White Coffee Tables

Styling a white coffee table offers a versatile backdrop for various looks. Create a focal point with a statement vase of flowers or a curated stack of books topped with a decorative object. A tray can corral smaller items like candles or coasters, adding visual interest and keeping the surface organised. Consider the contrast between the white table and other elements in the room. Woven baskets, metallic accents, or colourful books can add warmth and personality. For a minimalist approach, opt for a single, striking piece like a sculptural bowl or a large art book. Balance is key; avoid overcrowding the table, allowing negative space to enhance the overall aesthetic. Finally, consider the material of your coffee table; ceramic or marbled ceramic surfaces offer durability and a touch of elegance. For more information visit our blog post.

The ideal coffee table height should be roughly the same height as your sofa seat cushions, or slightly lower, typically between 40-43cm. For the width and depth, consider the size of your sofa and living room. A coffee table that's about two-thirds the length of your sofa creates a balanced look. In a larger living room, you might opt for a coffee table up to 120cm wide and 80cm deep, while a smaller space would suit something around 80cm wide and 60cm deep. Leave enough space around the coffee table for easy movement - ideally, allow 45-60cm between the coffee table and other furniture. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ.

A rug should complement your white coffee table, not clash with it. Generally, the rug should extend beyond the edges of the table, creating a visual frame. For a standard coffee table, aim for a rug that allows at least 30cm of rug space on each side. Larger rugs can anchor the seating area, while smaller rugs can highlight the coffee table as a focal point. Consider the shape of your coffee table too. A rectangular rug often pairs well with a rectangular or oval coffee table, while a square or round rug complements a square or round coffee table. Don't be afraid to experiment with different textures and patterns to add depth and visual interest.

Cleaning your white coffee table depends on the table's surface. For ceramic or marbled ceramic finishes, wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. Regularly dust with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface. For tables with wooden elements like legs or bases, dust regularly and clean with a wood-friendly cleaner following the product instructions. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
