Oval coffee tables are the ideal-shaped coffee table for most living rooms. Why? Because the elongated shape allows for maximum space to position your tea, cake and magazines, while the rounded corners take up minimal room and prevent you from hitting your leg off the corner every single time you get up. They are pretty toddler friendly, too.
We've scrolled through so many unique coffee tables to select the best oval designs for any style of living room. From hard wood to concrete and from glass to rattan, check out our edit of the best oval designs and complete your space the right way.

This elongated oval coffee table is a tactile delight. With a large marble-effect table top for instant elegance, a shelf beneath crafted from natural hemp rope, and strong matt black legs, we challenge you to find a coffee table with as many on trend textures as this one.

This table top is made of concrete, making it a solid, hard-wearing and long-lasting investment piece of furniture. Concrete is so on trend at the moment – we've seen it on kitchen floors and living room walls, but a coffee table is a much easier and more affordable way to use the material in your home. We love the angular design of the acacia wood legs too, ensuring the coffee table will look good for years to come.

This coffee table is made from manufactured wood, making it light to carry and light on your wallet. The grey wood tones of the ash brown design seen here make for a rustic look and the black metal frame brings those ever-popular industrial vibes. You can get it in white or rustic brown too. The oval-shaped top allows you to have maximum space for fitting everyone's coffee and cookies, but the cleverly designed rectangular bottom means that it takes up minimal floor space in your room.

Do oval coffee tables save space?
Oval, or indeed round coffee tables are a practical solution for any living room, as the lack of corners makes it easier to move around the space. This can be helpful for any living room, but is especially worth keeping in mind if you've got little ones running round. If saving space is a priority, you should consider a two in one design, such as a coffee table with storage, to really make the most of the space you have.
