Small Coffee Table - Compact & Stylish

Small Coffee Table — Perfect for Small Living Rooms

A small coffee table is the solution if you want the coziness of a coffee table but space is limited. Whether you have a studio, apartment, or a compact living room — a small coffee table brings function and style without cluttering the space. At Industrial Home, we custom-make small coffee tables in the material and dimensions that perfectly suit your living room.

What sizes are considered 'small'?

Coffee tables in the small category typically fall into these size categories:

• 60 × 60 cm — Square, compact. Ideal for a small seating area or an armchair with a coffee table.
• 70 × 70 cm — Slightly larger but still compact. Suitable for a two- or three-seater sofa.
• 80 × 80 cm — Square model that also works for larger sofas but doesn't take up too much space.
• 60 × 90 cm or 70 × 100 cm — Rectangular small variant. For those who prefer an elongated table but want to keep the width limited.
• Round, Ø 50–70 cm — A small round coffee table is particularly space-saving because there are no sharp corners; there is more walking space around it.

Rule of thumb: ensure at least 40–45 cm of free walking space around the coffee table. In a small space, a 60–70 cm wide table often feels most comfortable.

Types of small coffee tables

Small square coffee table

Square is symmetrical and calming. In a compact living room, a square table pairs well with a smaller sofa. You can walk around all four sides without bending or stepping over. Suitable materials include: solid oak, HPL concrete-look, black steel with a glass top.

Small round coffee table

A round coffee table has no corners, making it feel less bulky. In a small room, this provides extra breathing room. Round is also safer in households with small children — no sharp corners. See our round coffee table page for more information.

Set of two small coffee tables (side tables)

A smart solution for small spaces is a set of coffee tables that you can extend or stack as needed. A set of two small tables in different sizes or heights. You slide them together for maximum compactness and spread them out when you need them. Ideal if you sometimes need more or less table surface. This principle is also known as a side table set.

Small coffee table with storage

In small living rooms, storage space is golden. A small coffee table with a drawer or lower shelf offers a hidden storage spot for remote controls, magazines, or blankets. Our models with drawers come with a soft-close mechanism.

Materials

At Industrial Home, we make small coffee tables in the same premium materials as our large tables:

• Solid oak — Warm, strong, timeless. A small oak coffee table top, 4 or 5 cm thick, has a great look.
• Solid walnut — Dark, luxurious, distinctive. In a compact format, it doubles as a statement piece.
• HPL Concrete-look — Tough, modern, and lightweight. Scratch-resistant and easy to clean.
• Steel with glass or wood — Industrial steel frame combined with a glass or wooden top. Airy and modern.
• Marble-look — Ceramic or HPL in a marble look for a luxurious feel in a small space.

Small coffee table as a side table

A small coffee table also functions perfectly as a side table next to an armchair, reading nook, or small sofa. At the right height (45–55 cm), it is useful as a coffee table next to your favorite chair. This way, you make optimal use of every corner of your living room.
