As Beach style is breezy style. It's natural colors and soft blues. It's a little shabby, a little chic, but mostly it's about keeping things light, airy, and casual. Whether you live on the beach or in town, you can create the feel of the ocean with your decor.
We're focusing on beach-styled coffee tables in this post and have found eleven great choices for any beach-inspired decor. From classic rectangular shabby chic with rattan baskets to a truly one of a kind round glass and actual teak root, these tables will make a fabulous focal point for your living room. For ease, we've separated them into sections by shape below.
Rectangular Beach Style Coffee Tables
Rectangular coffee tables are always a great choice. They mirror the shape of the sofa, take up a minimum of space, and allow for plenty of surface area for your guests to place drinks or cell phones. Some of them even come with lower shelves, which are a great place to showcase a bowl with your beachcombing efforts.
Weathered Turquoise Coffee Table
This is a charming hand-made table out of reclaimed wood. It measures 40L x 20w x 18h. Because of the hand-done nature of this piece, no two are exactly alike, and all will feature from knot holes and nail holes and general imperfections. The table is painted a gorgeous Carribean turquoise on the sides that is sanded through to show peeks of wood color. The top is left the natural color of the wood. Fun and deliciously shabby for the ultimate beach living room.
