Alternatives to Coffee Tables
Coffee tables can bring style and functionality to a living room, but there are plenty of other options that can come in especially handy for small apartments and spaces. Here are some coffee table alternatives that you may want to consider.
Ottomans
- Pros: Ottomans provide great flexibility as they can be used in multiple ways. You can use them as a footrest, extra seating and of course, as a coffee table.

End Tables

Trunks
- Pros: Trunks provide plenty of storage and surface area for books, games and décor items.
