I’m a sucker for a round coffee table! In today’s roundup, I’ve pulled together 12 of my favorite round coffee tables in a range of styles and price points. From timeless wood finishes to sculptural stone, these pieces feel grounded and elevated at the same time. I kept things practical, too. These are tables you can actually live with, whether you’re setting down a coffee mug, styling a vignette, hosting an impromptu game night, or just want your kids to have fun without you having to worry about stitches.
Why I Love Round Coffee Tables:
Before we dive into the picks, here’s why I keep coming back to round tables when designing a space:
They soften sharp angles. Most rooms are full of straight lines: sofas, rugs, fireplaces. A round table introduces gentle curves that instantly make a room feel more dynamic and relaxed.
They improve traffic flow. No corners to bump into = a win for kids, pets, and general livability.
They play well with sectionals. If you have a sectional, a round coffee table makes navigating the space feel easier and more natural.
They anchor a space beautifully. A good round table draws the eye inward and helps center the room, especially when layered over a textured rug.
Tips for Choosing the Right One:
Size matters. Leave at least 12–18 inches between your coffee table and the edge of your seating. Most round coffee tables range from 30" to 48" in diameter—choose based on the scale of your room and sofa.
Height check. Your coffee table should be roughly the same height as the seat of your sofa (or 1–2 inches lower).
Style match. Look for materials that complement your other furniture—wood tones that echo your floors, or metal finishes that tie in with light fixtures.
The Roundup:
Here’s a curated mix of 12 round coffee tables I’d use in a heartbeat. I included options under $300, under $800, large ottomans, and a few investment pieces that make a stunning statement.
Styling Idea:
Once you’ve picked your table, don’t forget to style it! A simple formula I love:
A stack of 2-3 coffee table books
A sculptural object or bowl
A candle or small vase with fresh greenery
It doesn’t take much, just a few intentional layers to bring the table to life.
