Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/coffee-tables\/\">coffee tables<\/a> \u2013 with their focal position in the middle of the room \u2013 are often a magnet for gathering old newspapers, dog-eared magazines and used coffee cups. Being one of the first pieces we see though, think about what you\u2019d like to keep on show and what you\u2019d like to keep hidden. Place convenient items like the TV remote or today\u2019s paper in an easy-to-reach tray with a vase of seasonal flowers, and board games or old magazines in a basket on the bottom shelf or tucked away in a drawer.<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"newark-oak-coffee-table-sussex-painted-coffee-table-lyon-petite-oak-coffee-table\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/coffee-tables\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6718\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=874%2C284&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"874\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?w=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=300%2C97&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=768%2C250&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=1536%2C499&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=2048%2C666&ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=110%2C36&ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=380%2C123&ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=800%2C260&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=1160%2C377&ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=220%2C71&ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=600%2C195&ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=760%2C247&ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=1600%2C520&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=2320%2C754&ssl=1 2320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=200%2C65&ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=255%2C83&ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/coffee-edit.jpg?resize=550%2C179&ssl=1 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 874px) 100vw, 874px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/coffee-tables\/newark-solid-oak-coffee-table\/\">Newark Oak Coffee Table<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/coffee-tables\/sussex-painted-coffee-table-with-drawers\/\">Sussex Painted Coffee Table<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/living-room-furniture\/coffee-tables\/lyon-petite-oak-coffee-table\/\">Lyon Petite Oak Coffee Table<\/a><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A top tip for banishing unnecessary clutter is choosing a coffee table that provides ample storage or plenteous drawer space.
