If you have limited space and could use more storage, then choose a coffee table that opens up to double as a small cabinet. Such tables are not only stylish, but also come in handy when you need to quickly clean up a mess.

Sometimes, the coffee tables themselves can be the star attraction. You really can't go wrong with an upholstered table that has a serving tray on it. Not only can it set the stage for the room, but the table itself can serve as additional seating or an ottoman, making it one of the most useful and flexible pieces of furniture you have in the room.

Your coffee table should blend seamlessly with your other home furnishings, as a general rule. So if your home is modern, look for ultra-chic coffee tables made of glass and iron. Such contemporary pieces are sharp and defined, and they make a limited space seem bigger (a big reason that they are often used in apartments). If your home is more traditional, then choose a table that is made of rich wood treated with either a light or deep stain, depending on the color of your existing pieces. Classic wooden coffee tables never go out of style.
