Centre/Coffee Tables: Shapes & Magic

A centre table is more than a surface—it’s the soul of the living room. It anchors conversations, catches laughter, and quietly witnesses the swirl of everyday life. Whether round, oval, square or rectangular, each shape brings its own magic, setting the rhythm for the room’s design and energy.

Here’s how to choose the perfect piece that marries art and utility:

Centre Tables : Choosing the Right Shape

Round Tables

**.. Gentle curves invite movement and flow, perfect for spaces where conversations circle naturally.

**.. Ideal for avoiding sharp corners in rooms where children play or spaces feel tight.

**.. Common size: 3 feet diameter—a sweet spot between ample surface and easy circulation.

Oval Tables

**.. Graceful as a dance, oval tables combine the softness of curves with elongated elegance.

**.. Excellent in rooms where you crave spacious walkways yet desire a generous tabletop.

**.. Standard size: 3 x 2.5 feet—balanced and versatile.

Oval with Carving & Glass Top

**.. A marvel of craftsmanship, these tables become living sculptures.

**.. Intricate middle carvings glimmer beneath a glass top, adding layers of depth and light.

**.. Top surface: 3 x 2.5 feet; lower base typically 2.5 feet diameter, creating a tiered elegance.

Rectangular Tables

**.. Classic and commanding, rectangular tables define zones in larger rooms.

**.. Perfect for longer sofas or sectional arrangements.

**.. Standard size: 4 x 2.5 feet—generous yet harmonious in scale.

Square Tables

**.. Evoke symmetry and balance, ideal for creating cozy, intimate seating arrangements.

**.. A strong choice when you wish to echo architectural geometry.

**.. Common size: 3 x 3 feet—a bold presence without overwhelming space.

Coffee Tables: Everyday Elegance

Coffee tables are where comfort meets quiet ritual—morning books, evening cups, weekend flowers. Whether placed solo or layered with poufs and benches, their proportions speak volumes.

Round Coffee Tables

**.. Invite movement and ease in smaller settings

**.. Common size: 2 feet diameter—ample yet graceful

Rectangular Coffee Tables

**.. Offer structure and direction, best for sectional sofas

**.. Standard dimensions:  3 x 2 feet—a perfect companion to longer seaters

Square Coffee Tables

**.. Exude symmetry and balance, perfect for compact or modern spaces

**.. Often sized at 2 x 2 feet—making a bold yet elegant statement

Coffee tables may echo the design of centre tables but offer a lower height and more casual spirit—ideal for layering comfort with utility.

Magical Design Tips

Think of Flow: Round or oval tables keep energy moving gracefully, while square and rectangular tables offer grounding structure.

Play with Layers: Glass tops reveal artistry beneath—perfect for carved bases or inlaid patterns.

Mind Proportions: Allow 18–24 inches of clearance around your table for comfortable movement.

Style with Soul: Use your centre table as a stage for cherished books, floral arrangements, or sculptural objects that reflect your story.
