Coffee tables under 200 francs that will upgrade your living room

Side tables are one of the pick-me-ups among furniture. They give a room a fresh look without you having to completely remodel it.

When a new season starts, I'm overcome by the inexplicable feeling that things like my organisation system or my furnishings need to be new too. Basically, there's nothing wrong with a breath of fresh air at home. Except perhaps budget, time and the fact that I already like most of it. So before I discard everything in favour of a pipe dream, I simply decide to make a small change. How do I manage that? With plenty of decorations such as seasonal flowers and small pieces of furniture like coffee tables. They don't cost the earth, don't take up too much space and are well received. So well, in fact, that a guest once tried to steal my current golden decorative table. Looking at the new models in our range, I'm now ready to give it away to make room for something new. Here are my top ten favourites.

1. "Tray" from Bloomingville

This gold lacquered aluminium table is something for magpies. It shines like a piece of jewellery in the living room and can be used in a variety of ways. In keeping with the 2-in-1 principle, you can detach the tray from the frame and transport it. Also available in silver and with different colours for the shelf.

2. "Cupid" from Zuiver

The "Cupid" coffee table is a perfect match for minimalists. It consists of a powder-coated metal frame, a tinted glass surface and impresses with its simple elegance for a modern living style. It is available in two different sizes and in striking copper with mirrored glass.

3. "Luggage" from Dutchbone

"I'm packing my suitcase... and stay at home!". Travelling on four legs with "Luggage" is not so good. As the name suggests, this coffee table consists of a used-look leather suitcase and an iron frame. In addition to its appearance, it also has a special feature: you can open it up and put things in it or stow them away. It is best suited to industrial or mid-century living styles with other vintage objects.

4. "Akola" from Wohnling

"Akola" comes with corners and edges. Shaped like an "S", it does not stand on four legs, but on a metal base. The surfaces are made of solid wood. They refine the table and make it perfect for industrial chic or shape-loving pursuits.

5th "Damien" from Wireworks

Another clever model: here you have a serving tray and table in one. Whether round, square or in natural, black or white - Damien is available for every taste. It goes particularly well with Nordic-style living rooms and can also be useful in the bedroom for breakfast in bed.

6. "Room" from House Doctor

A storage space miracle is welcome in any small flat. "Room" accommodates your favourite book, teacup and magazines at the same time. It is an all-rounder in the bedroom, living room or entrance area. Made entirely of steel, it also focuses on purism in terms of colour: its green shade can look particularly beautiful together with earth or grey tones.

7. "Floss" from Zuiver

This aluminium table is less functional but more extravagant, with room for just a vase or a book. It is suitable as an addition to a reading corner or enhances a room corner as an object. It is available in three understated colours: black, white and grey, all of which suit modern or purist living styles.

8th "Copenhagen" from Rivièra Maison

In white and gold, "Copenhagen" exudes glamour. Whether combined with a seating group or as a stand-alone piece, the coffee table can make a statement with its reflective surface and soft shape.

9th "Craft Drum" from Dutchbone

Coffee tables rarely come with a pattern. This model is different: in keeping with the boho style, it is decorated with white and floral ornaments. The fact that it has a lid and hollow space also makes it smart. The cushion and blanket can be whisked away in an instant when not in use.

10. "Hide and Seek" from Zuiver

This table is a small everyday hero that hides less attractive items such as a remote control. It is perfect for lovers of Scandinavian living style and is also available in dark grey.
