    Furnishing a room by adding a coffee table is a smart choice. A coffee table can help to cover up any sore spots in the living area, create more countertop space, and double up as an alternative to busy dining areas. For home designers on a styling quest, coffee tables can be very useful with their sleek designs and the richness of choices with different finishing options, colours, and textures. As a piece of furniture, a coffee table helps to create the perfect blend of impressive visuals and practicality.

     

    While living room coffee tables can be the ideal furniture pieces that express your personal taste, they also serve as a crucial part of the living room decor, providing a handy area to easily stack magazines, remote controls, or other everyday accessories that can create clutter. Here are some tips to keep in mind while styling up your living room with a coffee table

     

    Identify Tables Suitable for Versatile Room Settings

    While home styling bloggers can argue about traditional versus modern coffee tables, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that even simple tables can get the job done without looking audaciously modern or being overly expensive due to their vintage inspirations. The simplicity and evergreen vibes of genuine wood coffee tables make them a preferred choice, particularly for evolving living rooms. This refers to living rooms in a young family home where the home space needs to be often revisited with emerging demands from toddlers and young adults to aging seniors, and unplanned renovations. Real wood coffee tables are more suited to changing home settings due to the purity of real wood’s grain patterns and the inherent hues. Just consider tables like the Raglan Coffee Table that can add a bit of subtle visual drama and blend in easily with contemporary and traditional room settings.

     

    Consider Round Coffee Tables for Smaller Spaces 

    Stylish round coffee tables, like the Di Legno Brooklyn Round Coffee Table, are perfect to complement any living room setting. They aptly find some floor space in the most tightly packed areas. Featuring a smaller surface area, round tables tend to take up minimum space. Round coffee tables might not offer the most storage options but they do enhance the look with their smooth edges and the spherical profile. 

     

    Consider Rectangular Coffee Tables for Spacious Rooms

    Rectangular tables give a more formal look, so they work best in traditional dining room setups or in homes where people prefer simple, straight profiles. Coffee tables like the Di Legno Newport Coffee Table are useful for hosting large gatherings in bigger living rooms. Set in an elegant geometric shape, such coffee tables are great for L-shaped seating arrangements. The rectangular coffee table's simple layout makes it ideal for use with different types of sofas or other, upholstered seating furniture. A rectangular coffee table with a shallow bottom shelf beneath also offers handy storage space, making it easier to stack books, writing pads, digital tablets, or remote controls.

     

    Elevate Elegance with Natural, Light Coloured Coffee Tables

    For homeowners who prefer natural textures without bold/striking colours, the Raglan Coffee Table can be a great pick. It impresses with its minimalistic design and is wide enough to be used for more than just hosting coffee mugs or tea cups. The coffee table's natural wood grain patterns give it an outstanding appearance that also helps it to blend in every type of room setting. The use of Tasmanian Oak, a premium Australian hardwood, further enhances the natural appeal. This table can be teamed with other Tasmanian Oak furniture options that are easily available on Roomlane.

     

    The Coffee Table Way: Recreate, Replenish or Buy New

    If you don’t want to spend on buying a new coffee table right away, you can think of getting the aging table repainted or refinished. However, if you are sure about replacing one or if you are buying a coffee table for the first time, do spend a minute browsing the Falcon Coffee Table - this one has a stunning slimline frame along with soft edges and a smooth finish. Don’t stop at just shopping for a great coffee table. You need to groom the coffee table area to add some visual drama with the addition of beautiful table accessories, runners, books, and vases. Similar to how attractive showpieces can be a conversation starter, neatly stacked books and cute decorative ornaments on a table can help to make the coffee table more complete, an integral part of your living room ensemble.

     

    When Coffee Tables Really Help: Organising Living Rooms 

    When conceptualised, all rooms are meant to evoke a sense of calmness rather than infuse anxiety–the latter brought about by living areas overwhelmed with too many things lying outside their respective place, creating a sense of disharmony. A large rectangular coffee table with storage can save the day with smarter features like a lift-top functionality that transforms it into a roomy workspace and roomy drawers that are useful to store and organize daily-use items. 

     

    In Conclusion… 

    You might want to evaluate a table in terms of its resistance to unintended scrapes and scratches. In family homes, tables with smoother edges are a safer option. If quality is the deciding factor for you, invest in the inarguable aura of hardwood tables like the Australian Oak Messmate Timber Coffee Tables at Roomlane. These sustainably made, hand-selected tables promise the highest quality standards for years to come.
