The TORSJÖ series from IKEA brings together modern elegance and timeless charm. With its combination of gold-effect metal frames and glass tabletops, these tables add a touch of luxury without overwhelming a room. They are designed to blend seamlessly into both contemporary and classic interiors.
I recently photographed the TORSJÖ coffee table and side table at the IKEA Tempelhof store in Berlin. Seeing them styled in a real showroom makes it clear how well they fit into different interior styles – from modern minimalism to more traditional living rooms.
The TORSJÖ coffee table is round, spacious, and eye-catching. Its glass surface allows light to flow through, creating an airy feeling in the living room. The gold-effect frame adds a subtle shine that elevates the entire space. Despite its elegant look, the design remains simple, which makes it easy to pair with different sofas, rugs, and accessories.
Placed in front of a sofa, the coffee table serves as a natural centerpiece. It is ideal for displaying decorative trays, candles, or fresh flowers while still being practical for everyday use, like holding drinks and books.
The TORSJÖ side table shares the same design language but in a smaller format. This makes it easy to move around the home, whether next to an armchair, as a bedside table, or even as an extra surface during gatherings. Its light construction ensures flexibility, while the round glass top provides enough space for a lamp, a vase, or a few glasses.
The side table also works beautifully as a companion to the coffee table. Together, they create a coordinated set that enhances the living area with symmetry and style.
Material combination: gold-effect metal and glass for a refined yet modern look.
Round shape: softens the room and contrasts nicely with angular furniture.
Light and airy construction: the glass top prevents the tables from feeling bulky.
Flexible use: easy to move and combine in different rooms of the home.
