As the weather cools and we all head inside for this cosy period of hibernation, there’s something particularly special about the simple wooden coffee table this season. The heart of our lounge spaces, the hub of family life, the centerpiece of a true Scandi living room – a solid wood coffee table is often the focal point we design our relaxation spaces around. 

Deciding which coffee table to choose can be a lengthy process, however, as we look to find that statement piece that will unify our furniture and create that perfect comforting feel in our home. From exploring different shapes and sizes to deliberating over wood finishes and customisations, the process isn’t always that simple, and Milola is ready to help. 

We’re sharing our top recommendations for elegant, beautiful solid wood coffee table options, designed to enhance your space and bring that traditional Scandi feel into your home this season. 

Particularly as we move into these cooler seasons, the introduction of wooden furniture into your space can help create that cosy rustic feel, designed to pair beautifully with traditional soft furnishings and seasonal decor. Becoming the perfect display space for stylish coffee table books, seasonal ornaments, family photographs and comforting candles, the wooden coffee table offers a neutral and stable backdrop for your favourite decor pieces.

Our collection of elegant wooden coffee tables at Milola offers a number of different design choices and combinations, with square, rectangular and circular designs delivering a broad selection – designed to perfectly suit your space. From the traditional AMELIA to the versatile MEET, there are so many designs to explore for your living space this season. 

Traditional, elegant and impactful, a rectangular wooden coffee table is a staple of a beautiful home. Whether constructed from a rich ash or a light oak, this timeless design is essential for a stylish living space, providing natural support, structure and easy symmetry to any bespoke seating arrangement. 

Creating a natural guide for your additional furniture pieces to follow, the rectangular coffee table offers easy reach from all sofas, armchairs and accent chairs, and can be easily placed on a rectangular rug without overlapping the edges or sides.

By contrast, a round wooden coffee table creates an entirely different statement all on its own. With a smooth, circular tabletop comes the idea of equality; it feels inclusive, connected and dynamic. The lack of hard, sharp corners makes it a wonderfully child-friendly piece to have in the home, and creates a feeling of softness, comfort and safety – something particularly beneficial in family spaces and hosting areas. 

Round wooden coffee tables also invite a sense of playfulness, as the legs, or leg, can be modified, customised and enhanced to add an artistic flair or additional design feature to the standard coffee table. From retro-inspired tables with ribbed single-column legs, such as the  VELVET from Kristensen Kristensen, to the stylish and contemporary curved legs of the SYDNEY coffee table, it’s clear there’s room for creativity to take hold. 

Whether you refer to them as stacking, overlapping or nesting, the concept of  small wooden coffee tables framing each other is one that has rapidly grown in popularity over the last few years. Providing effortless style, regardless of the shape or size of the coffee tables themselves, the nesting approach is an elegant and contemporary way to layout your lounge space. 

With the two, or often three, tables of varying sizes, you have a lot more room to embrace personal styling and positioning, as well as re-organisation according to the occasion – stacking your tables when you need the extra space or spreading them out to support extra numbers of guests. 

For families with young children, being able to easily create additional space in your living room allows for more play space, room for toys, picnics and games, without needing to move heavy furniture items across the floor.  Small wooden coffee tables can also create spaces of minimalist design, following the modern Scandi themes of light, stripped-back interiors with plenty of exposed natural wood. 

Whether you’re searching for a traditional rectangular wooden coffee table or a solid wood circular frame, here at Milola, our collection is vast, versatile and available for customisation. We can help you source your dream solid wood coffee table and offer as many customisations as you need for it to fit perfectly into your home.
