13 Best Coffee Tables to Inspire Your Living Room Makeover
When it comes to refreshing a space in your home—especially a highly-trafficked one like a living room—it can feel intimidating. But a living room makeover doesn’t always have to be something that requires rippin g out floors or painting. Quick and easy changes like swapping in a great new coffee table can make a big impact. Because it’s such a focal point, it’ll quickly serve as the centerpiece of the space, so all you need to do is add a few accent pillows and a pop of self-adhesive wallpaper, and… makeover complete.
When shopping for coffee tables, consider your square footage, design style, and functional needs. For example, if your living room doubles as a home office, a trendy, lift-top coffee table could be perfect. Or if you need extra organization, a traditional option that can house storage baskets underneath is super helpful. If you’re ready to make the change, this list has plenty of the best coffee tables out there.
1. Scott Living Gramercy Coffee Table
This coffee table has it all—drawers to hide unsightly items like remotes when they’re not in use; additional storage to show off coffee table books or other decorative objects; and a gorgeous finish that will complement tons of styles.
2. Christopher Knight Home Salim Glass Coffee Table
Perfect for someone who loves a statement piece, this eye-catching glass table is a modern, sophisticated addition to a living room. The tempered glass table even has a shelf underneath to artfully display objects. Try adding some silver or gold accents on top for a particularly luxurious feel.
3. Wade Logan Akxel Coffee Table with Storage
This coffee table has three dividers underneath its glass top, making it easy to display decorative items or simply store things inside. If you want to use it for storage, grab some rattan or cloth baskets to create a streamlined look. This table also has a neutral mid-century modern style that will go well with most living rooms.
4. Millwood Pines Black Sparta Coffee Table
Lift-top coffee tables are an awesome accompaniment for a work from home day—especially if you have a small living room. Just do as the name says: Lift the top up and it will create a separate work space or even an eating space. Underneath, there’s the ability to store things like laptops, tablets, and notebooks. This one is a scratch-resistant table, too, so it can handle some wear and tear.
5. IKEA Lack Coffee Table
IKEA is the go-to place for affordable, simple furniture pieces. This desk is no exception. It’s a sturdy, classic silhouette with a shelf underneath; and because it’s under $100, it’ll be perfect for a starter apartment or a college dorm. Choose from white-stained oak, white, or black-brown.
6. Home Decorators Collection Cheval 2-Piece Coffee Table Set
Another option for fans of glam is this marble coffee table. It’s a round, two-piece nesting set, which is perfect to keep in the center of the room and then move around when guests come for more surface area to place drinks or plates. The marble is gorgeous, and the gold base adds an art deco touch.
7. Mercury Row Campanelli Coffee Table
If modern is more your speed, try this unusual coffee table that has a uniquely shaped top—an ideal find for those looking to keep things simple but on-trend. It comes in five finishes and is especially great for apartments, since it will keep the space looking large without causing too much clutter.
8. Latitude Run Mylo Coffee Table
This coffee table does triple the work: It can act as a stool, a coffee table, and a storage ottoman. You can remove the wood top to store larger pieces like throw blankets or linens or invite people to use it as a seat. And just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it’s boring to look at: The navy fabric adds visual interest without being too overwhelming.
9. COZAYH 2-Piece Coffee Table Set
This round set has a neutral wood base, but the ring pattern on the top adds texture and a unique twist. It includes a coffee table and a smaller side table, so you can use it for a variety of purposes.
10. Walker Edison Declan Coffee Table
This modern, industrial table is under $150 but looks much more expensive, thanks to the powder coated steel legs and walnut finished top. It’s incredibly sturdy—it can hold up to 75 pounds of weight—so it’s a great option with a great price.
11. William Sonoma Tropea Coffee Table
This gorgeous coffee table is made from fiberstone—which means while it looks like concrete, it’s made from more lightweight and durable material. It can be used indoors or outside, and the fluted sides are reminiscent of classic Greco-Roman pillars. It comes in white or a matte gray, both of which will be stunning in a more modern home.
12. One Kings Lane Cyrano Coffee Table
If the only material you’ll consider for a coffee table is wood, you might as well spring for the best. This reclaimed elm table is as unique as it is gorgeous. Because it’s made from natural materials, each table comes slightly different from the next. It’s a truly one-of-a-kind piece that’s simple but beautifully constructed with a textured finish and stunning wood grain patterns.
13. Beachcrest Darek Coffee Table
This table has beautiful colors to choose from, such as rich blue, yellow, lime, ivory, and cranberry red. For those who need bright and bold pieces, it’s the perfect touch that will allow you to play with bright tones and hues.
