Coffee or cocktail tables are always a challenge when designing a room. It's easy to go out and buy a matching set of coffee and end tables, but you will have a set of three things the same colour and design. Three is good in design but all the same is not! Mixing it up allows you to add variety in texture, scale and colour. The eye seek interest. Here's a little variety in coffee table options.
Glass or lucite
Sometimes you do not want a coffee table to dominate a room. Perhaps you have a small space between furniture pieces or you want to control the amount of weighted colour. Maybe you are not fond of wood tones or you have a colourful rug you want to show off. In all of these cases a lucite or glass coffee table fits the bill.

Organic shapes or the real thing can make an interesting conversation piece and serve as a coffee table. Large pieces of driftwood and a piece of tempered glass make a great do it yourself table.

Ominous artwork but great coffee table. The combination of organic wood and hard edged metal really works. The lucite end tables are insignificant when paired with it. Rethinking might be in order.
Trunks

Think trunks when you want interest and function. You can find great thrift store finds or buy new.

Upholstered
Sometimes you need a long, narrow coffee table but they are very difficult to find . Think outside the box and look for benches.
