"I wasn't planning on buying a coffee table but the deals are too good" - our editor picks his favorites
These editor-approved coffee tables are the easiest way to completely overhaul your living room - and these deals are too good to miss
I wasn't actually planning on buying a coffee table. On my shopping list is a rug, an outdoor dining table and a nightstand. But in looking for all of those I have come across so many amazing coffee table deals that I am powerless to resist.
Coffee tables are one of the fastest ways to refresh a living room. Usually the central focal point, their shape and form can change how all your other decor choices look and feel when placed around them. So in and among the furniture sales currently on offer, I think these are going to be hard to beat if you want to make an impact, quickly.
Coffee table trends right now lean towards irregular shapes, a soft palette of stone and woods and - usually - curved edges. This is my pick of the ones I'm currently hovering over to buy.
The perfect coffee table
This coffee table is so affordable and looks so much more expensive than its price tag. It was already a steal at $150 but with 25% off I think it's the best way to change how your space feels this Black Friday.
Its soft plaster finish has so much character and depth, while its rounded edges help to make rectangular rooms feel more elegant and convivial. I'd place this in the middle of my living room, curved sofa on one side, two accent chairs facing it. The matching end tables are a wonderful addition.

Not the biggest markdown, admittedly, but worth including because I've been seeing tables that look like this in homes designed by my favorites like Brigette Romanek and Olga Ashby. And their versions won't be anywhere near as affordable.

There's been a new wave of wavy furniture this year - designers like Sarah Sherman Samuel (more of her later) and Matilda Goad have used them to create elevated pieces. This Urban Outfitters version is just as smart - at a fraction of the price.

Polished wood continues to be my go-to for 2024 - I'm adding it into my home with a new nightstand and new bed. It's monastic and calming, and works well with linen, which is why it's perfect for a living room coffee table, too.
Price: $1118.60
Was: $1598

I am a huge fan of ridged surfaces and the way they catch the light differently throughout the day. The result is always a room that looks more curated and considered than one without them.
