Versatile Design
Round coffee tables are incredibly versatile, effortlessly blending into diverse interior styles to complement and elevate any space with their smooth curves that contrast elegantly with the straight lines of sofas and chairs. They work seamlessly in both small and large areas, serving as a focal point in a living room, providing a surface for drinks, books, or decor, offering storage solutions with shelves or drawers, and occasionally doubling as extra seating, making them indispensable for both functional and aesthetic purposes in home decor.
Aesthetic Appeal
Rectangular and square tables offer a more structured and symmetrical look, while round and oval tables will add a softness the room.
Space-Saving
Round coffee tables are ideal for smaller spaces due to their lack of sharp corners, which facilitates easier movement and prevents a room from feeling cramped, making them particularly suitable for compact living areas or apartments. Their shape promotes a sense of flow, enhancing traffic movement and spatial openness, contrasting with rectangular tables that often define specific pathways and zones within a room.
Functionality
Promote a more intimate and conversational atmosphere, as people can sit around it without feeling too far from each other.
Family-Friendly
For households with young children or pets, round coffee tables offer a safer alternative to rectangular or square ones. The rounded edges reduce the risk of injury from accidental bumps and falls, providing peace of mind without compromising on style.

Size and Scale
Consider the size of your living room and the furniture around the table. A coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa to ensure balance and proportion.
The height is also crucial – it should be slightly lower than the sofa cushions to facilitate easy access to items on the table.
Material and Finish
The material of your coffee table can significantly impact the overall look and feel of your room. Timber tables offer warmth and a natural appeal, while glass-topped tables create a sleek, modern vibe. Metal and stone options are perfect for industrial or contemporary settings. Choose a finish that complements your existing decor and reflects your style.
Functionality
Think about how you plan to use your coffee table. If you often entertain guests, opt for a table with additional features like shelves or drawers for extra storage. Nesting tables provide practicality for those seeking flexibility, as they can be effortlessly rearranged or stored away when not in use. The Otway round tables complement our Johanna ottomans, providing additional seating and enhancing legroom.

Centrepiece
Make your coffee table the focal point of your living room by adding objects. A vase of fresh flowers, a decorative bowl, or an artful sculpture can add a touch of elegance and personality to the space.
Layering
Create visual interest by layering different items on your coffee table. Stack a few coffee table books with a small plant or candle on top. Mixing heights and textures will give your table a curated, stylish look.
Trays and Bowls
Use trays and bowls to organise smaller items and keep your table looking neat. A beautiful tray can hold remotes, coasters, and other essentials, while a decorative bowl can be a catch-all for keys and small objects.
