Why Choose an Oval Coffee Table?

Coffee tables come in a variety of different shapes, including square, rectangular, circular and more. If you're trying to decide which shape is best for your purposes, here are some top reasons why oval may be a good choice:

• It lends a more interesting visual impact than more common coffee table shapes.
• It is easy to pair with your favorite rectangular area rug.
• It tends to be a better choice for smaller rooms as it opens up the available space.
• It still offers plenty of tabletop space to accommodate anything you may need to set down.

Table Styles

One of the best things about oval coffee tables is that they are available in so many different styles, making it easy to find one that works with your design needs and goals. The three main styles you'll find among our selection are:

• Modern: Featuring clean lines and minimalist designs that allow the materials to shine, our modern coffee tables will bring chic simplicity into your home.
• Mid-Century: Add a touch of retro style to your living room with the tailored look of a mid-century modern coffee table. It will make a fantastic complement to a mid-century modern sofa.
• Traditional: For a more classic and timeless appeal, choose one of our traditional style coffee tables. It is an easy way to enhance the elegance of a space.

Table Materials

The materials a coffee table is crafted of can also have a large impact on its overall look and style. When shopping for a new table, the main materials you'll have to choose from are:

• Wood: A versatile material that works well in a variety of styles, solid and composite wood is used heavily throughout many of our table designs.
• Marble: Marble lends a luxurious and sophisticated look, especially when used in the tabletop. It features natural variations that ensure no two pieces are alike.
• Glass: Always a perfect choice for an elegant and traditional style, a glass table is easy to accessorize with decorative objects that are also made out of glass.
• Steel: Often used in the frame or the legs, steel tends to have a modern and structural look.
• Brass: Brass detailing is always a great way to bring an extra bit of glam into the design of a coffee table.

Storage and Shelving

While oval coffee tables have nice, spacious tabletops, some designs also come with additional storage options that make it easier to keep your living room tidy and organized. These options include:

• An extra shelf: Many of our tables feature one extra shelf underneath the tabletop where you can keep items like remotes and magazines.
• Terraced design: A sophisticated terraced design offers two extra shelves on which to keep your everyday necessities. It's a great way to enhance storage without sacrificing style.
• Inner storage: To keep odds, ends and accessories out of sight, choose a coffee table with top doors that lift to reveal an inner storage compartment.

An oval table can look right at home in any living room as long as you take the time to consider its style, materials and storage options. The selection of oval coffee tables available at west elm is sure to have just the piece you need to complete your living room design.
