Complement a modern living space with a beautiful handmade concrete coffee table. Easily adaptable for a variety of interior design styles, modern concrete coffee tables can be designed to feel more industrial with the addition of steel legs or given a rustic look with the addition of wood accents. Pair your coffee table with a set of concrete end tables to complete the look. As you shop for a new coffee table, keep these popular concrete designs in mind:
- Industrial coffee table: A natural choice for an industrial coffee table, the concrete tabletop can be any shape or dimensions, and small shops on Etsy can customize a piece especially to fit your space.
- Waterfall coffee table: This design style includes a concrete coffee table top that flows over the edge and to the floor–acting as a support on that side. The table may have traditional legs on the other side, or the concrete surface may fall to the floor there, as well.
- Concrete base coffee table: An alternative to a concrete table top, these coffee tables include a concrete pedestal (often a rectangle or x-shaped) with a glass or wood top.
- Geometric concrete coffee table: Dial up the modern vibes of your concrete coffee table with an irregular shape like an exaggerated triangle, hexagon, or narrow oval. A rectangle or round cement coffee table can look amazing in the right space. However, you could consider a handmade hexagon or an isosceles triangle if you want a statement piece with impact if a round concrete coffee table isn’t your thing.
- Color and design: Concrete may be most familiar in shades of grey, but don’t be fooled— it comes in so many colors and designs. Maybe a marble effect or a cream terrazzo hits the ideal style note, or go with a white concrete coffee table for a simpler approach.
Once you’ve decided on a general style for your modern concrete coffee table, collaborate with an Etsy seller to add the finishing touches: custom finishes, coatings, and special design elements like terrazzo flakes, kintsugi veining, and marble-look glazes.
