No living room is complete without a table, and a Japanese coffee table will give your space an elegant and refined feel. Usually designed to be lower than a regular coffee table so you can eat whilst sitting on the floor, Asian coffee tables are simple yet chic. The majority are made of wood for a hint of traditional culture, but that doesn’t mean they all have the same shape, and we’ve selected a few of the best down below.

The short and flat look of Asian coffee tables is particularly appealing to many people, and can easily fit into many rooms while providing a practical piece of furniture. If you've seen an Asian coffee table and would be interested in buying one for your home, there are some things you should consider in advance. Firstly, look at the different styles and designs which are out there to see which one would be the most suitable for you. Let's look in some further detail at what you could find.

What are the most attractive designs of Asian coffee tables?

Rounded black Asian table

A style of table which almost looks like it originated in Japan, it is coated in black lacquer and carries with it a very traditional and vintage look. The circular shape softens the appearance and tones down the dark black color. Similarly, there may be gold or silver detail painted onto the table top which helps to tone and contrast with the already dark item. The detailed wooden legs are sturdy, and there are two smaller matching tables which will fit neatly underneath the main larger one.

Rectangular walnut coffee table

This Asian coffee table is a simple design with a beautiful walnut finish. It is fairly low and so not suitable for sitting around and drinking coffee while sitting on chairs, although for those sitting on floor mats, it forms the ideal shape and boasts the perfect height. Because this design is so simple and contains just one type of walnut wood material throughout, it will match almost any existing furniture and décor in your home.

Wooden table with glass top

Asian wooden coffee tables with glass top are a good way to mix the bold wooden materials and colors with the lighter and transparent glass. Four squares of glass come together to create a large table top, while the frame of the table is made from a mixture of teak wood and rosewood. Curved legs confirm that this is indeed an Asian coffee table style, as it is one of the most common and authentic effects.

Curved bench

This piece of furniture can take the form of a bench for seating one or two people, or you can use it as a coffee table. The Asian design is also suitable for occasions such as weddings, particularly if multiple people are sitting down on floor mats and need something on which to rest their drinks and food. Four of these benches can create a square around the room, almost like a full dining table for everybody. Often with a shabby chic or distressed look, the bench is wooden and curved around at either end to create spiral legs.

Wooden Asian coffee table with gold finish top

With a wooden frame, either black or a natural brown look, this style of table boasts its gold finished table top, the most inviting place to have a cozy drink with your friends around. While you would have to look around for a while to get a bargain on a real gold table top, the gold finish which you will most often see provides a great alternative and maintains the authentic style. Detail such as flowers, swirls, birds, and lines can often be seen carefully engraved into the table top.
