10 coffee tables with storage

We love a neat, tidy space. But it’s always a case of ‘easier said than done’ when it comes to it. It’s natural for a lived in home to struggle with all those bits and bobs that end up piling up on the coffee table so why not maximise potential storage space within it.
With these gorgeous designs, you’re not only doubling up on extra storage but also making a design statement out of a living room staple. And whilst you might think of storage furniture as bulky and in need of clunky drawers, if you choose the right piece, it’s more about what you do with the surfaces you have.

Don’t forget to read our 10 sofa beds that look good in a living room!
1. Westcote Inky Blue, Cotswold & Co
As always, Cotswold & Co brings us a timeless style with a contemporary edge. The inky blue shade oozes character and echoes the Pantone Colour of the Year 2020 so this piece will make a nice statement without going out of style. Plus, you’ve got handy pull out drawers to hide living room paraphernalia all behind timeless cottage cup handles.
2. One Drawer Solid Pine, La Redoute
This design is about as classic as it gets when it comes to coffee tables with bonus storage. The elegant styling and cottage-style cup handles combine with timeless turned legs to bring you a piece that will last for generations and throughout trends. The lower shelf also maximises storage potential for either display or hidden boxes.
3. West Elm Anton, John Lewis
The Anton champions clean, minimal styling with a healthy dash of character. The unique grain of the mango wood is highlighted by a burnt was finish and there’s plenty of storage space in the singular jumbo drawer. Bonus, this product is made only from the trees that no longer produce fruit and is manufactured in a Fairtrade Certified facility so you can be sure you’re making a sound choice ethically.
4. Farmhouse Dove Grey, Cotswold & Co
If you’re after maximum space in a design then this is a superb option. The Farmhouse comes with its own whitewashed storage baskets and a beautifully subtle tone so as to not overwhelm the room but fit in nicely. You’ll be able to hide a plethora of bits and bobs in this one!
5. Vasagle rustic two drawer, Amazon
Welcome a bit of rustic charm in your living room with this refreshing combination of a metal and glass frame with cosy middle drawer. The design choice means you get more storage space and surfaces but a less clunky feel. It also makes a nice choice for displaying coffee table books and ornaments without being in the way.
6. Greenwich, M&S
Say hello to the epitome of country cottage decor. With a neutral cream colour and charming oak veneer top, it holds maximum storage space and looks right at home in a classic cosy living room. Bonus, it comes with a 10-year guarantee to make sure you’re protected for years to come and the Greenwich is made entirely from recycled and sustainable wood so kudos on the eco points!
7. Hipster Mango Wood three drawer, Maisons Du Monde
We have a serious soft spot for an apothecary-style coffee table like this one from Maisons du Monde and the softer mango wood finish makes it absolutely irresistible. With 3 full length drawers and castors on the base, you’re ticking off the practical box too. This design is sure to last for years and years to come.
8. Connelly, made.com
Whilst this design is a little more contemporary, we think it will make a superb focal point even in a more classic living room The smoked glass surfaces ensure that piece gives a distinguished feel. Plus, with 3 shelves, you have so much potential for working with book stacks, storage boxes and displays.
9. French style matt grey, eBay
We don’t often look to eBay for gorgeous furniture but they really do deliver to goods when it comes to coffee tables with storage. We love the French-style shape, elegant legs and drawer/storage shelf combo. The ring pull handles also add a little something for classic design for a small price.
10. Kingrack storage basket and tray, Amazon
Not all living rooms have space for a big old coffee table but you’ll still want storage space even in a compact area. This nifty little number from Amazon can slot in easily next to a sofa and combined a handy tray with an easy storage bucket below to collect all the bits and bobs that need a home. It also comes in 3 shades to match your decor and has a fantastic price point.
