Great Coffee Tables to Buy for Your Home
Coffee tables are a necessity in any living room. They provide a place to set drinks and snacks, while also adding style to the space. Coffee tables can be made from many different materials, including glass, wood, metal, and more. Let's review some things to consider before buying the coffee table of your dreams.
After sofas and chairs, coffee tables are the most important element in any living room. Equally stylish and functional, a coffee table has the power to anchor a room, and offer additional surface areas and storage space. No matter what style decor you prefer, LuxeDecor offers designs that range from modern and contemporary to antique replicas and rustic pastoral pieces. Add a new level of chic sophistication to your space with a designer coffee, cocktail, or accent table from our store.
Before You Buy
There are so many nice looking coffee tables to choose from, so you will want to take some time to consider what you want and what unique coffee tables match your style.
- Budget. This is a big consideration when purchasing furniture for the home. You will need to consider your budget, what you are looking for in the coffee table (size, style), and how much space it will take up in the room. Elegant coffee tables are usually made of glass or wood and have a higher price point. For a more affordable option, you can look at metal or glass tables.
- Style. The style and shape of the coffee table will depend on your personal taste. You may want a square end table to open up space in a cramped room, while others might prefer round ones for aesthetic purposes. There are many different shapes including rectangle, oval, triangular, circular, and more. There are so many beautiful styles to choose from, including industrial chic and modern designs. You will want to match the coffee table with your living room furniture as well as other decorative pieces in the space! For example, if you have blue couches and an abstract painting, metal or wood coffee tables might not be the best choice.
- Size of Your Living Room. The size of your living room will also determine what you can fit in it and how long a table should be for optimal use. For example, if you have an open floor plan with no furniture blocking any doors or windows, then you may want to get a bit larger coffee table to fill the space. Drum coffee tables are great for small to medium-sized rooms because they don't take up too much space and have a shorter height. There are other small coffee tables that will work great in apartments, condos, and small homes. A medium-sized coffee table offers the best of both worlds and can fit in most living rooms.
- Coffee tables can also go in other rooms, such as a library room, outside patio, or even a bedroom. They make a perfect centerpiece in any room where a couple of people can sit and have a drink and a good conversation. Pair your coffee table with a nice set of chairs when placing it in a room other than a living room.
Features to Consider
- Storage. You may want a coffee table with built-in storage for things like magazines, remotes, and other items. If you have cats or dogs that love to knock everything over when they are running around the house, then this is an important consideration as well.
- Shelving. A coffee table with shelves is great for displaying items, whether they are books or plants. There is often one large self compartment on the bottom of a coffee table, with a glass or wood topper on top. Coffee table shelves also offer a place to set drinks when you have company over and don't want them on the tabletop! Shelf-less tables are perfect if you prefer your living room furniture to be more airy and open.
- Functionality. Coffers can also be used in lieu of a TV stand if your living room doesn't have the space for one. This is great if you want to pair your television with a nice piece of furniture. If your coffee table is upholstered or is made of a lot of cloth, you can also use it as an ottoman. You can then place a tray on the ottoman coffee table so that it can safely hold drinks, remotes, and other small items.

How to Choose the Right Coffee Table
Make Sure It Matches Your Current Furniture!
You'll want to make sure that your coffee table is cohesive with your current home decorations and furniture. Is your home mostly modern? Then make sure you get a modern coffee table. Do you have a natural look in your home? Wooden coffee tables may work best. Take some time to think about what kind of look you are trying to achieve in your home.
You'll want to think about size, shape, color, weight, height, and other unique features when choosing a coffee table for your living room or any other space in your home. While all of these styles don't need to perfectly match in your home, make sure at least one or two style elements match.
- Choose the Best Size Coffee Table for Your Room. You'll want to know your coffee table dimensions to make sure that it fits perfectly in the room you place it in. Measure the length, width, and height of the space your coffee table will go into. The main area should be a little less than three-fourths of the total area's size.
- Consider How You'll Use Your Coffee Table. Do you want to use it for drinks? For snacks? Do you need storage options on either side or in one spot at the end? Will there be seating directly around the coffee table, or is it more of a focal point? These considerations will help you choose the best coffee table for functionality and style.
- Make Sure It’s Family Friendly. Choose a type of material if you have children or pets who are always messing with everything! You might not be able to control their behavior but you can protect your furniture by choosing a surface that is easy to clean, which will be especially important if you have kids.
Don't forget about height! You'll want to make sure that any items on the table are at a height that is safe for your children to reach.
