Coffee tables are integral to the décor of a living room and serve a very important function. And mirrored coffee tables, their more ornate versions, can add a touch of class and glamour to a setting. Having a reflective surface, they make the room around them appear larger and brighter, creating a sense of depth and spaciousness. And what’s more, they come in a wide variety of shapes, styles and sizes leaving you with a whole range of options to choose from.
Isn’t It A Bit Too Much?

You might have your reservations about making this rather extravagant looking piece of furniture a part of your décor at first. After all, you aren’t aiming for a grand Hollywood chic look. And although it might look stunning at a store display, bringing it home wouldn’t be your first instinct. But while your interiors at home may not be opulent or too ornate, you can still think of adopting a fusion of the sober and neutral with a single piece that is more on the extravagant side to create a look that is both modern and strikingly classy.
How To Make It Work?

What can help immensely is pairing your mirrored coffee table with a few other reflective surfaces in the living room, whether it’s a glossy artifact or a framed mirror on one of the walls. It’ll help create a setting where the coffee table doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb but blends in well with a décor with all the glossy pieces creating a curated look with their silvery tones.
Would Any Mirrored Table Do?

If you still aren’t convinced about a mirrored coffee table, you can opt for its modern alternatives which have a silvery sheen but are subtler and understated when it comes to their reflective surfaces. Also, a shiny surface reflecting its surroundings needn’t be the only thing that your coffee table stands out for. You can give it an extra oomph factor by going in for a table with geometric patterns which reflect light in much more spectacular ways and are way more stylish than their plain rectangular cousins.
What About Maintenance?

One important consideration before you head out to add this beautiful piece of furniture to your décor is your lifestyle and the number of people who are going to be using the living room. It wouldn’t be a great idea to invest in a mirrored coffee table if you have toddlers at home. Not only is the table fragile with a need to handle it with care, it is also important to keep it constantly free from dust and fingerprints. So, if you are someone who doesn’t like to invest loads of time in cleaning, then this table isn’t for you.
Will It Go With The Existing Décor?

Unlike what you might believe, a mirrored coffee table can work perfectly well with a wide range of styles right from a minimalistic décor all the way to Bohemian chic or even a décor with bold rustic touches. It is the finish that the coffee table has, that ultimately decides what style it will fit into. A shiny mirrored coffee table with a rustic wooden frame created out of distressed wood will work beautifully in an industrial style décor as it will in a farmhouse kind of a setting. And one with a futuristic design on the other hand, will blend in well in uber-chic minimalist settings.
Go Ahead, Try Something New!

If you’re looking for a décor that stands out from the mundane, then a mirrored coffee table is definitely worth trying. If you have an open plan living space, it can form a beautiful focal point in the living area tying the various furniture pieces together, giving it great visual appeal. So, are you ready to take your interiors to a whole different level?
