Sometimes a room is crying out for the accessory that’s just right. Not too big, not too small: the perfect finishing touch. A small round coffee table might be just what your living room needs. Just like their larger cousins, small round coffee tables can be made in any material or style to suit the room they’re in. Neutrals are trendy right now, so natural wood is a popular choice. Unfinished wood offers a more rustic look while wicker is a natural material that adds textural interest. Marble is an option that can look chic and sophisticated.
Small coffee tables can also serve as staging areas for décor arrangements, or as additional storage space. Potted plants and trays holding items like coasters, vases, and figurines are good options for smaller tables. Stacked books are also often used to create levels, just as they would be on larger tables.
Let’s explore some stylish examples and find that small round coffee table that’s just right for your space!
