With plenty of styles, shapes and finishes, the perfect coffee table for you is just waiting to be discovered.

Add function and flair with modern designs

Modern coffee tables can adapt to any interior style, from minimalist apartments to a broad range of family homes. If your vibe is clean-lined and understated, a light oak finish or glass coffee table will keep things feeling open and bright. For those who prefer a bold, industrial look, tables with metal frames or a darker finish create striking contrasts and a bit of urban edge. Whatever your taste, our range lets you get creative with your lounge and find something that fits your lifestyle and room size.

You’ll find coffee tables in all sorts of shapes – classic rectangles, neat squares, gentle curves or even funky asymmetrical pieces for a standout touch. If you're short on space in your living room or bedroom, opt for a round coffee table or sets of nesting tables, which you can tuck neatly away when you need the floor space. 

Love layering textures and finishes? It’s easy to mix things up with a brown wood coffee table for warmth, or go for glass and metal for a punchy, modern feel. However you style it, your modern coffee table brings effortless balance to your living area.

Style it your way with a choice of materials

The material you pick for your modern coffee table is mostly about matching your routine and style. Secondly it’s worth noting how the materials need to be maintained. 

At vidaXL, you’ll have your pick of:

• Glass: Opens up even the cosiest lounge and reflects natural light. Perfect for keeping things feeling airy and uncluttered while adding sophistication to your living space.

• Wood: Adds classic warmth and a down-to-earth feel. Wood coffee tables are timeless and super versatile for any mood. 

• Metal: Gives you an industrial edge and a modern look. Metal finishes are always on-trend and easy to clean – perfect for busy homes. 

• Marble or stone: Makes a subtle statement with cool patterns and smooth surfaces – elegant choice for a touch of luxury. 

Prefer something that shows off natural textures? Try an acacia coffee table for a bit of extra character. Glass-topped tables brighten up darker rooms, while sturdy wood options suit relaxed hangouts. Not to worry – there are modern or luxury coffee tables for every kind of home, and each material stands up to everyday life with just a little care.

Choose shapes and sizes to suit your space

Finding the right modern coffee table is all about matching your need for functionality and the layout of your room. Got a big sofa or an open-plan area? Rectangular coffee tables pull everything together, while round designs are great for smaller living rooms or corner lounges. Nesting coffee tables give you flexibility for entertaining, with extra surfaces that stow away when you're done. If you want extra storage, look for options with lift-up tops or built-in compartments to keep remotes, magazines, books and snacks in easy reach.

Want to make a design statement? An industrial coffee table or a bold, sculptural base will add a creative twist to your space. If you’re after a simple refresh, a round or oval table softens sharp edges and creates a friendly, accessible feel. No matter the shape, these coffee tables combine practicality and purpose, making your lounge both welcoming and ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

Coordinate your modern coffee table across the room

Styling your modern coffee table is easy – just think about how it fits with the rest of your interior. Match your table’s colour or material to your sofa and armchairs to create a unified look, and use a stylish rug underneath to add texture and anchor the space. For example, try pairing a grey coffee table with soft-toned cushions or a patterned rug for an effortless blend.

Accessorise with your favourite décor – a scented candle, a couple of books or a potted plant make your coffee table feel personal and lived-in. If your lounge gets busy, keep things simple on top so there’s room for snacks, drinks or board games. Modern coffee tables are made to complement your lifestyle, making your living area feel genuinely yours every day.

Pick the right finish for everyday living

Choosing living room coffee tables is all about finding what matches your lifestyle and room style. Painted, glossy or untreated wood finishes all bring a different mood to your area. A black coffee table adds a dash of drama and makes other colours pop, while a natural wood finish keeps things calm and cosy. Make sure your table isn’t too wide or too tall for your sofa – you want a piece that’s just right for your space and easy to move around.

If you’ve got wooden floors and plenty of bookshelves, a matching wood finish ties everything together. Prefer a splash of colour? Go bold with a painted top or a bright rug – your coffee table’s there to help you get creative and have fun with your interior.

Easy care tips for keeping your modern coffee table

Keeping your modern coffee table in shape is simple and doesn’t take long. Give glass and metal tables a quick wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to stay streak-free. Wood coffee tables respond well to regular dusting and the occasional polish – just use coasters for drinks to avoid marks. Marble or stone tops need a gentle wipe with non-acidic cleaner and shouldn’t be left damp, keeping their shine for years. No matter what material you pick, a little care goes a long way in making your table last.

Tidy up regularly, shake out your rug and plump your cushions to keep your sitting area feeling fresh. With a well-maintained modern coffee table, your living room stays ready for everything from movie nights to parties with mates.
