End Table - Where Would Your Space Be Without One

Perfect for holding your drink, providing space for a lamp, or to display your beloved knick knacks, the end table is a excellent piece of furniture that should be included in any home.


Wood Table Lamps

Selecting the ideal end table is as easy as getting that drink of water, with many styles and colors from which to choose. With so many options, you may want to think the following tips before you begin shopping:

What is your decorating style?

Look around at your existing furniture. Is wood the main material, or do you favor glass and chrome? Maybe wrought iron is more your style. If wood dominates the room, your option for end tables can be stained pine, oak or cherry, to name just a few. The color you select should coordinate with the wood color of the current furnishings in your room, and be compatible with the pattern on your upholstered pieces and window treatments. If your decorating style tends to be eclectic, then a compound of materials and looks might have great petition to you. Glass tables not only look contemporary and chic, but also add depth to a room that is small in size.

Are you a fan of antiques or does your taste run more modern?

Many ancient pieces are lovely and functional, and bring a rustic look to the room. With the aged appearance of the finish, ancient styles lend a handmade grace and can be used as a focal point in the room. For a more contemporary décor, glass topped tables may heighten the extensive style in the room.

Which room will host the end table?

For use in bedrooms, end tables can be used as ornamental accents. A table lamp, a handmade lacy doily, and maybe some framed photographs or artwork located creatively on a round pedestal end table can dress up a blank wall or an empty corner.

Dining rooms are also great places for end tables. Use one or a pair to accent and dress up a dining room to display lovely vases of fresh or dried flowers.

Outdoor patios can be livened by the use of end tables. Great for entertaining, patios or decks generally provide guest seating, and end tables offer handy space for placing cold drinks or snack items.

Living rooms are traditionally rooms where end tables are found. Ensconcing an overstuffed sofa on each end, end tables provide lighting possibilities as well as display surface. Handy drawers can keep the area clear of clutter by containing remotes, reading glasses, television viewing guides and more. Coordinating the tables with a coffee table brings a finished look to your décor.
