If you are a regular reader of this blog you have probably seen my living room revamp, here. The room is nearly finished but there are still a few things I need to get, like artwork, new cushions and a coffee table.
At the moment I have an old Ikea coffee table that I´ve had for about 10 years, it has really seen better times, and it’s now a bit too big for our current living room. My idea is to get a small table or nest of tables that we can put to one side whenever we don’t need them or whenever we have people round.
I really don’t want a coffee table that is too expensive -I do have young children after all, and even if they have a room to play in they still spend a bit of time in the living room.
1/ Dwell Lift Up Compact Coffee Table
I really like this table, it´s quite compact and it has a bit of storage space which is perfect for hiding remote controls, coasters, etc. I also love the metal legs, they make the table look very modern, I think this will be perfect for my living room.
This table is £249
2/ Oliver Bonas Nest of 3 Tables
I just love everything in Oliver Bonas, it’s one of my favourite shops at the moment. This nest of tables come in a pink colour too. I have magnolia walls and I want to put a bit of colour using accessories, so this will be a perfect choice.
I popped to an OB store earlier this week to see if they had either model in stock and they didn’t but I was very impressed when they offered to order both for me so I could see what they looked like with no obligation to buy.
3/ Zara Home Round coffee table
This is a beautiful table, nice, simple and really smart. My only worry is that the top is made of glass and I am not sure how that will cope with my two boys. I will always be a bit worried about them breaking the table or getting hurt if they break it. Still I really like the style and I think it would fit really nicely with the modern look I want to achieve.
This is £129.99
4/ Habitat Kilo Nest of tables
You can see there is a bit of a trend here right? The Habitat table is also very similar to the Oliver Bonas one, although this one is square instead of being round. This Habitat table is also much cheaper than the Oliver Bonas one as it is now reduced to £60
So these are some of my ideas for coffee tables, what do you think? Have you got any other suggestions? Do you like any of these?
