Coffee Table Types
Coffee tables as we know them today are late Victorian inventions — a long, low table designed to be placed in front of chairs and sofas in shared living areas. They’re meant to support the beverages, magazines, and décor items you use daily. From unique, inexpensive coffee tables to those that are more works of art than furniture, they can give your living room interest while still performing an important function.
Traditional: These are the most common coffee-table living-room furniture available today. Following their Victorian roots, these tables are generally made of wood and feature carved legs and other 19th-century touches.
Modern: Even the most basic of these pieces are highly minimal, casual coffee-table designs. Other designers have chosen to take them further. The contemporary coffee table combines elegance and simplicity with ease of use, making it a perfect addition to even the most minimal interiors.
Eclectic: Perhaps the most exciting of all coffee tables, diverse designs are more works of art than furniture. Genuine showpieces, these eccentric artifacts create instant interest in a room and are a strong statement of your personality and tastes. If you’re after a truly fancy coffee table, start here.
Size, Shape & Placement Tips
Think beyond style: proportion is everything. A small coffee table is perfect for studio apartments or compact seating arrangements, while a larger, rectangular design can anchor an expansive sectional sofa. Whether you need a bedroom coffee table beside a chaise for your morning latte or a round table to soften sharp angles in a modern loft, measure twice — buy once.

The Difference Between Cocktail Tables and Coffee Tables
A cocktail table has one specific purpose — entertaining. Designer cocktail tables are constructed to be elegant but hearty enough to withstand food and beverage service. If you enjoy entertaining at home, they are an absolute essential.
Choosing Elegant Cocktail Tables
Before you search for luxury cocktail tables, you need to understand what to look for. There's no shortage of cheap cocktail tables available online, so it pays to research.
Materials: Avoid cocktail tables built with wood, wicker, or rattan tops. Think of the spilled drinks and crumbs that coat your table by the end of a party! Liquids can ruin the finish of these materials quicker than you can reach for a rag. Glass or marble is infinitely easier to clean and will save your nerves in the long run.
Height: Low-profile cocktail tables are standard. The top should be no more than an inch or two lower than the seat of your chairs. Any higher or lower than this, placing your glass or plate down becomes awkward. Think reachability!
Placement: Because most cocktail-table designs are shorter, the most common position for them is in front of your sofa or chairs. This is the ideal spot for unusual cocktail tables that function as conversation pieces. Want a taller table? Choose a design behind your couch, allowing you to place your glass behind you as you chat. Once again, it should be an effortless motion. Too tall, and you'll end up reaching.
