When furnishing your home, the checklist of big ticket items goes; mattress, dining table, sofa and coffee table. These are the fixtures while the rest merely act as design details or storage options to further embellish the space.
Your choice in coffee table sets the tone for your living room. Your TV may be the focal point - whether you like it or not - and your sofa naturally takes pride of place, but it’s this low centre-stage item that sets the style and aesthetic.
This multi-purpose furniture piece may act as your dining table too for those without the luxury of space or those fond of comfy TV dinners as well as a work surface, a display for your art and fashion books or just a place to put your feet up and enjoy a glass of wine after a long day.
To beautifully compliment your living room, there’s a coffee table for all design schemes whether your style is more industrial with metal fabrics and black hues, Scandi-chic with minimalist wood construction, modern with glass, classic oak or pine or Art Deco-inspired opulence in gold and marble.

Tulip Oval Coffee Table Arabescato Marble & White Base
Dimensions: W107 x H38 x 70cm
It’s difficult to resist the charm of a Tulip table but they’re far more than just aesthetically-pleasing and seemingly gravity-defying. The tables were designed by Eero Saarinen so that any chair style no matter the legs could fit underneath due to the oval surfaces that are much wider than the base. So if you are intending for your coffee table to do far more than just provide a surface for your books, this could be the one. With a marble top, this interpretation of the style is clean, classic and elegant but practicality-wise, the invisible polyester coating makes it stain-resistant and wipe-clean.
