The phrase “think out of the box” may shine a negative light on squares, but these modern square coffee tables are here to show you that there’s plenty of creativity and style to be found well within a box. This timeless shape acts as the perfect anchor and focal point for the center of your home. Place one directly in front of a couch for a bold statement piece or snuggle it into the L of a sectional or an abstract, contemporary look. Although these are modern square coffee tables, you’ll find that they possess a surprising range of styles, colors, and materials, perfect for elevating your living room and transforming your home’s spaces.

Favorite Square Coffee Table Colors & Materials

Sprinkled throughout our selection of modern square coffee tables, you’ll find materials and finishes like natural wood tones, chic acrylic styles, contemporary neutrals, and bright, fiery colors. Our mid-century modern coffee table options feature natural wood finishes, simple silhouettes, and a refined air that blends in perfectly. Alternatively, our industrial coffee table options make a much bolder statement with an effortless combination of soft natural finishes and bold man-made materials. To achieve this look, opt for a modern square coffee table with a clean wooden top and sturdy yet simple iron legs. Or, if you want to bring out a more delicate side of your decor, choose a glass square coffee table that will let light shine through. Because of the simple shape, designers had to rely on the materials and finishes to add interest to their pieces, and they certainly delivered.

Decor that Works Well With Modern Square Coffee Tables

Truth be told, there are not many furniture or decor pieces that don’t pair well with square coffee tables, especially with such a wide variety of styles to choose from. However, there are certain pieces that blend in seamlessly and can be used to create a cohesive design theme that takes you from one room of your house to the next. Square side tables continue the feel of modern square coffee tables while allowing you to bring their chic look to smaller spaces. Additionally, sectional sofas are a great addition to a room with a square coffee table. You can create a clean, modern appeal by aligning their angles and lines with one another.

How to Choose the Best Square Coffee Table

First and foremost, consider the design of your sofa and/or loveseat, and any other pieces that will be surrounding your modern round coffee table. If you notice a lot of curves, breaking it up with the straight style lines of a square coffee table provides an interesting juxtaposition that makes all the surrounding pieces stand out. On the other hand, if your home features primarily modern decor, keep the straight lines going with another minimalist piece. It is also important to be very aware of the size of your coffee table and the space around it. You should be able to walk on all sides comfortably without bumping into anything, so make sure that the table is small enough. However, you don’t want the table to be so small that it is lost. So if your table feels like it’s not making enough of an impact, opt for something larger.

Other Modern Square Coffee Tables Considerations

Along with size and style, it’s also a good idea to consider the height of your table. And while in many cases, this is not a make or break feature, we can offer you some guidelines to follow to help narrow your search. As a general rule of thumb, your coffee table should be no lower than 2 inches beneath the cushions and 2 inches above the cushions. This may seem like a pretty small frame of reference, but you’ll discover that finding a modern square coffee table that meets these qualifications is not difficult at all.
