Sure, there are also the coolest and most practical designs for the sofa nowadays. But sometimes you just want to break the tradition and where does it work best than in the furnishings? The coffee table is more than just a comfortable storage area in front of or next to the sofa. It is a piece of furniture and decoration at the same time and not only enhances the room functionally, but also purely optically. Imagine you come to your living room and find a cool alternative to the coffee table that becomes a highlight of the room! Or how about an eye -catcher on the terrace?
A suitcase for rustic or vintage flair
This alternative to the coffee table will definitely not be unnoticed. Placed in front of the sofa, theCase not only look beautiful, but can also serve wonderfully as a shelf. But of course you shouldn't take any suitcase. In any case, it should be an ancient model, because everything newer would look rather cheap and styleless. You can look at the flea market or in an antique shop or try your luck online. Make sure that the shell is firm so that you can easily park drinks without fear that the glass could fall over when the “table” was torn down the smallest.
The pouf can be used if necessary
You don't always have space for a separate, especially if you want to have one or the other additional seat in addition to the couch. Usually you use stools, but how about you if you insteadSelect the Pouf? It is not only comfortable for guests, but can also be used as a shelf in everyday life. It is only important that you choose a model that has a fixed top so that objects can be stable. Now you can always switch between the Pouf and coffee table as required.
The stool also works according to the same principle as the beanbag. They are usually quite small and therefore also space -saving, which is perfect for small rooms. If you are among yourself with your family, use the stool as an alternative to the coffee table. If you have a visit, it can be used for its actual purpose. And this smart manner will also look stylish and interesting, promised.
Of course, this trick does not only work indoors. Do you have a cozy oneOutdoor living room on the terraceEstablished, but do not want to be self -tatic, you can also convert the stool as a table here: sometimes put your feet up, sometimes put the book.
Boho flair with a basket
There are baskets in the form of chests that are particularly practical as an alternative to the coffee table, because they come with storage space. The surface can be somewhat uneven and objects with small soil (e.g. glasses) do not offer a particularly stable surface. But here you can take advantage of a simple trick: place either a board on the basket or even better a tray. Decorations can then also arrange on this and conveniently remove the chest using the tablet if necessary to open them.
Speaking of chest: How about a wooden chest?
A wooden chest, like the above -mentioned basket of storage space, offers plenty of charm to the room. They are available in various sizes and can be painted as desired and even decorated with beautiful patterns and motifs. If the wood is too bald, a tablecloth can also ensure a more homely look. Feel free to equip them with wheels to make them more mobile and to push them aside if necessary.

Tree trunk or disc for a piece of nature in the living room
You can also get rustic flair with a tree trunk that is without question to be one of the coffee table trends-both inside and outside. This can be as high or low and have a diameter of your choice. Variants with bark are particularly modern, but it must be ensured that it is also free of vermin - because you get onceWoodworms into the house, it is difficult to get rid of them. You can set up the tree trunk individually or in a group, with wheels or legs or not. Even handles could attach them to the sides to make change easier if it is necessary. Practical, right?
