Selecting The Right Coffee Tables for Small Spaces 

The right coffee table can act as a centrepiece of a room, giving you both a practical surface and an aesthetic boost, but choosing the right one - especially choosing coffee tables for small spaces - can be difficult if you aren’t sure what your options are. Homemakers Furniture can help you find the perfect addition to your home or office!

Think About Size & Proportions

The smaller the space you’re working with, the more important the design of a coffee table becomes, because you don’t want to lose too much space. Coffee table sizes can wildly vary, but that means you can always find one to fit even the smallest rooms and still have a functional, beautiful table.

Think About Shape & Style

Picking the design of a coffee table for living room or office spaces isn’t just about the style you like, there are some important decisions to make. In smaller rooms you’ll want to keep a few things in mind; rectangle or oval shaped tables give more space to move around, square or round tables work well with large or modular couches, and beware sharp corners with kids around!

Choosing the Right Coffee Table Material

It may seem daunting to pick a coffee table given all the choices, so we’ll narrow down the choice and make it easier for you to decide which would fit your house or office best!

Wood Coffee Tables

If you’re looking for a traditional or rustic design, or the popular mid-century modern aesthetic, a wood coffee table like our Arlington model brings a warm, beautiful look to any room. Or our Maldives table featuring Tasmanian Oak which pairs form and function and makes the most of small spaces.

Glass Coffee Tables

Glass tables are a classic choice, giving the illusion of more space with a modern, sleek aesthetic. These tables look great in any sized room, but need a bit more cleaning and can be hazardous in homes with children or large pets.

Metal Coffee Tables

Metal coffee tables can give you the best of both worlds; they’re durable and stylish, and can be paired with wood or glass for unique looks. Tables like the Dante are fantastic for modern aesthetics or a more industrial feel.

Think About Style & Aesthetic

Picking a coffee table is an opportunity to enhance the aesthetics of your room, so matching your coffee table to the existing decor of the room is important. Having a wood coffee table in a room with minimalist or modern design can sometimes clash, so you’ll want to think about the visual side of it, not just the functional.

Coffee Table Budget

So you’ve got an idea of a coffee table aesthetic, you know what size you need for your room, and now you need a budget. It’s very easy to spend far more than you planned once you see what’s available, so having a good idea of how much you want to spend and what fits in that budget is a great starting point. 

Keeping an eye out for sales or promotions can also land you with a really high-quality table without blowing out your budget.
