Coffee Tables

The coffee table is the center of your living room, so it has a huge impact on the space's style. This versatile piece of furniture is more than just a spot to set down a mug filled with a tasty beverage from your coffee maker. It is also helpful for defining the style of your living room. Since it's usually the first thing you see as you step into a room, the coffee table needs to look just right. Bed Bath & Beyond offers a wide range of coffee tables. Whether you want an elegant marble-topped table for a glam living room or a distressed Forest Gate™ wood table for a farmhouse living room, we have plenty of great options.

To find the ideal table for your home, pay close attention to its materials and size. What size coffee table should you buy? The usual mid-sized coffee table is around 25 inches wide and 50 inches long, but you might want to size up in a large room or size down in a small room. The table you choose should also be compatible with your other furniture. Typically, a coffee table is around two-thirds the width of the sofa and narrow enough to allow enough space to walk around each side of the table. The type of material used is also important. Wood has a natural elegance to it, while a metal or glass coffee table is sleek and modern. Softer materials like fabric allow coffee tables to serve as ottomans. Faux materials like composite wood or marble-patterned plastic can give you a stylish look on a budget.

As you shop, another important thing to consider is the shape of the table, which is an important part of its style. For example, a round Madison Park® coffee table can look a little softer and more organic than a bold, rectangular coffee table. The shape is also important for finding the right fit. Rounded coffee tables do a better job of fitting into small spaces, so they can maximize surface area while still being compact. The tidy shape of a square coffee table fits neatly into the nook in the middle of a U-shaped sectional. Meanwhile, if you have a big, empty space in the middle of your living room, an elongated coffee table can look better.

Don't forget that some coffee tables come with extra features. If you want your coffee table to double as a desk or dining table, try a lift-top table. This has a panel you can raise to a higher level, making your living room furniture even more functional. Another helpful option is a coffee table with storage. Tables that have drawers along the side or a shelf underneath make it easy to organize random items in your living room, like spare batteries, drink coasters, or video game controllers. Some features can even be used to make your coffee table extra stylish. A Safavieh glass coffee table with a shelf underneath can be used for displays. The glass lets you admire beautiful books or collectibles while protecting them from dust and grime.
