Like fashion, interior design is no longer ruled by dominant trends, and today’s interior designers and home decorators prefer to mix styles to create unique spaces that transcend fads. What is no longer in style is a coffee table that perfectly matches your side tables or is too precious to set a drink down on. Your coffee table should be the last piece of furniture you choose for your living room, a finishing touch like a striking necklace or a bold tie that can pull the whole room together or elevate a neutral space with something stylish and eccentric. Depending on your taste and whatever else you have going on in your living room, that might mean a geometric coffee table made from mixed or unconventional materials, coffee table alternatives such as poufs and stools, or mid-century modern glass-and-wood coffee tables with sculptural shapes and vintage vibes.
