I agree with ottoman suggested in a fabric that would bring other color and texture into the room. A metal tray on top for drinks. Keep any metal tones complimentary. Glass /wood end tables in MCM style.

I have this one in my sunroom—natural marble, mid-century inspired. I have had it for a few years and still love it, though you can.’t really move it to vacuum.

@jdail Here it is in my room—sans dogs, dog covers, and dog hair!
