WHICH COFFEE TABLE IS BEST FOR YOU?
Which coffee table is best for your particular needs and requirements? What about a set of nesting tables? Perhaps you need to add a side table? A new coffee table together with a few new cushions and a throw can also revitalise an old sofa and make it feel like new.
TIPS FOR CHOOSING A COFFEE TABLE
There a few important factors to consider before purchasing a new coffee table, to ensure you end up happy with your choice and buy something that will last for many years to come. What shape and what material do you like best? What height should the table be to go with your sofa? Is arranging several smaller nesting tables together possibly the best solution for you?

1. WHAT SHAPE SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY COFFEE TABLE?
Coffee tables come in a variety of designs, shapes, and models. We help you find the right shape based on your home's conditions, such as the size of the room and the model of your sofa.
ROUND COFFEE TABLES
Round coffee tables are becoming increasingly popular, both as standalone tables and in sets of two. They soften the room's expression and break the often straight lines of the sofa.
A major advantage is safety, especially for families with children—as they lack sharp corners. Additionally, they often take up less space, creating a more airy impression, perfect for smaller areas.
We offer round coffee tables in several materials, such as white-pigmented wood, black, brown, and oak, with glass or stone tops. Choose the one that best suits your style and decor.
OVAL COFFEE TABLES
Just like round coffee tables, oval models have soft, organic shapes that create an inviting impression. They suit both classic and modern interior styles and are easy to match with different sofas. Regardless of the sofa model, an oval coffee table contributes to a natural flow in the room. Its elegant and timeless design becomes particularly prominent in natural materials like wood.
SQUARE COFFEE TABLES
Square coffee tables are perfect for corner sofas, sofa groups, and even divan or chaise lounges if space allows. They create a balanced feel and are easily accessible from all angles. Thanks to their compact form, they take up less space and are ideal even for small living rooms. Additionally, they become a natural gathering point for coffee, snacks, and game nights.
RECTANGULAR COFFEE TABLES
In many living rooms, with its rectangular shape, a coffee table of the same form naturally blends in and harmonizes with the room. Rectangular tables suit both straight sofas and larger corner sofas or sofas with a chaise longue. The practical shape provides space for both decorations and everyday items like the remote control or coffee cup.
2. HEIGHT
It’s important to consider the height of your existing sofa or armchair, to be sure that the coffee table is not too high or too low. Low tables often create an elegant impression, but are not particularly practical if, for example, you want to eat at the table. The standard height of a coffee table is roughly 45 cm. As a general rule of thumb, buy a coffee table that is around the same height as the seating height of your sofa.
3. CHOICE OF MATERIAL
The material you choose for your coffee table depends on how you intend to use it. If you are looking for a practical table that is easy to wipe clean, coffee tables in high-pressure laminate are an excellent choice. There are a variety of materials to choose from, let us help you find the one that suits you best.
WOODEN COFFEE TABLES
Wood is a natural material that never goes out of style. It is a timeless and versatile choice that fits many different homes and styles. With a wooden coffee table, you add warmth and create a cozy and homely feel. Wood, especially solid oak tables, is durable and ages beautifully. Each table has its unique grain and color variation, which means no table is exactly like another - something that is also the charm of wood.
COFFEE TABLES WITH GLASS TOP
A coffee table with a glass top is stylish and practical. Glass gives a sense of space, which is perfect if you have a small area or want to create a larger, airier impression in the living room. The table fits well with different styles depending on the base you choose, such as dark or light wood. Glass is a durable material that is easy to clean while adding a timeless and elegant feel. To further enhance the sophisticated tone, you can decorate with brass, chrome, or black steel.
COFFEE TABLE WITH MARBLE TOP
A coffee table with a marble or stone top gives a luxurious and timeless impression that can enhance the entire room. Stone is one of the most durable and robust materials, and if you take proper care of it, it can last for many years. However, it is important to keep in mind that marble is a porous natural material and can absorb liquids. Therefore, it can be sensitive to liquids, which is good to keep in mind when choosing a marble table.
4. NESTING TABLES AS COFFEE TABLES
It is also common today to combine several smaller nesting tables of different heights so that they together form a coffee table. Nesting tables can look in many different ways, but most often you have two tables in the same color in varying sizes that you buy as a complete set. Of course, you can also create your own variant and mix two completely different tables.
The advantage of nesting tables is that they are light, flexible, and you can either place them together or apart. Maybe you want to eat at your coffee table, and then it's easy to just move one table and then put it back. Nesting tables are also nice as console tables next to the sofa.
