What is a coffee table?

A coffee table is a low, practical surface usually placed in front of a sofa or lounge. It holds drinks, snacks, books, décor and anything else that needs to stay within reach.

Across homes in Australia, from city apartments in Sydney to suburban spaces in Melbourne, this table often acts as the anchor of the lounge layout. It adds structure to open-plan rooms and helps create a natural flow around seating.

Picking a coffee table that fits your lifestyle

Finding the right coffee table starts with knowing how it will fit into your day-to-day. Shape, size, and style all play a part in how it works with your lounge layout.

Think about these points when choosing a piece that makes sense for your living space:

• Sofa style and shape: A modular or L-shaped lounge may pair better with round or oval designs for easier movement.
• Everyday use: Tables that hold snacks, remotes, or drinks need sturdy tops and easy-to-clean surfaces.
• Visual balance: Match tones and textures to your existing décor for a more put-together look.
• Budget and quality: Options range from affordable basics to feature pieces with extra detailing or materials.

Which coffee table styles suit your space?

Style plays a big role in how a coffee table blends in or stands out. From bold shapes to subtle finishes, every option adds something different to your space.

Different looks suit different needs, and these styles from our collection cover a wide mix:

• Classic: Simple silhouettes and neutral tones that work in just about any living room.
• Modern contemporary: Sleek lines and low profiles, often seen in modern coffee tables.
• Coastal: Light colours and natural textures that pair well with relaxed, breezy décor.
• Country: Chunkier builds and warm timber tones for a more homely feel.
• Stone-look: Great for those chasing the look of marble coffee tables, without the weight or cost.

Coffee table options across our range

After narrowing down the style, it helps to look at the different builds available. Each shape and finish brings its own personality to a living space.

These are some of the most popular types across the collection:

• Wooden coffee tables: A match for coastal, country or classic rooms, bringing warmth and texture.
• Glass coffee tables: Great in modern homes, especially where light and space need a boost.
• Round coffee tables: Handy in smaller zones or walkways, offering safer edges and smoother flow.
• Square coffee tables: Work well with modular lounges or symmetrical layouts.
• Stone-like coffee tables: Often styled as a rectangular coffee table or oval coffee table, perfect for adding structure to contemporary spaces.

Which coffee table features make everyday living easier?

Choosing the right table isn’t just about style. Practical features can make everyday living smoother, especially in homes that juggle comfort and function.

Some designs are built to make life easier:

• Built-in storage: A storage coffee table is perfect for hiding away remotes, books or tech clutter.
• Durable materials: Durability counts in spaces where knocks, spills and busy routines are part of the day.
• Natural textures: Rattan and travertine finishes bring in warmth while being easy to maintain.
• Flexible formats: Nesting coffee tables offer extra surface space without taking up room full-time.

What size coffee table do I need?

Getting the features right is only half the job. The table also needs to suit the proportions of your room. A piece that’s too large or too small can throw off the balance.

The ideal size coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa, leaving room to move around it. Small coffee tables are perfect for compact lounges, and in small spaces, narrower shapes help maintain flow without feeling cramped.

How high should a coffee table be?

The perfect coffee table should be the same height as your sofa seat or slightly lower, usually by no more than 5cm. This keeps everything within reach and comfortable to use.

Going higher can feel bulky next to low-slung lounges, while anything too low can throw off the proportions of the room. When choosing a coffee table set, make sure the main table stays within that ideal range to keep the layout practical and balanced.

How to style a coffee table creatively

A few thoughtful choices can help your coffee table tie the whole room together. These tips can help you style with purpose, not clutter:

• Use stacked books, candles or ceramic pieces to bring texture and height to rectangle coffee tables.
• Keep things airy on white coffee tables by sticking to soft palettes and coastal-inspired décor.
• Add contrast to dark brown finishes with metallic trays or light linen coasters.
• Style side tables and ottomans nearby with complementary accents so the space feels cohesive.
• Match contemporary rooms with bold, sculptural pieces while keeping classic settings more toned down.

What to put on a coffee table?

Styling works best when there’s a balance between decoration and everyday use. The right mix keeps the table practical without it feeling bare.

Think of these as your building blocks for a well-dressed setup:

• Place a stack of books or magazines with interesting covers to anchor the layout.
• Use a tray to group small items together. It looks tidy and makes cleaning easier, especially on a tempered glass top.
• Add a plant or small floral arrangement for a natural touch.
• Include coasters so the table stays protected and guests have somewhere to set their drinks.
• On an outdoor coffee table, try using weather-friendly ornaments or lanterns that can handle the elements.
