These types of tables are usually sold as garden furniture, but they can work equally well indoors.
29. Ottoman Coffee Table
A coffee table is simply a flat surface where you can rest your drink or place down a book, and it doesn’t necessarily need to be an actual table.
You can place a tray on top of an ottoman so that it can be used as a coffee table, then take the tray away when you want to put your feet up. This works well if you don’t want additional furniture cluttering your space or if you have a small room.
