Our shopping editor loves the glass-top coffee table trend - here are the 12 she's choosing from right now

Curved edges soften everything, and coffee table trends tend to favor rounded forms right now. With a mirror shelf, the piece can really take center stage, and the brass legs and frame add a touch of glamor. 

This Swanton glass top coffee table is a simple designed outdoor piece that can work inside just as well. It's boxy, but I like how simple its form is and would find it easy to style with books and candles. It's also just the right coffee table size to store magazines underneath, if you wish. 

More curved edges - my eye glides over this and I'm already planing what I could keep - neatly - on the shelf. Being completely transparent it doesn't intrude, so I think it would work well in a minimalist living room.

As you can tell, I am into the two-tier glass coffee table. It's so useful for extra storage. With a frame available in blackened bronze and brass, this simple structure has a mesh shelf for my stack of interior design books that are neatly hidden away yet on display.

This coffee table straddles the glass top trend with the nesting style and the results are super cute. The small table sits under the larger one, creating a handy shelf.

I like the Art Deco-style glimmer of gold holding up the glass top of this coffee table. This has a bit of a traditional feel to the frame so I'd pair with modern boucle armchairs and a jute rug to help calm it down.

A budget-friendly oval table with a fashionable feel - though I'd happily lose that figurine. A three-tiered design, this invites you to display a series of architectural objets - from vases or candlesticks  to indoor plants. The ideal base for playing arounf with coffee table decor. 

With a brass base, this glass-top coffee table is inspired by mid-century modern design. I like the sleek, wishbone-shaped antique-style frame that holds top - I can picture this next to rounder forms like a curved accent chair.

This oval-shaped coffee table has a distinct Art Deco look to it, almost like a bar cart. With antique brass finishing and a lower shelf to display your favorite decorative pieces, it makes a lovely stand-out piece for your home.

This frame is so slim and I'm impressed at how ubotrusive this is. I like monochrome designs generally, and this one creates a feeling of airiness around the slender legs. The Arvi 44-inch coffee table in clear glass has a black base made from powder-coated steel. It's available in black or gold.

I'm delighted to see the modern organic style trend for contemporary, fluid shapes has reached glass coffee tables, too. A contemporary glass-topped coffee table in an oversized circular silhouette complete with a versatile fixed lower shelf.

Remember when Mad Men was big and all we wanted to do was drink cocktails sat in Eames loungers? The aesthetic left a lasting impression on me, and this new take on the look is crying out for one of Don Draper's whisky sours to be left atop it. Especially smart with it's smoky glass.
