Coffee tables and side tables in beautiful designs

Coffee table or side table?

Coffee tables and end/side tables have both an aesthetic and practical role in your interior design, and the two types of tables can be used so many places in your home. Even though it can be hard to distinguish coffee and side tables from each other with the naked eye, there are some small differences.

Coffee tables are larger and often lower than end tables. End tables are most often placed at the end of the sofa at about the same height as the armrest. A coffee table is often placed in front of the sofa at the same height as the sofa seat.

Even though coffee tables and side tables are two different pieces of furniture, they can be used interchangeably. End tables can be a great alternative to a coffee table, if you have a small living room and don't want a coffee table to take up a lot of space. You can also choose to combine two end tables instead of a coffee tables. If you choose nesting tables, they can be arranged to give the illusion of a single table, but can also be pulled apart and used seperately.

A coffee table that fits your style

Your home decor style is personal, and your coffee table should complement the rest of your decor. For many, the classic choice is a wood coffee table or side table, a black coffee table or a white coffee table. Are you more into an industrial and urban look, a coffee table or side table in marble or cement look might be the right choice for you. A glass coffee table is perfect, if you want your living room table to blend in or want the room to seem bigger. To create contrast in you living room, you can choose a colourful coffee table or side table that stands out. Whether you prefer a modern or more classic look, you can find the perfect coffee table at JYSK.

Choosing the right coffee table

The right size and shape of your coffee table most often depend on the size of your living room, the size and shape of your sofa, and how you wish to use your living room table.

Square coffee table

A rectangular or square coffee table is a classic choice for your living room. Square coffee tables can be found in many different designs and materials so you can find one that fits perfectly in your living room. Depending on the size and shape of your room and sofa arrangement, you can choose a smaller square coffee table or a larger rectangular coffee table.

Round coffee table

A round coffee table can be a great option for many living rooms. Whether you have a smaller house or flat with tight space around your sofa area, or a large living room where you opt for a large corner sofa or u-shaped sofa, a round coffee table can be an excellent choice. The advantage of a round coffee table is that it doesn't take up as much space in the room, and as it doesn't have corners it's easier to get around if space is tight. Despite that, it still leaves plenty of space on the table for decorating with a vase or put down a cup of tea.

Oval coffee table

An oval coffee table will help you achieve a similar look to a rectangular table, while providing some of the advantages of a round table. As the table doesn't have corners, it's easy to move around it, while still offering plenty of space on the table. An oval coffee table is also a great choice for families with children because of the lack of sharp corners.

Coffee table with storage

If you're in need of a coffee table with storage, you can find a selection of coffee tables with one or more shelves, where you can store books, magazines, remotes, your knitting and much more.

Lift top coffee table

A lift top allows you to raise the level of the table surface. A lift top coffee table is extremely practical if you often eat or work at your coffee table, where a higher table surface is beneficial.

Small coffee table

A small coffee table is an obvious choice for a small living room and a smaller sofa, e.g. a 2-seater sofa, but they can also be used for bigger sofa arrangements. If you fall in love with a smaller coffe table or side table, you can choose to combine several or choose nesting tables that come in a set of two tables in different sizes that can be pushed under each other. This gives a dynamic and modern look, while making it easy to reach the snacks from all seats. It also leaves plenty of space to add decor on your tables.

Whether you're looking for a big or small, square or round coffee table, JYSK has a wide selection of beautiful coffee tables and side tables for your home.

A side table with several functions

A coffee table or side table is a piece of furniture that can serve several functions besides as a living room table. A small coffee table or side table is great to use as a bedside table, as a play table in the children's room, or to display plants or decor pieces - the possibilities are endless.
