Mirrored Coffee Tables

Mirrored coffee tables beautifully reflect light and add a touch of glamour to your living room. To style one effectively, consider the size and shape of your table. For a smaller table, a simple vignette works well - perhaps a stack of books topped with a decorative object like a small sculpture or a vase with fresh flowers. On a larger table, create a balanced arrangement with a mix of heights and textures. Group items together on a tray or in a shallow bowl to avoid a cluttered look. Candles, decorative boxes, and interesting books can add personality. To enhance the reflective surface, incorporate metallic or glass accents. Remember to leave some negative space so the mirrored surface can shine. For a sophisticated look, choose a colour scheme that complements your existing decor, such as neutral tones with metallic accents, or incorporate pops of colour for a more vibrant feel.

A mirrored coffee table should ideally be around the same height as your sofa seat cushions or slightly lower, typically between 40-43cm. For length, aim for about two-thirds the length of your sofa, falling within the 80-120cm range. Depth-wise, 60-80cm allows for practical use without overwhelming the space. Consider the size of your living room too - a smaller room might suit a smaller table (around 80cm wide), while a larger space can accommodate a larger piece (up to 120cm). Leave enough space around the table for comfortable movement - at least 45cm between the table and sofa, and between the table and other furniture. Always check the product's page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

A rug can beautifully complement a mirrored coffee table, enhancing its reflective qualities and adding warmth to the space. The ideal rug size depends on the table's dimensions and the surrounding furniture. For a standard coffee table, choose a rug large enough so that the front legs of your sofa or armchairs can rest comfortably on it, creating a cohesive seating area. This typically means the rug should extend beyond the edges of the coffee table by at least 30-45cm. If you have a smaller space or a round coffee table, you can opt for a smaller rug, but ensure it's still proportionate to the table. A rug that's too small can make the room feel disjointed. Consider texture and colour to create contrast or harmony - a plush rug can soften the look of the mirrored surface, while a patterned rug adds visual interest.

Keep your mirrored coffee table sparkling by regularly dusting it with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For fingerprints or smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with a mild detergent solution or just warm water and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the mirrored surface. Dry the table immediately with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent watermarks. Be mindful of placing hot or wet items directly on the surface, as this can also cause damage. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
