How to Style an Industrial Coffee Table

No matter what your interior design style is like, there’s something incredibly satisfying about an aesthetically styled coffee table. It adds visual appeal and lifts the overall look of any living area. If you love the industrial décor style, or want to explore it further, read our tips and ideas on how to style your industrial coffee table to perfection.

First things first, think about your room’s aesthetic

An industrial style coffee table often features raw materials like metal and wood, which can serve as a stunning focal point in your living space. To begin, consider the colour palette of your room; earthy tones and muted shades complement the ruggedness of industrial design beautifully.

Try to make sure your décor complements the overall design style of the room, although an industrial coffee or side table can fit well in industrial, modern, rustic, or even Scandinavian-style settings. At Furniture Bazaar, we have a range of industrial-style coffee tables to choose from.

Now to find your ideal industrial-style coffee table

Multifunctional furniture offers the perfect blend of functionality and style. It’s about more than just saving space; it’s about creating a living environment that adapts to your lifestyle. With just one piece of furniture, you can convert your office into a guestroom with a pull out sofa bed or extend your dining table to accommodate more guests. These are just a few examples of how adaptable modern furniture can be.

Next, add the finishing touches

Remember, styling is about expressing your personality, so let your creativity shine through while embracing the charm of an industrial coffee table! A couple things to keep in mind before you start styling:  

• Consider a focal point: A large vase, a unique sculpture, or a collection of greenery can create a focal point that draws the eye to the coffee table.  
• Balance softer elements: Use the table’s robust design to balance softer elements in the room, such as plush sofas or fluffy rugs. 
• Rule of three: Rely on the rule of three to group your items together.

Style your coffee table with…

Pot plants and flower vases

Use glass or ceramic flower vases to add a touch of elegance or potted succulents to bring in natural elements and balance the table's raw construction. 

A stylish lamp

Don’t forget about lighting! A stylish metallic lamp or some candles can cast a warm ambience over the industrial look of your room.

Trays and sculptures

Arrange your favourite decorative elements, like vintage trinkets or sculptural pieces, incorporate a functional tray to group items together and add texture to the surface. 

Coffee table books and art

Display a stack of books, magazines, or curated art pieces for a personalised and inviting touch.

A plush rug

Pair your table with a plush area rug to create warmth against hard surfaces.  

In conclusion: balance style with practicality!

While it’s always fun to experiment with styling, at the end of the day your coffee table still has a functional purpose. Remember to leave some space for coasters, odd items, and for your drinks or snacks when you’re watching TV or entertaining friends and family. Now you’re ready to go ahead and style your own industrial coffee table!
