We seek maximum comfort at home in every room, from the kitchen to the bedroom. However, there are spaces we live in more than others, where we spend more time and carry out various activities — like the kitchen and the living room — practical and versatile environments. These are undoubtedly high-traffic areas that receive the most attention when it comes to choosing furniture and accessories. There are essential pieces that help us define and transform our spaces effortlessly, just as we envision them. The table is one of these fundamental pieces: it should never be missing and, depending on its function, can complete even the simplest interior design.
There are many types of tables on the market. In this guide, we’ll focus specifically on the functionality and design of the round extendable table.
What are tables and coffee tables for? These furniture items serve multiple purposes and are chosen based on what we need and where we plan to place them. In the living room, we might need a table to furnish the dining area, or perhaps a coffee table to position in front of the sofa or between two armchairs.
A table welcomes; it’s perfect for lunch and dinner, but it can also serve as a desk for studying or remote working. A coffee table, on the other hand, defines a relaxation area and works well as a support surface near seating.
There are also various extendable and transformable tables and coffee tables available — ideal for smaller spaces and as stylish space-saving decor.

This year, we’ve seen squared lines and minimalist design step aside in favor of softer silhouettes, flowing shapes, and full colors for a more relaxing and “comfy” atmosphere. This trend is seen across all home furnishings and accessories — including tables and seating.
Among the most popular choices: round extendable tables. But why? The strong comeback of vintage aesthetics, particularly the smooth lines of the 60s and 70s, has brought back organic, nature-inspired forms like soft curves and fluid shapes.
Round and oval tables have become favorites this year, while the decision to go for extendable models reflects a need to better manage space at home — choosing pieces that bring balance and coordinate with the rest of the decor.
Why opt for a round extendable table? Because it's a decorative and trendy choice for several reasons. First, the oval or round shape softens even the most formal rooms, adding harmony and originality to modern interiors. Round tables are easier to integrate because they take up less space, and the extendable function makes them the perfect compromise between practicality and design — ideal even for compact spaces.
We live our spaces differently today than in the past — we expect more from them and constantly seek ways to maximize every corner of the home. Choosing versatile pieces like this is key to creating practical, stylish, and welcoming living areas.
A round extendable table is also highly recommended for families with small children, thanks to the absence of sharp corners. It’s a type of furniture that never goes out of style: its design is always relevant, attractive, and original — allowing you to personalize your kitchen or living space with ease.

How to furnish a living room with a round table
An extendable round table is the perfect decorative piece for the living room, as it fits both spacious interiors and small living areas.
Where to place the round table in the living room? You can place it in the center of the room to create a focal point, or consider positioning it in a dedicated dining corner, perhaps in front of a wall enhanced with colorful wallpaper.
Pair the round table with comfortable seating; choose a color that matches the table’s finishes for minimalist or classic interiors. For a modern and youthful living space, play with contrasts.
