Coffee tables and matching side tables for your living room
Matching your coffee table and side tables gives your living area a satisfying sense of cohesion. The natural finishes like rattan and wood look paired with a soft tonal colour scheme will fit beautifully into a living space. With plenty of surface area on the coffee table for a decorative vase or “coffee table book” and all your essentials on the side table, you’ll never have far to reach to access your latte, glasses, or phone.
Trending styles of coffee tables
The Mocka design team love using natural tones to create a beachy or coastal aesthetic. Feel like you’re in the Hamptons with chic minimalist styles that provide the surface you need, yet maintain a spacious feel in the room. For innovative low-lying coffee tables with plenty of storage space and shelves, try the Savannah, Inca, Jesse, Zara, or Denham.
We’re also obsessed with nesting tables that stack together neatly for their super space-saving quality and versatile uses. Check out the oh-so-sleek Vigo Nesting Tables that provide that vital extra space when you have friends over or need to spread out a little.

Finding the best side tables for your space and decor
Side tables are an elegant and versatile addition that can come in handy in any room. Place all your essentials like your coffee, phone, and wine glass within easy reach of the armchair, thanks to this extra convenient spot. You can choose side tables to match your bedroom furniture or dressers. Likewise, they can be used as a lamp table for reading in bed or a surface to eat meals off (if you don’t have a dining room table.) You can even take them outside for a makeshift drinks table beside the bench seats.
Size and height do matter
At Mocka, we believe that functionality always comes first. Finding the right size and height for all your tables is essential. A low-lying coffee table is perfect for lounging around and doesn’t obscure your space. For hall tables, you might benefit from something slender at waist height that you can conveniently place items on as you walk through the door.
Storage can be a key feature
A great coffee table also offers the additional benefit of extra storage space. Hide your books, electrical chargers, and more, with tables such as the Sadie, Jesse, or Savanna, which offer drawer and cabinet space. Or combine your storage and display space with a single drawer coffee table that provides a cubby hole to keep ornaments, display books or even the remote control.
Round, square, or rectangle, the choice is yours
With so many shapes and styles to select from, there’s no need to limit yourself to a rectangular coffee table. Instead, discover the right size and shape for your living area. Round coffee tables are compact, and a transparent glass top allows you to appreciate the textured rug or wooden floor underneath. Nesting tables offer vital extra space when friends come around for coffee, drinks or a dinner party, and file away neatly to clear the area afterwards.

FAQ’s:
How do you choose the right size coffee table?
Assess where your coffee table will be positioned and go as large as the area permits. If the space is tight, consider a smaller table or nesting tables to prevent over-cluttering. Try out Imagine© (Mocka’s new augmented reality tool) to visualise the living room furniture you like in your space.
