The coffee table is the piece that pulls a living room together — a place to rest a cup of tea, stack a few books, and give your sofa something to sit around. Our range spans compact tables for flats and snugs, generous rectangles for family rooms, nests that tuck away, and storage designs that hide the everyday clutter, in oak, walnut, painted, glass and metal finishes to match the way you live.
Below you'll find simple guidance on getting the size, height and shape right, so your table looks in proportion and works hard day to day — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Two measurements make or break a coffee table. For length, aim for a table roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa — long enough to be useful, short enough to leave breathing space. For height, choose a table level with your sofa seat or up to a couple of centimetres below, so it's easy to reach a drink. Leave about 40–45cm between the sofa and the table — enough legroom, while still within comfortable arm's reach.
If your living room doubles as a play space or home office, look for coffee tables with drawers, a lower shelf or a lift-top for remotes, chargers and clutter. On materials: solid and oak-effect wood is warm and forgiving; painted finishes suit a coastal or country scheme; glass tops keep small rooms feeling open; and metal frames add an industrial or contemporary edge. Households with young children often prefer rounded corners and wipe-clean surfaces.
A simple formula never fails: something tall (a small vase or stems), something to stack (a couple of books or a tray), and something sculptural (a candle or bowl). Keep a clear zone for cups and use a tray to corral remotes and coasters. Vary the heights and stick to two or three items so the surface feels styled, not cluttered.
Aim for a table about two-thirds the length of your sofa, and a height level with or just below the seat cushions. This keeps the proportions balanced and makes the table comfortable to reach.
Around 40–45cm works best. It gives you room to walk past and stretch your legs, while keeping the table close enough to set down a drink without leaning.
Rectangular tables give the most surface and suit standard and L-shaped sofas. Round and oval tables are softer, easier to move around and safer with children, which makes them a great choice for smaller or busy rooms.
Look at nests of tables, round designs and glass tops. Nests free up floor space when not in use, round shapes ease circulation, and glass keeps the room feeling open and airy.
