More than just somewhere to pop your cup of coffee, or prop up your feet, the coffee table has become a calling card for our decorating schemes. Whether it's the design of the coffee table itself, or how you decorate it, they're little microcosms of our homes, and what we want to say about ourselves. The coffee table is your home's most public gallery; a ready-made conversation starter for guests who gather around your living room sofa. The hub of cocktail nights with friends and movie nights with family, this piece of furniture also wears a lot of hats.
Yours might be pared-back and minimalist, it might be over-the-top and filled with decor, but no matter how personal a coffee table is, there are coffee table trends that inform the materials, forms, and design styles that people find themselves drawn to at any one time.
