The coffee table is the jewel of your living room. It's the spot for your morning coffee, a good book, and that decorative touch that completes the room. Still looking for a smaller table? Then check out our side tables.
Coffee tables: the stylish centerpiece of your living room
A coffee table does more than just fill a space. It connects the sofa, armchair, and the rest of the living room into one harmonious whole. At MooierThuis, you will find coffee tables in all styles and sizes, from compact and minimalist to large and statement-worthy. There is a suitable choice for every interior and every budget.
Which coffee table suits your interior?
The style of your coffee table largely determines the atmosphere of the living room. Are you a fan of a warm, natural look? Then choose a solid wood coffee table in oak or acacia wood. Combine it with a rug in a natural color for a Scandinavian or rural interior that feels instantly inviting.
Prefer a modern look? A coffee table with a marble-look tabletop, a sleek glass top, or a concrete-look finish gives your living room a contemporary and refined appearance. Robust and industrial is also an option, with a sturdy wooden top on a metal frame. Whichever direction you choose, our collection always has a coffee table that seamlessly fits in.
Practical and beautiful: what should you pay attention to?
A good coffee table combines aesthetics with function. When choosing, pay attention to these points:
Height: a coffee table looks best at the same height as the seat cushion of your sofa, or slightly lower. This creates a balanced and comfortable arrangement.
Width: the table should cover about two-thirds of the width of your sofa. This makes the combination look proportionate.
Walkway: keep at least 40 to 45 cm of free space between the table and the sofa. Enough to walk past comfortably.
Storage space: choose a model with a lower shelf or drawer if you want practical storage space without sacrificing appearance.
Sets of two: maximum flexibility in the living room
A popular choice is a coffee table set of two. One large and one smaller table that you can arrange separately or combine. This gives you extra table space when you have guests and a light, playful arrangement at other times. Combine such a set with separate side tables for even more flexibility in the living room.
Style it: how to get the most out of your coffee table
A coffee table is the canvas of your living room. Small details make a big difference. Place a tray on it to group loose items for a tidy look. Add a stack of coffee table books, a small artificial plant, or an elegant vase. Play with heights for a dynamic whole. For extra atmosphere in the evening, many people like to place a candle holder or candelabra on the coffee table. Simple, but the effect is significant.

Frequently asked questions about coffee tables
What height is a coffee table?
Most coffee tables have a height between 35 and 50 cm. The ideal height is equal to or slightly lower than the seat cushion of your sofa. This ensures a comfortable and visually balanced arrangement.
What size coffee table fits in my living room?
A coffee table should cover about two-thirds of the width of your sofa. For a 240 cm sofa, you would look for a table of approximately 140 to 160 cm wide. Also, allow for at least 40 cm of walking space around the table.
What is a good combination of materials for a coffee table?
Wood combines beautifully with fabric sofas and natural rugs for a warm interior. A glass or marble-look table works well in a modern interior with clean lines. A metal frame combines well with both wood and glass for an industrial or modern atmosphere.
Is a round or rectangular coffee table better?
That depends on your space and arrangement. A round coffee table is ideal in a smaller living room or with a corner sofa, as it has no sharp corners and makes the space feel freer. A rectangular coffee table fits better with a longer straight sofa and offers more table surface.
Can I also use a coffee table as a side table?
Yes, especially for smaller models. A compact round coffee table also works perfectly as a large side table next to an armchair or in a reading nook. Do you want to be truly flexible? Then choose a coffee table set of two or combine a coffee table with separate side tables.
