Coffee Tables
Coffee Tables
Coffee tables and side tables serve a dual purpose in any living space. As well as offering the chance to add a stylish centrepiece to your room or an aesthetic addition to a seating area, they also have a very practical purpose. Coffee tables are used to keep drinks, as well as books and magazines, vases and ornaments and other devices such as remote controls. Some creative souls even use them as makeshift work desks!
But how do you choose the right coffee table for your space? Your decision largely comes down to several key factors. Think about what kind of living space you want to create, based on the following criteria.
Think about the colour and material of your coffee table to match your interior design. If you prefer a classic and warm look, wood is an excellent choice, offering both traditional and contemporary appeal. Metal coffee tables add an industrial or modern touch, boasting sleek lines and enduring quality. Prefer a natural, airy feel? Wicker coffee tables create a relaxed, coastal vibe.
Marble coffee tables elevate any living space with a touch of luxury and elegance, featuring unique patterns and a durable surface. Resin coffee tables offer a contemporary look with versatility in design, known for their durability and ease of maintenance.
For a light and open feel, particularly in modern interiors and smaller spaces, glass coffee tables are ideal. Glass fibre combines strength with a sleek appearance, perfect for stylish designs. Specialty materials like rattan can add a unique stylistic touch, offering a distinctive and personalised look to your home in Singapore.
Maintaining the beauty and functionality of your modern contemporary coffee tables are essential, and different materials require specific care methods to keep them looking their best:
- Wood: Dust your wooden coffee tables regularly with a soft cloth and apply wood cleaner as needed. Avoid placing hot or wet items directly on the table’s urface to prevent damage. This care is particularly important for preserving the quality if you got yourself a wood designer coffee table.
- Metal: Clean metal coffee tables using a damp cloth to remove dust and spills. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching. Use a mild detergent diluted in water for a deeper clean, ensuring your table retains its sleek appearance.
- Wicker: Wicker handles some heat, but constant sun and high temperatures in Singapore can make it brittle and break, so think twice before placing your wicker-made low table in direct sunlight. Dust it with a soft brush or vacuum to remove debris from the crevices. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly to prevent mould.
- Marble: Clean marble surfaces with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners to prevent etching. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. A marble coffee table adds luxury but requires careful maintenance.
- Resin: Resin coffee tables are durable and easy to clean. Use a mild detergent and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
- Glass: Clean glass coffee tables with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove smudges and fingerprints. Regular cleaning will keep the glass clear and streak-free.
- Glass Fibre: For glass fibre tables, use a damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials that might scratch the finish.
What style works best for your home? Are you looking for retro chic with a mid-century-inspired coffee table or does a more modern polished concrete finish better suit your space? Size matters too, as does shape. With everything from large and round coffee tables to small and square (as well as nesting tables) available, you can find the right table for your practical and design needs.
It’s also a good idea to think about extra storage options, such as drawers and shelves. This can make it easier to keep your space tidy, providing valuable space to store items like chargers, magazines, coasters and more. This helps to cut back on clutter and keep coffee table surfaces clear for when you need them.

FAQ
Our coffee tables are designed for ease of assembly. For your convenience, we offer free assembly services in Singapore. If you prefer to assemble the table yourself, our delivery partners will place the unassembled item(s) at your doorstep upon arrival.
You can protect your coffee table from scratches and stains by implementing a few simple strategies:
- Use Placemats and Coasters: They act as barriers between hot dishes and drinks, and you can even find designs that complement your other furniture such as a contemporary dining table or dining room furniture.
- Invest in a Table Protector: Tailor-made table pads offer an extra layer of protection against everyday wear and tear.
- Employ Coffee Table Runners and Cloths: These add style while providing additional scratch and stain defense.
- Clean Up Spills Promptly: Addressing spills quickly reduces the risk of permanent stains, especially if you have a wood coffee table or a marble coffee table, as these materials can be particularly susceptible to damage from liquids such as red wine.
- Choose the Right Cleaning Products: Use gentle cleaners specific to your table's material to maintain its finish and durability.
Choosing the right size coffee table involves considering the dimensions of your living room and the arrangement of your furniture. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:
- Measure Your Space: Ensure there is enough room around the table for easy movement. A good rule of thumb is to leave at least 45 cm between the coffee table and surrounding seating.
- Consider Proportion: The coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa to maintain visual balance.
- Height Matters: The table should be about the same height as the cushions on your sofa, typically between 40 to 46 cm tall.
- Shape and Functionality: Choose a shape that complements your space in Singapore, whether it's a rectangle for narrow rooms or a round coffee table for a softer look.
The best way to ensure your coffee table matches your existing decor is to choose pieces that match your Singapore home's style and colour scheme for a cohesive look. Here are some ideas:
- Consider the Material: Match the coffee table's material to the existing furniture in your room. If you have a lot of wood elements, a wood coffee table will blend seamlessly. For a modern look, a glass or metal table can add a sleek touch.
- Coordinate Colours: Neutral colours like black, white, or grey are versatile and can easily blend with various decor styles. If you want a pop of colour, select a coffee table that picks up an accent colour from your room and matches with other tables.
- Balance Shapes: The shape of your coffee table should harmonise with the shapes of other furniture pieces. For instance, if your sofa has soft, rounded edges, a round coffee table can create a balanced look. Conversely, a square coffee table works well with more angular furniture.
- Incorporate Personal Touches: Add decor items that reflect your personality and style. For example, a stack of your favourite books, a decorative tray, or a unique vase can make your coffee table stand out while blending with the rest of your decor.
- Focus on Functionality: Ensure the coffee table meets your practical needs. If you require storage, opt for a coffee table with drawers or shelves. This not only keeps your space organised but also complements functional decor.
- Layer Textures: Mixing different textures can add depth and interest to your living room. Pair a smooth marble coffee table with a plush rug, or combine a metal table with soft, upholstered furniture.
- Maintain Proportion: The size of your coffee table should be proportional to your seating area. A small coffee table works well in a compact living room, while a large table is better suited for a spacious area.
