Popular materials for coffee tables include wood, metal and glass. Wood is both durable and versatile, so it works well in many different shapes and sizes. This is a good option for a classic mid-century look. Metal coffee tables are incredibly durable and add sleek lines to your living room. Metal is also easy to pair with other furniture, so you can coordinate it with bolder pieces such as a mirrored side table or a wood-framed sofa. Glass coffee tables lend a light, airy look to your space. These are good options if your living room is on the smaller side, as they aren’t overbearing in snug space. Some tables mix materials. For example, many west elm designs feature metal legs and wood or glass tabletops.

Choosing the right shape for your coffee table is more than just a matter of personal taste; it affects both the functionality and aesthetics of your living space. Rectangle coffee tables offer ample surface area and fit well with longer sofas, making them ideal for larger living rooms. Alternatively, square coffee tables bring a sense of proportion to compact spaces or sitting areas that favor a more symmetrical layout. The choice between round coffee tables and oval coffee tables is often dictated by the room's flow and the seating arrangement. Round tables, with their lack of sharp edges, are a safer option in households with young children and fit snugly in smaller living rooms. In contrast, oval tables share the same benefits but suit longer rooms by maintaining smooth lines without compromising walkable space around them. Understanding your living room's dynamics and the interplay between furniture pieces can guide your decision, ensuring that your coffee table not only holds your coffee but also enhances the living experience within the room. Considering your space and seating arrangement will lead you to the perfect shape, marrying form and function beautifully.
