10 Designs That Capture The Essence Of A Beautiful, Large Coffee Table

Picking a coffee table goes beyond design. Typically, it’s the size that matters most. Often, we overlook the dimensions, failing to realize that certain coffee tables aren’t suitable for the room they’re in. It’s logical for the table to match the scale of the sofa and the room overall, which means a large living room necessitates a large coffee table.

In this spirit, we’ve handpicked ten stylish design ideas for you to peruse.

When it comes to large coffee tables, there are various design options. The table’s shape can be square, rectangular, oval, round, hexagonal, etc., depending on the room layout. Aside from the shape and proportions, the material, finish, and color should also be considered. These elements must be in sync for the design to work well in the space.

This Fendi table is a good example that encompasses all of these mentioned elements.

Elongated coffee tables are ideal for living rooms with long sofas or sectionals. The Elliptical Table, designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1951, is an iconic example. Its design is classic, simple, and elegant, earning it the nickname “the surfboard table”.

Despite its size, the slender metal base and overall shape of the top create an illusion of a smaller table.

The choice of material, finish and color is crucial when dealing with a large coffee table. The larger the surface, the greater the visual impact. For instance, if you choose a solid wood table like this one designed by Emanuel Ungaro, the wood’s grain and color will become the focal point.

This will showcase the material’s distinct features and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the space.

A large stone coffee table has a different effect on a room compared to a wooden one. This marble coffee table from Exteta has a simple design that mimics live edge wood to balance the room’s ambiance and decor.

In certain cases, one large coffee table may not be as practical as two smaller ones. Consider this casual table from Exteta as an example. It is quite large, and its design allows for multiple pieces to be aligned in order to create a larger structure.

In this specific arrangement, two tables align perfectly with the sofa’s dimensions.

Some coffee tables come in pairs like the Cerne duo. These tables look great together, complementing each other. They’re made from thick wood slabs and capture the beauty of concentric tings in their designs, highlighting the brown tops with brass edges.

Juniper is an unusual coffee table that combines contrasting forms, materials, and finishes. The table’s frame is wooden and divided into two separate elements, joined at the top by a circular piece with a darker finish, partially hidden under one of the frame modules. Inside this uniquely-shaped wooden frame, there is room for a round module covered in synthetic leather.

The table measures 1100 mm x 1100 mm x 410 mm.

One issue with large coffee tables is that they’re not as practical or easily movable as small ones. The Borghese table solves this problem in a clever way. Instead of one large top, it has three small ones, inspired by umbrella pines.

The steel base supports these solid wood tops. Multiple tables can be combined to create a larger composition.

This is the Joi table, a stylish modern furniture piece that stands out. The design is simple. What’s interesting is the choice of materials. The frame and storage shelf are made of common wood, while the top is made of concrete with a thin and slender construction.

This large coffee table belongs to the Blend collection, which also includes dining and side tables with the same material combination.
