11 Chic Coffee Tables Perfect For Small-Space Living

If you've poured your time and money into finding the perfect small-space sofa, you'll want to complement it with a stylish, compact, and functional coffee table. Coffee tables are essential for corralling everything from drinking glasses and plates to coffee-table books, candles, and other decorative objects. When you're tight on space, the criteria for finding the perfect coffee table should take dimensions and any special features into consideration. For instance, if you work from home but don't have a bonus room for an office or even space for a desk, a coffee table with a lift top will allow you to work from your sofa (or eat, if you like to enjoy meals in front of the TV).

Whether your style leans toward midcentury modern, bohemian and artsy, or rustic, we've curated small-space coffee tables that fit every aesthetic. We've collected different shapes of coffee tables as well, so whether you need a rectangle shape that's narrow and long, prefer rounded options, or want something a little more out of the box like a triangle or a swiveled option that shifts forms, we have those, too. Last, but not least, is price consideration. We've uncovered affordable gems from Amazon, Target, and Walmart, as well as elevated options from Lulu and Georgia, West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Castlery. If your living room has just enough room for a sofa, lounge chair, and coffee table, we're confident we have the table you've been looking for to pair with your seating. Browse the styles ahead to find your perfect match.
