Coffee Tables
Find the coffee table that pulls your living room together. Choose round or rectangular shapes in oak, white marble, mango or reclaimed wood. Some designs hide storage in drawers, shelves or trunk-style lids. There are sizes for compact flats and large family rooms. Standard delivery is free to mainland UK.
How to Choose the Right Coffee Table
The coffee table sits at the heart of the living room. It holds drinks, books, remotes and feet. It also anchors your seating area. Getting the size and shape right makes a big difference.
Size and Height
Aim for a table around two thirds the length of your sofa. The top should sit level with, or just below, the seat cushions. Leave 40 to 45cm between the table and the sofa. That gives enough legroom while keeping drinks within reach.
Round or Rectangular?
Rectangular tables suit long sofas and corner sofas. They give the most surface space. Round tables soften a room full of straight lines. They're also easier to walk around in tight spaces. Our Olympia round marble table is a popular choice for smaller rooms.
Coffee Tables With Storage
Storage helps keep the room tidy. Look for drawers for remotes and coasters. Lower shelves hold magazines and baskets. Trunk-style tables, such as the Christchurch, hide blankets and games under a lid.
Choosing a Material
- Oak finish – warm and hard-wearing, ideal for family homes.
- Marble – cool, smart and easy to wipe clean.
- Mango wood – rich grain with a contemporary look.
- Reclaimed wood – every piece has its own marks and character.
Complete the Look
Match your coffee table to a TV unit or lamp table from the same range. Add a console table behind the sofa for extra surface space. Finish with a tray, a candle or a stack of books. See our full living room furniture for more ideas.
Care Tips
Use coasters under hot and wet drinks. Wipe marble spills straight away to avoid stains. Dust wood with a soft, dry cloth.
