The coffee table is often the focus of attention , so getting one that fits both your style and your space is paramount. That's why we go to great lengths to offer you a huge selection , whether it's a modern coffee table , such as the wonderful Azzuro glass coffee table or the more rustic Mexican look from our Corona range. Many coffee tables come with shelves underneath for magazines , or drawers for more discreet storage. Also worth considering is an end table which can complement the coffee table , either as part of a set or in contrast. Many of our coffee tables can be delivered to you next day , so do use the filters on the left to refine your search.

Coffee tables can completely transform your living room , whether it’s a glass coffee table to give off the illusion of more space , a small coffee table for a more confined area or a round coffee table as a focal piece for your sectional sofa. There are some considerations that you can take into account when planning your living or family room and selecting a coffee table to maximise your use of space and fit in with your overall room design.

The first big question is whether you are in the market for a living room or family room coffee table. Family room coffee tables will typically have more use and wear and tear than living room tables , therefore opting for a less fragile material like glass could be a sensible decision. You may also want to look for a coffee table with storage options for the family room , especially if storage space is at a premium in other areas of the house. This can avoid clutter and offers a handy place to store remote controls , candles and all sorts of other bits and pieces out of sight.

The size of coffee table that you choose is largely dictated by the other furniture and objects in your room. We would typically recommend aiming for a table which is at the same height as your sofa cushions or slightly lower , and there should be at least 14-18 inches between the table and the sofas or armchairs surrounding it. If you move your table much closer to the armchair , it may appear restrictive.

In terms of selecting a coffee table that is the right shape , you have typically got rectangular , square and circular options to select from. This , again , is heavily dependent on the type of sofa or armchairs that you have. A large , long sofa can be paired with large round or rectangular coffee table , while a corner sofa can be paired with large round or square tables. If your room and other furniture items are particularly angular , you may want to consider a round table to smoothen the overall aesthetic.
