Which coffee table suits which interior style?

Modern coffee tables work with lots of looks, from Scandi to industrial. Round and oval designs feel softer, make it easier to move around the room and help create a cosy atmosphere. More angular tables give the room structure and can work particularly well in larger living rooms as a clear focal point in front of the sofa.

What are popular materials for modern coffee tables?

The material you choose shapes the character of your coffee table and the feel of your living room. Solid wood adds natural warmth, while metal and glass create a more modern look. Combinations of wood and metal are also a popular choice, especially for an industrial-style feel.

What are the best options for a compact coffee table?

Small living rooms often suit practical, compact table designs. Round coffee tables can feel a little less bulky and save space. A nest of tables offers maximum flexibility, because you can pull them out when you need them and tuck them away neatly when you don’t.

Are there affordable coffee tables with storage?

IKEA has affordable coffee tables with smart storage. A coffee table with drawers, a lift-top, or open compartments gives you space for remotes, magazines and everyday bits and pieces. That helps keep your living room looking tidy and frees up space on your shelving units or in your chest of drawers.

How can I make my coffee table the centre of my living room?

Choose a design that stands out from the rest of your furniture, whether that’s an unusual shape, a bold colour or an interesting surface. Organic, asymmetric shapes catch the eye without overwhelming the room. Soft, indirect lighting can also help set the mood and highlight your coffee table in the evening. A statement rug underneath defines the seating area and draws attention to the centre of the room. With the right mix of design, placement and lighting, your coffee table becomes the spot everyone naturally gathers around.

What are some creative ways to decorate a coffee table?

A small vase of fresh flowers, a few candles, or a decorative bowl is often all you need to add a quick touch of style. A tray helps you carry coffee from the kitchen and makes the tabletop feel more organised. If you want the room to feel more cohesive, pick up colours from your sofa cushions or rug with a table runner, or choose candle holders that match your floor lamp.
