Start by figuring out what you really need. Is it a storage solution or a versatile surface for your everyday activities? Knowing your purpose will guide you towards the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
2. Size- Imagine your coffee table as a friendly companion to your sofa. Make sure it's just the right size – not too big, not too small. Consider the dimensions of your living room and opt for a table that not only complements your existing furniture but also allows ample space for easy movement.
3. Style- Your home is a reflection of you, so let your coffee table speak your style language. Whether you're into modern vibes, classic elegance, or a mix of everything, choose a table that feels like a fit in your decor. The best material for a coffee table depends on your style; wood for warmth, glass for elegance, or metal for a modern touch.
4. Practicality- Imagine your coffee table as a multitasking wizard. Does it need to pull storage tricks, or maybe moonlight as extra seating? Pick one that fits seamlessly into your daily routine, adding a touch of magic to your living space.
5. Budget- Set a budget that works for you, and explore options within that range. Quality matters, so consider how much use your coffee table will get and invest accordingly.

How to style your coffee table

So much more than a surface for mugs and TV remotes, a coffee table offers all sorts of potential to brighten up your lounge. A glass coffee table makes for an elegant, subtle addition to the room, while a coffee table with storage is perfect for creating space for a striking centrepiece. Need some design inspiration? Here are a few ways you can make your coffee table the focal point of your living room.

Trust in age-old coffee table styling tricks:

• There are three go-to coffee table staples to accessorise with: books, candles and flowers. A carefully selected stack of books and magazines that you can look through will add colour, texture and a personal touch to your living room, while candles allow you to create a cosy ambience.
• Flowers make a striking coffee table centrepiece, but they’ll need replacing frequently, so you may want to consider plants as an alternative. They add just as much vibrancy and should last longer when cared for properly. If you don’t have the greenest of fingers, try small succulents which require very little maintenance.

Get creative when styling your coffee table:

• Prefer to make a statement? Be adventurous with your coffee table and use it as somewhere to display more unusual trinkets and ornaments.
• Alternatively, your coffee table could be the perfect place for a special ornament or souvenir you’ve picked up from your travels, or any antiques or collectibles you’ve been wanting to display.

Don’t go overboard adding to your coffee table:

• While it’s the decorative touches that will make your coffee table stand out, you don’t want it to look cluttered. Limit your arrangement to specific areas or the centre of the table, making sure there’s still space for food and drink. Keep things simple so as not to overwhelm the eye, especially if you’ve got a glass coffee table.
• If you choose a coffee table with storage, you can keep your books, magazines and other living room essentials in this space while making the surface all about your own personal style.
