Most living room furniture includes a coffee table, so why not pick one with dual functionality? Here are some of the many benefits of having hidden storage space in your home:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Maximize your space: Whether you live in a small space or have plenty of square footage, hidden storage helps you make the most of it.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Reduce clutter: It's hard to beat having designated spots to tuck away clutter, especially if they're kept out of sight or artfully displayed in open storage.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Improved aesthetics: A modern coffee table with storage makes it easy to enhance the aesthetics of styles ranging from minimalist to <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/maximalism-home-decor">maximalist interior decor</a> and beyond.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Better functionality: Sure, you could have a regular coffee table in your living space, but an option with storage drawers or shelves will always offer more functionality.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Enhanced privacy: Hidden storage is great for storing valuable or sensitive items, keeping them out of sight and safe from spilled drinks or other hazards.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Tips for choosing a storage coffee table</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/lift-top-storage-coffee-table-dark-charcoal-and-chrome"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-180415" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Aldine-Lift-Top-Storage-Coffee-Table-Dark-Charcoal-and-Chrome.jpg" alt="Aldine Lift Top Storage Coffee Table Dark Charcoal and Chrome" width="1200" height="793"></a> Buying new furniture is an investment, so you'll want to find the perfect piece for your home. Here are some of our favorite tips to help you make the right choice.
<h4>Measure your space</h4>
Before shopping, write down the measurements of the room you're decorating and the available space with any existing furniture. As you measure your space, note the shape of the room and current pieces. This can help you choose between a rectangular or oval coffee table and a round or square coffee table. Use the room measurements to determine what size coffee table would fit best. Keep at least 16" of space between your couch and coffee table for convenience and legroom. If you're adding all new furniture to a space, consider sketching the room on paper and <a href="https://www.centerforarchitecture.org/k-12/resources/redesign-your-room-with-a-floor-plan-and-furniture-to-scale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting out templates</a> to play with placement and styling.
<h4>Match furniture size and scale</h4>
Look at the rest of the furniture in your space and pick a living room table that matches the size and scale. For example, if everything you have is small and low to the floor, you'll want a sofa table with a similar low profile and space-saving footprint. On the other hand, if you have cocktail tables as your side tables and a large <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/best-modular-sectional">modular sectional</a>, you might want a more oversized coffee table to match.
<h4>Consider your storage needs</h4>
Think about how much storage you need and want from your coffee table. Do you want extra storage for small living room knick-knacks like remote controls and a few books or magazines? Or do you need a spot to tuck away blankets, extra throw pillows, and other larger items? This will also help you determine the size of your coffee table.
<h4>Harmonize with your existing style</h4>
Consider the existing interior decor style of your living room and any other areas visible from this area in your home. Then, choose a coffee table that harmonizes with it. For instance, if you can see your natural wood dining table from the living room, a natural wood coffee table with a similar finish could unify the decor between these two spaces. Likewise, if a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/breakfast-nook">breakfast nook</a> with matte black bar stools is visible, consider a coffee table with a matte black tabletop.
<h2>Enjoy practical perfection</h2>
<a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/furniture/lift-top-coffee-table-with-storage-cavities-grey"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-180417" style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/Cliffview-Lift-Top-Coffee-Table-with-Storage-Cavities-Grey.jpg" alt="Cliffview Lift Top Coffee Table with Storage Cavities Grey" width="1200" height="818"></a> A modern coffee table with storage and style is an amazing way to upgrade your space.
