The Nantucket Charm Edit
Every beach-house coffee table we've found — driftwood, blue-and-white, glass-and-brass, reclaimed wood and woven storage trunks — with a designer's notes on how to style each.
The coffee table is the heart of the coastal living room — the place where a jug of blue hydrangeas, a stack of shell books, and a driftwood candle live all summer long. These are the tables we'd anchor a slipcovered sofa around, room by room.
Blue & White
For the shingled family room. Anchor with a jute rug, a slipcovered sofa in ivory linen, and a footed glass bowl of hydrangea stems. A MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check candle at the corner does the rest.

For the guest room or den. Reclaimed wood, original iron banding, and enough storage inside to swallow every throw blanket. Style with a stack of hardcover Hamptons books and a bud vase. Now on sale for $213 through Sept 23.

Marble & Gold
The most flexible pair we own. Push them together in front of a sectional for a big styled moment, or pull them apart on movie night. Marble + brass = magazine-cover polish.
