11 Ottoman Coffee Tables to Transform Your Living Space
"When spaces are tight on storage or clients have children, a coffee table can become a crucial place to keep toys and blankets. It’s also a great trick to quickly hide clutter before company arrives," says interior designer Maiya Kathryn.

These days, there are lots of coffee tables that provide living room storage, ranging from lift-top coffee tables with hidden storage to tables with drawers and open shelving. But with so many options to choose from, it can be tough to hone in on just the right one for your space. After all, what works for one household might not be a great fit for another. To make it easier, we're highlighting the very best coffee tables with storage for every type of household, budget, and home decor. Check our next topic If you like glass coffee tables.
