End Tables: An end table is a small table placed beside a chair or at each end of a sofa. It should be relative in depth to the arm of the chair or sofa it flanks. Additionally, it is wise to choose a table that is proportionate in scale to the surrounding furniture. For example, an overstuffed sofa calls for a table larger or bulkier in size while a petite wing chair needs a smaller table with a more delicate frame and lines. A current design trend is to mix and match styles and shapes. In fact, rather than matching all the furniture in a bedroom suite, some people choose to use mix and matched end tables in lieu of night stands. If you are unsure about whether or not your tables fit together, a good rule of thumb is to try to coordinate the table legs with the lines and curves of your furniture.
In sum, when choosing any furniture for your home, make sure to take proper measurements and consider the size and style of the room and the furniture you already have in it. You sit there looking at the empty space in your room wondering what you could fill it with. Maybe you should try something with both style and function. Fill that space with an accent table and you'll forget that it was ever empty.
Add some old world beauty to any room with an ornately carved table with a marble top. A little round scrolling metal table with glass top will fill any corner with the flavor of the Big Easy. If you like the Victorian look you can treat your guests to its definitive charm when you serve them tea on a detailed, wooden serving cart. Or bring some warmth and charm into your living room with a quilted leather ottoman storage table. It is perfect for holding a snack and hiding a fuzzy blanket. If you like to entertain some nesting tables are the way to go. Two smaller tables fit snuggly under a larger one until they are needed. Then simply place them around the room where you need them and store them with ease when you are finished.
Probably your preference runs a lot more toward modern design. Take into consideration clear or colored glass tabletops, geometric bases in steel, fiberglass, or high-end plastics, solid or open structure dices and also rectangles in wood or stone. The curvilinear forms and also the colorful laminate surface areas that you see in mid-century Modern furniture-think "The Jetsons"-can be charming and include wayward heat to a modern layout that may risk of being also chilly.
