7. Black Coffee Table

This isn’t just any old black coffee table! It features three different levels which make it more interesting than a regular flat surface! 

A black coffee table will bring great contrast if your room is fairly light!

8. Gold Glass

If you want your room to exude luxury and class, go for a coffee table that has gold accents and a glass top!

9. Small Coffee Table

If you’re low on space, this intriguing coffee table will fit right in! With two levels, it provides convenience and style!

10. Classic Wood

Once again, old trends come back! I would consider this square table a classic since practically all of my relatives had one similar to this!

However, this is a particularly modern take on a classic, the clean lines and shape give it a modern touch, while the wood provides character!

11. Coffee Table Perfect for Japandi Spaces

This table would look perfect in a Japandi living room! With its light wood and soft edges, this table doesn’t require much decor since it has plenty of character on its own!

12. Raw Wood

Another popular trend I’ve been enjoying is the raw wood with all of its lines and holes! This is a great way to bring a natural element into your home!

13. Interesting Shapes

When looking for a coffee table that’s going to stand out, don’t look for everyday shapes! Search for a coffee table that catches the eye from the color to the material and shape!

14. A Set of Tables

If you want to make your space more dynamic, don’t choose one big coffee table, but go for a set of smaller coffee tables!

These marble coffee tables are all different heights and if you want to take it even further, go for tables that differ in height and size!

15. Round Stone

This is also a favorite of mine since it’s not often that you see stone in such a soft yet uniform manner!

It’s such a heavy and harsh material, but you can soften it up with shape and softer decor!

16. Reflective Surface

If you want to give your space more character and make it pop, go for a coffee table that has a reflective surface!

This is another old trend that came back, only better!

17. Jagged Stone or Marble

This one is such a beautiful piece, it makes the material look natural like you just went out and excavated it from the mountains!

However, if you have a small kid, I fear this one might not be for you!

18. Adjustable Coffee Table

This coffee table allows you to turn the top part around and make it suit your living space!

19. Intricate Details

Look for a coffee table that has intricate details if you want your modern living room to have character!

The details usually include intricate carvings on the table itself!

20. Skinny Coffee Table

The recent trends all include chunky and big coffee tables that can block your space and that doesn’t make for a good flow of the room!

Instead, go for a skinny coffee table that will make your living room seem more open!

21. Dark Glass

Glass will always be a staple and it will never go out of style, but it seems like every other glass table is the same!

Spruce up your living room by going for colored glass instead of regular glass!

22. Square Marble

This coffee table is guaranteed to give your living room new life and make it more modern and sophisticated!

23. Mother and Child

Give your space layers and dynamics by going for the same coffee table, only in different sizes!

24. Hidden Storage

Modern coffee tables can also be practical! Apart from the style that they hold, they can also hold your things!

Go for a coffee table that has storage that you’re able to hide or strategically decorate!

25. Minimal Decor

Lastly, when you find the perfect modern coffee table, it should speak for itself! You won’t have to over-clutter and over-decorate it to make it look interesting and stylish!
