"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The coffee table: small, yet the one of the most important furniture pieces in the makeup of any living room. You've got your big, fancy TV and a comfy couch—that you never take a nap on in the middle of a work-from-home day. And your coffee table is the piece that pulls a whole room together visually and functionally. It's part of the vibe, but it's also soon to become the home of, sure, quite a few coffee cups, midday snacks, and probably a lot of other small and random items that just end up there somehow.

If you're someone for whom clutter accumulates (or you live with someone suffering from this illness), a coffee table designed with built-in storage is the fastest way to make a room look neat without having to try very hard to think about it.

Here, we rounded up the coolest designed coffee tables that come ready to hide a mess. Some have shallow drawers for the basics, like your remotes and chargers, while others are deep enough to stash some extra blankets or hide in when you need a moment. Instead of clutter, save the tabletop for a coffee table book and the actual coffee you're drinking.
