Most homemakers are already aware that a coffee table is a handy place to keep a book or magazine or two, to place drinks and snacks, or even to store craft projects, if it comes with a drawer. But you might not be aware that coffee table with stools can add seating to your living room and even expand storage.
For example, a Schooner coffee table with nested storage stools can add four padded seats to your living room, as well as provide space for games, magazines, books or crafts. The faux leather ottomans slide under the corners of the coffee table when not in use. When the hinged top of each ottoman is opened, there is ample storage space for fun stuff or even extra blankets or pillows.
If you want something a little lighter, the Bella Esprit round coffee table with four wedge-shaped stools is a charming addition to any living room. Similar in design is the Ashley coffee table, with glass top. This elegant little coffee table is the perfect place to seat younger guests, along with coloring books and crayons. The glass top makes clean-up easy.
Smaller living rooms might not accommodate the tables with four extra seating spaces. For these rooms, a narrower table with two nested stool seats can still be used to expand seating for guests or to use as footstools or extra storage.
In each case, a coffee table with stools can expand seating and even storage in a home that has limited options for space. If you live in a small apartment or even in a Tiny House, these double-duty coffee tables could be just the thing for expanding accommodations for family time or for guests. Even if you have plenty of space, they are both charming and convenient.
