Glass Coffee Tables

Glass-Top Coffee Tables

One of the easiest ways to open up your living room and give it more style at the same time is to incorporate a glass-top coffee table into your space. Since the glass is see-through, it visibly takes up less room than it seems, so your living space will appear open and inviting. Glass coffee tables are becoming more and more popular because of their innovative and versatile designs.

I’ve decided to feature a selection of ultra-chic, style forward glass-top coffee tables for you to marvel at!

Tribeca Glass Coffee TableAlphaville’s Noguchi-Style Tribeca Glass Coffee Table is simple in design – two base pieces and a glass top – but makes a dramatic statement. Its style is charmingly retro with its kidney shaped top and boomerang-styled legs. Choose between black, medium walnut, and oiled American walnut finishing, depending on the colour scheme in your living room.

Chrome Glass Coffee TableThe Karen Motion Glass Coffee Table is puzzling to look at – where does one surface start and another surface begin? If you’re all about intriguing design, this table is definitely a spectacle. Its unique free form shape and shiny chrome legs will catch your guest’s attention!

Oval Glass Coffee TableBlending different finished wood together in its base, Global Furniture USA’s Neville Oval Glass Coffee Table in Natural Finish is guaranteed to be the new focal point of your living room. This contemporary piece is a work of art in itself – mixing wood, glass, and metal together in the process. The Neville table is designed to make a statement in a living space.

Natural Wood Glass Top Coffee TableIdeal for media rooms, the Natural Wood Glass Top Coffee Table has a black metal base that resembles film strip. If you think it’s too much of a cliché to put this table in the movie room, it can easily fit into other areas of the home because of its simple design.

Glass Cocktail TableThe Grace Gothic Glass Cocktail Table has a subtle elegance with its espresso-hued wrought iron detailing in the base. Because it’s not too over-the-top in gothic style, it can easily go from a formal living room to the family room. But what about the little ones running into the table? Not to worry – the table features clipped corners for added safety.

Swivel Glass Coffee TableLooking for a coffee table that you can expand or contract? The Magnussen Modesto Swivel Cocktail Table has a unique swivel feature that allows you to push the lower tray underneath the upper tray just in case you need more – or less – table space.

Which coffee table is your favourite? I can’t decide – I love them all!
