The right tables turn a seating area into a proper living room - a coffee table to gather around and a side table close at hand for a lamp, a drink or your book. Our range pairs generous coffee tables and compact side and end tables in matching and complementary finishes, from warm oak and walnut to painted, glass and metal, so you can furnish the whole space in one considered go.
Below you'll find easy guidance on sizing each table to your sofa, choosing shapes that suit your room, and mixing finishes so everything looks pulled together - with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Two simple rules keep everything in proportion. For a coffee table, aim for roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa and a height level with, or just below, the seat cushions, leaving around 40-45cm between the two so there's legroom within easy reach. For a side table, the top should sit close to the height of your sofa arm - a little above or below is fine - so it's comfortable to set down a mug without reaching. Keep side tables slim in tight spaces so they don't block the walkway past the sofa.
Your coffee and side tables don't have to be an exact match - they just need to feel related. Sticking to one wood tone across the room reads as calm and coordinated, while pairing a wood coffee table with a metal-and-glass side table adds welcome contrast. Repeat a material - a metal leg here, a glass top there - to tie mismatched pieces together. If your living room doubles as a play space or office, choose tables with a drawer or lower shelf to hide remotes, chargers and clutter, and favour rounded corners and wipe-clean tops in homes with young children.
Keep it simple and useful. On a coffee table, a tray corrals remotes and coasters while leaving a clear zone for cups; add something tall, something to stack and something sculptural, varying the heights. On a side table, leave room around a lamp for a glass and a book so it stays practical. Two or three considered items per surface is plenty - the aim is styled, not cluttered.

No - they just need to feel related. One wood tone across the room looks calm and coordinated, while mixing a wood coffee table with a metal or glass side table adds contrast. Repeating a material helps tie different pieces together.
Look at nests of tables, round designs and slim side tables. Nests free up floor space when not in use, round shapes ease movement around the room, and glass tops keep a small space feeling open and airy.
Yes - many of our coffee and side tables include a drawer or lower shelf, ideal for keeping remotes, chargers, magazines and everyday clutter tidy and out of sight, which is especially handy in a room that doubles as a play or work space.
