From wood
Perhaps this is the most common option, it looks absolutely organic in any interior, except for high-tech.
You just need to choose the right shade, harmoniously looking with the rest of the furniture installed in the room.
It would not be superfluous if the design of the coffee table is made in the same style as the rest of the furniture.
From glass
If you want to decorate the room in a more modern style, you will need a glass coffee table.
This design looks airy and weightless, largely due to the transparency of the material.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the legs of the table will be of glass, there may be very different material, it all depends entirely on your imagination.
Of metal
The material is not the easiest to process, so it is not surprising that such tables are the most expensive.
In addition, they weigh a lot, so moving them is not so easy. However, they are very durable and do not be afraid of mechanical damage.
Coffee table in the interior: style varieties
Before the start of the repair, carefully study the interior design catalogs, and if there is a coffee table there, then according to different styles one can understand that such a simple object can differ not only in material, but also in design, purpose and decor elements.
Classical

Provence

For example, for a spacious living room it is better to choose a massive artificially aged coffee table, and in a small room a model with several tiers is better suited.
Country music
Most of the premises of ethnic style (yes, country is also ethno) surprise people with unusual ideas, and besides this, the unconventional use of even the most familiar things.
For example, it can be either bamboo furniture or handmade mosaic of river shells.
Therefore, the coffee table in country style should be made in an unusual style, for example, from rough wood or simply from raw logs.
