We usually view a coffee table as a functional piece of furniture that lets you keep your mug, phone, remote control, and other objects (you name it!) within arm's reach of the couch.

Creative Coffee Table Designs That Make a Statement
Funky Modern Epoxy Wood Tables
Our funky modern coffee tables blend contemporary design and the beauty of natural wood. We've gone beyond a traditional rectangular or round coffee table, experimenting with shapes. For example, our cute shark and surfboard coffee tables are among the all-time favorites with homeowners who want to stand out.
The rich grain of oak, walnut, maple, or poplar paired with eye-catching epoxy resin creates truly unique coffee table designs. In addition to the irresistible aesthetic appeal, the use of epoxy ensures that each table is durable and lasts for years.

FAQ About Coffee Table Styling and Size
What size coffee table is best for a small living room?
In a compact living room, this is the scale that matters. As a rule of thumb, a coffee table should be about 2/3 the length of your couch. This way, it will feel balanced and won't overwhelm the space. Generally, look for narrow profiles and lighter bases. Also, a square or round coffee table is a better choice than a long rectangle.
How to choose a coffee table for your living room?
For starters, decide on the size you'll want. Measure your sofa and stools so the coffee table sits comfortably in the middle of your seating arrangement, without blocking circulation. Then consider the function: do you need extra storage for remotes and magazines, or only a surface for coffee mugs and a vase of flowers? If storage is your priority, choose a coffee table with shelves or drawers. Finally, select the material. A solid wood table is sure to add character and the feel of luxury, while a piece with epoxy elements is about interest and a modern edge.
How to decorate a coffee table stylishly?
You can try mixing decorative objects of different heights, for example, a stack of books, a candle, and a small plant in a ceramic pot. Another awesome way to decorate your coffee table is to use seasonal decor, like fresh flowers in spring or pine cones in winter. Still, avoid cluttering the surface – leave enough room for the table to do its job.
What shape of coffee table works best for a small living room?
A round coffee table is the most forgiving choice for a small living or family room. It doesn't have sharp corners, making it easier to move around.
