Have you ever thought what would you do if you didn’t have a coffee table in your living room? Can you imagine the absence of this essential part of your home and the empty space in front of the sofas or couches? Because I simply can’t even think of not having this piece of furniture which I use for my morning coffee, afternoon tea or evening glass of wine.
I have collected here some truly inspirational examples of modern coffee tables. Well, some of them have classic or traditional touches but despite their appearance they can always be placed in an ultra modern interior as well as they stand out and make a firm statement in minimalist and futuristic homes.
Now, let’s have a quick look though the different modern coffee tables.
Modern Coffee Tables – Ideas
As I have already outlined, modern coffee tables can be used either for their natural purpose – to be a foundational where you can leave your cups, glasses and dishes, also as a storage place for some magazines, books or even decorative stuff. Many people place flowers in a vase that matches the design of the table, thus adding a cozy touch in the living room interior.
Others prefer to sticking to only one simple piece of a coffee table and they place two or three coffee tables in their rooms. If done professionally, the results are stunning as you can see from the images displayed here.
Modern Coffee Tables – Designs
Today’s modern designs use mainly three materials and they are glass, wood and metal. I must say that each one of them perfectly fit in any kind of modern and contemporary types of house and apartments so it’s really up to your own preference what type of coffee table to choose.
Glass modern coffee tables are great since they are easy to maintain. You only need to be careful not to scratch the top surface and everything will be fine give time. Also, you will find that glass shapes can be a really stylish accent in your home interior.
Wooden coffee tables are a little bit more expensive that all other types. However, they are considered more luxurious since they display natural elements inside. Well, next you buy a real wood table you’d better think on the consequences on Nature that every cut tree leaves.
Metal contemporary coffee tables are preferred in minimalist interiors. In a minimalist environment it’s all about straight and firm metal lines and elegant and simple shapes. Metal coffee tables have them all.
