The art to picking the right coffee table for your living room comes down to three things: colour, material, and size.
For example, if your space is expansive and open-plan, you might want a large central piece like the Molly Coffee Table by Jardan to help fill out the room with its oak timber structure and organic-shaped top.
A classic pick for fans of earthy tones and minimalistic interiors is the Lagoon Coffee Table by Trit House. Made up of a timber base and a travertine top, this design is available in a high and low option that can be nestled together to create a matching set for extra impact.
Or perhaps your living room is styled around a specific colour palette? The Sequence Round Table 02 from Cult is available in 10 colours (including a playful deep red!) so you can customise it to tie in with the existing pops of colour from your favourite rug, artworks, or surrounding pieces.
Alternatively, you can make a strong statement simply with the eye-catching metallic finish of the Tub Coffee Table by Fearon. The aluminium table’s striking block-like silhouette combines sharp corners and smooth edges, and it’s at the perfect height to complement your couch.
The Cu Table by local Melbourne maker Lauren Lea Haynes Studio is another sleek steel option, featuring edgy details like perforated legs topped with a sculptural cloud-like shape.
But you don’t have to stick to just one table to complete your perfect living room. Opting for two or three smaller pieces gives you the flexibility to mix and match materials, and play with their placements depending on how you’re using the living room that day.
The Stage Marble Side Table Tall by RJ Living is a good example of a classic piece that you can move around the room to accomodate guests, plus we love how it looks paired with the contrasting timber details of the Pillar Coffee Table by TS Makers — who handcraft the sculptural legs from their Sydney workshop!
