Coffee Tables

A coffee table is far more than a simple side piece of furniture. As the true centrepiece of the living room, it anchors the space, adds character to your decor, and accompanies everyday moments of relaxation. It holds books, decorative objects, drinks when friends come round, and plays a full part in the atmosphere of a living space.

At Diiiz, we've designed a collection of designer coffee tables that combines timeless style, premium materials, and customisation options. Round, oval, rectangular, or nesting coffee tables, our models suit small spaces just as well as large contemporary living rooms.

Crafted from carefully selected materials such as marble, travertine, oak, walnut, glass, and metal, our coffee tables are built to last for years and become genuine statement pieces. Discover our full collection of designer tables to complete your living or dining room.

How to choose a coffee table

Choosing a designer coffee table means weighing up several criteria:

• the size of your living room
• the size of your sofa
• how you move around the room
• the shape of the tabletop
• the materials
• the style of decor you're after
• how you'll use the table day to day

A coffee table should be as functional as it is beautiful. It needs to blend seamlessly into your interior while meeting your everyday needs.

Before making your choice, ask yourself a few questions:

• Do you have a large living room or a more compact space?
• Are you after a discreet table, or a statement piece that draws the eye?
• Do you need a large surface for entertaining?
• Are you looking for a table that's easy to move, or a more substantial piece?

These questions will help you choose the model that best suits your lifestyle.

What shape of coffee table should you choose?

Round coffee tables: soft and inviting

Round coffee tables are especially popular for their soft, harmonious lines and their ability to soften a living space.

With no sharp corners, they make it easier to move around the room and work particularly well in small living rooms or family spaces.

A round marble or travertine coffee table instantly brings a sophisticated, timeless touch to your interior. That's the case with the Kenzi coffee table, with its tapered marble base and black metal top: a piece that's both understated and refined, equally at home in a living room or a professional setting.

Oval coffee tables: elegant and contemporary

With their organic lines, oval coffee tables have become a staple of contemporary interior design.

They offer a generous surface area while keeping a light, airy feel.

At Diiiz, we've noticed growing demand for oval natural stone coffee tables, particularly in contemporary interior design projects.

Rectangular coffee tables: a timeless classic

The rectangular coffee table remains a safe bet.

It naturally structures a room and pairs easily with most living room layouts.

Its generous proportions make it an excellent choice for larger living spaces.

Nesting coffee tables: practical and versatile

Nesting coffee tables win people over with their flexibility.

They let you adapt your space to your needs and are an ideal solution for small living rooms or contemporary interiors.

Organic and sculptural coffee tables

Organic shapes, free of any sharp angles, are winning over more and more fans of contemporary decor. They bring softness, movement, and a handcrafted feel to the living room.

The Amaruu coffee table is a great example: fully curved, crafted from MDF with a matte beige concrete-effect finish, it captures the Japandi spirit and fits just as naturally into a minimalist interior as a boho-chic one.

What size coffee table should you choose?

Getting the dimensions right is essential for a well-balanced living room.

A few guidelines:

Sofa size	Ideal coffee table length
2-seater sofa	70 to 90 cm
3-seater sofa	90 to 120 cm
Large corner sofa	120 to 160 cm

It's also a good idea to leave around 40 to 50 cm between the sofa and the coffee table so you can move around comfortably.

The ideal height for a coffee table is generally between 35 and 45 cm.

Which coffee table suits your sofa?

Your choice of coffee table also depends on the layout of your living room.

• A straight sofa pairs easily with a round or rectangular coffee table.
• A corner sofa is beautifully set off by an oval coffee table or a large rectangular one.
• A modular living room lends itself particularly well to nesting tables.
• In a large living space, a sculptural coffee table can become a genuine centrepiece.

What material should you choose for a coffee table?

Marble coffee tables

Marble is a benchmark material in high-end furniture.

Each tabletop has unique veining that makes every table genuinely one of a kind.

Calacatta, Carrara, or Verde Alpi marble bring elegance and character to any living room.

A marble coffee table stays timeless through changing trends. The Kenzi coffee table is a great example of that elegance: its tapered base in natural marble, in white or black, is topped with a black metal surface for a look that's both minimalist and refined.

Travertine coffee tables

Travertine is currently one of the most sought-after materials in interior design.

At Diiiz, we're seeing strong demand for travertine coffee tables, particularly in high-end residential projects and contemporary hotels.

Its mineral texture and natural variations bring warmth and authenticity to a space.

Solid wood coffee tables

Wood remains a reliable choice for creating a warm, inviting living room.

Oak brings a natural, sturdy feel, while walnut stands out for its elegance and deep tones.

A solid wood coffee table develops a beautiful patina over the years and fits with a more sustainable approach to furniture. For a more sculptural take, the Aurora coffee table, in wood, with its fluid, wave-like lines, is a perfect example of this pursuit of minimalist, timeless design, while still offering handy side space for magazines and books.

Glass and metal coffee tables

Glass and metal offer a different take on design: visually lighter, playing with transparency and contrasting materials.

The Kyoto coffee table captures that balance perfectly: a thick 19 mm glass top resting on a sculpted wood base, available in walnut, natural wood, or black wood, for a look that's both airy and graphic.

Taking a completely different approach, the Bell coffee table is all about colour: its blown-glass base, available in several shades, is topped with a metal surface, making it a truly sculptural piece that catches the eye instantly.

How to style a coffee table

A coffee table plays a full part in setting the mood of a living room.

A few well-chosen items are all it takes to show it off:

• a beautiful art book
• a vase
• a scented candle
• a decorative tray
• a few ceramic pieces

The goal is to create a harmonious arrangement without overcrowding the surface.

Common mistakes to avoid when choosing a coffee table

A few mistakes come up again and again:

• choosing a table that's too large for the room
• ignoring the space needed to move around it
• picking a height that doesn't suit the sofa
• focusing purely on looks
• overlooking everyday practicality

A well-chosen coffee table should be just as practical as it is stylish.

Coffee table trends in 2026

Among the most sought-after trends right now:

• travertine coffee tables
• organic shapes
• sculptural coffee tables
• cloud-shaped coffee tables
• combinations of natural stone and wood
