Art Deco Living Room Coffee Table Ideas

Count the circles. Not one of these eight living rooms photographs a round coffee table. They use an acacia rectangle twice, a matte black oval, a white marble square, a nesting pair, and long tables between forty-eight and sixty-four inches. Then scroll down to the shop band, where eight of the fifteen art deco coffee tables are round. That gap between what gets photographed and what gets sold is the most useful thing on this page.

Art deco living room coffee table ideas, sorted by shape

In this style shape matters before finish. Deco loved two geometries, the circle and the stepped rectangle, and each does something different to a seating group. A rectangle repeats the sofa. A circle interrupts it and turns the room toward conversation. Pick the shape for the way you sit, then worry about gold or stone. The wider art deco living room ideas make the same argument about the sofa itself.

Rectangles that follow the sofa

The fifty inch acacia rectangle appears in front of a walnut-framed Seville by Noir and again before a 109 inch beige modular. A sixty-four inch two-tier oak table runs parallel to a long media console. A forty-eight inch Bowen cocktail table sits ahead of an 83 inch beige sofa. In every case the table copies the longest line in the room and lets the period arrive through a chair or a frame. It is the calm choice, and most modern coffee tables in the catalog are built for it.

Art deco living room coffee table pictures with an oval

The Eclipse oval in matte black sits in front of a light grey shearling sofa, a white upholstered chair to one side. An oval is a rectangle that has given up its corners, which matters in a narrow room where shins find every edge. In black against pale upholstery it reads almost graphic, a single dark lozenge on the rug. The broader art deco coffee table ideas go further into glass and stone.

The round tables in the shop band

The round pieces run from thirty-two to forty inches: hammered gold aluminium, a cast sphere in antique brass, burl ringed in brass, black and gold iron with glass shelves, oak on antique gold columns, white marble in a brass frame, black concrete, gold and glass on acrylic legs. A circle belongs where chairs face the sofa and close the group. The oat modular room, with a leather tub chair and a rounded green lounge chair, is the one I would give a round table. Every room in the Dark Luxury Lookbook that uses chairs this way could take one.

Two small tables instead of one

Three rooms split the surface. White marble nesting tables sit before an eighty inch blue sofa. A thirty-two inch marble square joins the acacia rectangle. A fifty-four inch walnut table with an open shelf partners a fifteen inch zinc sculptural table beside a cognac leather chair. Splitting the table is very Deco, all stepped levels and layered planes, and it lets you pull one piece to a chair. Pieces like these sit across our art deco living room furniture.

The mistake is a small circle before a long sofa

A thirty-six inch round in front of a 109 inch modular looks like an island, and anyone at either end has to stand to reach it. If the sofa is long and nothing faces it, buy the rectangle, or two rounds side by side. The general living room coffee table ideas cover the clearances.

An art deco living room coffee table gallery in gold and glass

The rectangular pieces in the band lean gold: four gold iron frames with glass tops between forty-seven and forty-eight inches, a walnut and gold glass table with a shelf, dark walnut acacia with brass. Glass keeps the rug visible by day. After dark the frame becomes the table, a thin gold line drawn on the floor, which suits luxury living room furniture that already carries some weight.

Burl is the one pattern

Two pieces use burl, a caramel geometric rectangle and a round ringed in brass. Burl is busy by nature, so if your art deco living room coffee table inspiration runs to it, keep the sofa plain and the accent chairs solid.

Choose the edge you want to see

Walk the room at night with one lamp lit. A round table catches light along its rim, a rectangle along its long front edge, an oval in one soft sweep. Before you order from these art deco living room coffee table photos, decide which of those lines you want to look at every evening.
