The 11 Best Coffee Tables With Storage That Look Good While Hiding All Your Junk

Oh boy, are we swooning for this ultra-functional coffee table with storage for small spaces. For one thing, we love the chic combo of marble, wood, and grey linen, accented by brass-colored finishes.

For another, this coffee table might not take up a ton of floor space, but three grey ottomans neatly tuck beneath it so you can use it as a dining space as needed. Even better, the solid slate with marble texture that’s used for the top won’t get scratched up or discolored making it a great spot to use for writing or resting a happy hour cocktail or mocktail.

And did we mention that you can extend the top to about 6 inches taller than when it's embedded into its base if you need a higher surface for streaming TV shows or taking Zoom calls from your laptop? Well, it does that too, and you can use the interior space above the marble surface to keep your belongings out of sight.

For fans of Scandinavian or Japandi design, this is our top pick from Wayfair. While it’s best suited for larger living room spaces, customers looking for a coffee table that both is a visual feast and also a functional workhorse for household items will love this model.

With plenty of room to display plants, mini sculptures, clocks, and more on the tabletop surfaces, the rectangular shape opens up to reveal several concealed storage vessels. Whether you use them to store away your laptop after the end of a long workday or hide your kids’ toys before guests come over, it certainly makes a statement.

What’s more, thanks to the space below the storage compartments, you can stack baskets, coffee table books, holiday decor, and whatever you desire under the coffee table too, to keep a cohesive look in your living environs.

While only suitable for larger spaces, this lovely coffee table is a boon for folks who have a lot of tchotchkes to conceal from view in their abode. Modern in design, it features four drawers and a pedestal base.

We recommend using the table-top to display, say, a fruit bowl or vase of flowers (or both!) and a picture frame or two and using the drawers—two on each side— to house bigger and less visually appealing objects.

To make this piece feel less contemporary and more homey, put a colorful fabric runner over the top of the coffee table such as this one on Amazon (from $24.99) from SnugLife.

There’s no shortage of thoughtful details to adore on this farmhouse-style rectangular coffee table that comes in two colorways: cream and brown or brown and black. Though it has a country look, the no-frills design could easily blend in with living spaces that lean more modern or antique.

In addition to having four drawers to organize books, remote controls, writing accessories, and other goods, you can also lift the top up by several inches to use for work or to stream entertainment from your laptop.

And, to move this coffee table, rest assured that it’s a breeze thanks to casters for wheeling around the room. To date, this coffee table has nearly 1,500 five-star ratings on Amazon.

Industrial design meets rustic flair in this handsome rectangular coffee table that features metal “X” designs on each end of the piece.

While this coffee table has no hidden compartments or drawers, a bottom shelf allows for open storage. Use it to display decor items, coffee table books, photo albums, chess boards, and more.

Or, buy some baskets that fit underneath the coffee table’s top surface and fill them up with odds and ends that you don’t want strewn about the living room floor.

Bonus: The wood-textured surface is made from durable laminate so even though this coffee table won’t break the bank, it should last for years to come.

For those seeking a circular coffee table that’s more in the ottoman category, this elegant find from Amazon is right after your tea party dreams.

A wooden lid lets you rest food, drinks, books, games, writing utensils and notebooks, and more, while the hidden storage space with a diameter of 19.5 inches will let you tuck away all those random items that you aren’t sure where to put in your living room or throughout your home.

Choose from light gray or dark gray colors, both accompanied by a blonde-colored wooden top that comes on and off in a cinch.

Some folks prefer the look of baskets to drawers when it comes to coffee tables with storage options. Especially appealing if you’re not grabbing items from the storage space daily—drawers can be quicker to open and grab what you need—we love the look of this trio of foldable cornhusk baskets lined up under the rectangular coffee table. (The baskets each have the dimensions of 16 x 11 x 7 inches when open.)

In fact, you may just want to buy Winsome’s Morris Side Table with 2 Foldable Baskets ($120.44) to complete your living room storage-meets-surface area set. While this coffee table only comes in Espresso brown, if that matches your living room decor and you’re on the hunt for a coffee table with baskets, we say go for it.

Looking for a coffee table that doubles for you as a home office? We love this affordable pick from Amazon that lets you adjust the tabletop for when you’re doing computer work.

Plus, this coffee table with embedded storage even has a hidden compartment under the top to store writing utensils, books, chess boards…whatever your pack rat heart desires.

Available in Brown or Espresso with black legs for either, it’s not the most visually stunning coffee table on earth, but it certainly is functional thanks to two drawers, a bottom shelf, a hidden interior storage space and the pop-up desk. Bottom line: For those who live in small spaces, this versatile coffee table is a winner.

No hardware, no problems! If you’re looking to splurge, this hardware-free design from modern, direct-to-consumer furniture company Sundays delivers.

This spacious piece has two open shelves to hold frequently used MVPS (like remotes, books, and iPads/Kindles) and then two push-open drawers to keep apartment sprawl tidy.

Those who are on the klutzy side and/or have little ones will appreciate savvy design decisions such as rounded corners, protective finish to keep scratches and stains to a minimum, and glides on the feet to protect the floor. There are also several inches of clearance at the foot of the table so vacuuming or sweeping isn’t an acrobatic endeavor.

Ready to crank out work from your couch or eat dinner in front of your favorite show (shhh)? We love this multipurpose coffee table in studio apartments or tighter spaces without room for a proper home office or dining nook.

This piece comes in a soft white or black finish and is made from painted MDF that’s built to last. In addition to the pop-out top, you’ll have ample space in the concealed storage area below your dining or desk surface.

Yes, it’s not the biggest bargain, but for something this elegant and practical, it’s worth the investment, dear readers.

Don’t have a ton of things you need to store in your coffee table but still want the option to stow away, say, a few board games and books? This gorgeous table from Levity with one shelf and crisp, clean lines throughout is a jewel.

Along with a minimalist design we adore, we’re giving the extra-durable “life-proof coating” two thumbs up as it protects the table’s wood grain from water rings, scratches, and general wear. Keeping practicality top of mind, it’s also worth highlighting that Levin Levity designed the shelf height to allow for fuss-free vacuuming beneath it.

And lest we forget, setup is a breeze and takes only around 10-minutes to erect with easy step-by-step instructions. Choose from two finishes and a rectangular or round shape, and pair this piece with The Scandinavian Side Table ($159) and The Scandinavian Lounge Chair ($499; with so many fun cushion colors and designs available!), if you’re looking to complete your living room furniture set.
