The coffee table….always a topic of conversation. It’s a piece noticed by all your guests and a major focal point of a room. It might be your most-used piece, next to your sofa, in your living rooms. You want them to be functional and durable but you want them to make a statement, right? I finally found a perfect solution for a coffee table in my living room but now I’m searching for that perfect one to put in my family room. So here I am on the hunt and decided you would all probably LOVE to join me on the hunt as I look at the most popular coffee tables trending right now and where to find them. Let’s go!
Ok, here’s one of my very favorites…

This Balustrade Salvaged Wood Coffee Table is an extremely popular coffee table from Restoration Hardware. My best friend bought this for her home and when I went to visit I had major heart eye as I walked in and saw it. However, it starts at $1,825. I’m not saying it’s not worth it. But it is a little a lot out of my price range for a coffee table. Mostly because I change things in my home ALL the time. If I knew I could love it for 10 years and keep it around, we might be having a different conversation. Wayfair also sells the EXACT coffee table HERE at about same price but they offer free shipping on their Baluster coffee table and you can get it in less than a week.
I also found this Uttermost Stratford Coffee Table from Wayfair for only $899.00 and I think I’m in love. Mostly with the price but it’s gorgeous too! Its chunky turned legs are a little bit different from the ones above but that price difference is fabulous!
If you’re looking for something a little more contemporary with strong lines but still want the wood element, this Coffee Table from Wayfair is a beautiful choice!
Here’s another like it that I love and have seen in many rooms. The Varick Gallery Lexington Coffee Table is also a very popular and extremely affordable choice.
I’m really loving the trend of marble throughout the home right now. I especially love it on a coffee table so this Isabelle Table by Donny Osmond is such a stunning option and I’m stunned at the low price.
However, if you’re really on a tight budget, may I suggest a similar look with this popular IKEA Vittsjö Nesting Tables Hack that I actually did for my living room!

These Vittsjö Nesting Tables come from IKEA and are ridiculously affordable. They come in black or white but it doesn’t matter which you buy because they’re getting a fancy makeover anyway. They look like this:
Here are the VERY SIMPLE DIY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put all metal legs together, per instructions.
2. Spray with gold spray paint of your choice but I prefer THIS one because it is not brassy or coppery. It’s the perfect gold. It’s my favorite and I use it on all my projects needing gold.
3. After completely dry, add glass to tops.
4. Adhere marble-looking self-adhesive contact paper to the white shelf.
So here is my coffee table. Easiest thing ever and I love it! I did the same to some bookshelves in my office which I’ll be posting soon.
As far as a gorgeous, traditional coffee table goes, my heart still goes pitter-patter for this Dresden Mirrored Coffee Table. I think the price is right AND it’s actually on sale right now for Labor Day.
So, there are a few options to get your wheels turning. These most popular coffee tables are very versatile and functional while making a statement as well. I think I know which one I’m going to go with for my family room so stay tuned and find out! I’ll be sharing my Family Room Reveal soon!
Summer, your Ikea hack is INCREDIBLE!! You really did an unbelievable job! I love this post and I’m totally in love with the marble trend too – just wishI had some room for it in my house somewhere!
Tamara, thank you soooo much!!! That means a lot! My favorite marble and gold table is like $5000 so that won’t be happening LOL! But there are so many other great choices out there! Xoxo!
Hi Summer,
I wanted to come and check out your latest blog…I hadn’t even thought about buying a coffee table, but your ideas were so interesting and well-researched that now I am like, I think I need a new coffee table!!!! I loved all your ideas and I pinned a few. When I actually am ready to buy a new coffee table (hopefully in the not too distant future) I know where to come for awesome advice!! Thanks!

Hi Jodie! Oh good, I’m so glad this was helpful! I’ve always wanted to build my own but I’m just short on time so I think I might be choosing one of these and I’m definitely favoring one. So glad you stopped by! {{Hugs}}💕💕
Summer fantastic job on the ikea hack! Turned out incredible
Thank you, Mysha! It was a fun one! ☺️💕😘
Love your coffee table, can I ask where you got the marble paper, thanks
Hi Liz! Thank you so much! Just click on the picture of the marble paper and it will take you to the exact store. Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi, could you please share where you got the rug that’s used under the table? I have been trying to find something white like that. Thanks!!
Hi Dianne! Yes, if you scroll to the bottom of the post where it says “Shop The Post” and has all those pictures, click on the right arrow button and scroll until you see the picture of the rug and you can click on it and it will take you to the source. Thanks so much! I really love the rug and am so happy with the quality!
Hi Diane! It’s up there in the “shop the post”. Just click on the arrow buttons and you’ll see it. It’s a great rug! Thanks!! ☺️
Hi Summer, thanks for the great post. I wanted to follow up on how well your Ikea coffee table has held up?
I sprayed painted a similar table from Target, however, the paint simply peels off with a simple glide of my nail (can’t imagine people sliding something off of it)
I lightly sanded and even primed my coffee table (twice) prior to spraying it gold, but still same problem. 🙁
So you have this problem?
Thank you
Hi Marlen! I’m so glad you enjoyed this post! Oh no, i’m sorry to hear you had that problem. No, I have not had any and problems with the IKEA table. I have been so pleased with it and it has held up very well. I have 2 kids who put stuff on it all the time and it looks exactly like it did the day I finished it. And I’ve sprayed and wipes the metal at the same time I’ve cleaned the glass and it looks perfect! I highly recommend the IKEA one if you want to switch and try it again. Good luck and let me know how it goes! Glad you stopped by! 😘
