South Beach Hamptons Cross Leg Coffee Table

A coffee table is a low table placed in front of a sofa or seating area. It provides a convenient surface for drinks, snacks, remote controls, magazines, books and decorative objects. Essentially, it ties together the seating area by keeping essentials within reach and adding a finishing touch to the living room.

Absolutely! While Style My Home is renowned for our Hamptons-inspired aesthetic, our coffee tables and side tables are designed with timeless versatility in mind—meaning they suit a wide range of home styles, not just Hamptons.

Our tables feature clean lines, quality materials, and classic silhouettes that effortlessly complement modern, coastal, farmhouse and even traditional interiors. Whether you're furnishing a sleek city apartment, a relaxed country cottage, or a coastal family home, our pieces are crafted to blend in—or stand out—as needed.

Choose classic, choose forever: Our philosophy is about investing in elegant, long-lasting furniture that won’t date. The subtle details and neutral finishes in our range make it easy to personalise your look with decor, rugs, and other furnishings unique to your space.

The best coffee table shape depends on the layout of your room, your furniture configuration, and who uses the space.

Rectangular coffee tables are the most popular and versatile—they suit most living rooms, especially those with standard 2- or 3-seater sofas. They provide generous surface area and work well with rectangular rugs or formal seating layouts.

Round coffee tables, however, are an increasingly popular choice—especially for families with young children. Their curved edges eliminate sharp corners, reducing the risk of bumps and bruises. They also improve flow and safety in compact spaces or high-traffic areas like open-plan lounges. If you have an L-shaped sofa, round tables work beautifully to soften the angles and create a more relaxed, inviting zone.

Square coffee tables can suit symmetrical or larger seating arrangements, while oval-shaped options offer the visual softness of a round table with the added length of a rectangle—making them ideal for narrow rooms with kids or pets moving around.

Ultimately, the best shape is the one that balances function, flow, and safety for your family’s needs while enhancing your space's overall proportions.

Not at all — your coffee and side tables don’t need to be identical to look stylish. While some customers prefer a matching set for a cohesive look, mixing different designs can add personality and depth to a room. The key is to ensure they complement each other through a common element such as colour, material, finish, or style. For example, a timber coffee table can pair beautifully with side tables in satin white if they share similar tones or design details.

Ultimately, whether you choose matching or coordinating pieces, both approaches can create a balanced and inviting living space.

Absolutely. Ottomans are a great alternative, especially in cosy or downsized homes.  They are great for eatra seating and kids. Just add a decorative tray to create a stable surface for serving or styling.

It depends on your needs. Coffee tables with drawers or shelves are great for hiding clutter like remotes, while simple designs offer a cleaner look if you have storage elsewhere.

Keep the tabletop functional yet decorative. Common items include a tray with a small plant or candle, a couple of coffee-table books, coasters for drinks, and a decorative object. The key is balance: you want enough items to look styled but not so much that it feels cluttered. A neat arrangement enhances the inviting, coastal-chic atmosphere of the living room.

Many coffee tables are crafted from wood (solid or veneer) or combine glass tops with metal legs. Glass-and-metal tables offer a lighter, more modern feel, while wood tables (such as elm or reclaimed pine) bring warmth and texture. Your choice should complement your sofas and overall decor, for Hamptons style, a painted wood or a whitewashed finish often works beautifully.
