Accent tables add to the overall aesthetic of a room. They serve both a decorative and functional purpose. Since the accent table category encompasses a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and materials, choosing the right fit for your home can appear to be a daunting task at first. This article will help you make sense of the different types of accent tables in order to help you decide which tables work for you.
Console Sofa Tables: Generally, a console table is an accent table used for displaying accessories or other decorative items. It can be both decorative and functional. Since console tables tend to be narrow in depth, they are perfect for entry spaces, hallways or foyers. They can also be placed in front of a window or behind a sofa or love seat, hence the name "sofa" table. Console tables typically feature drawers, cabinets or stylish shelves for displaying accessories. An example of a popular and stylish console table design is the demilune, which is semi-circular or crescent shaped with a flat back side. The demilune table is designed to be pushed up against a wall and usually has 3 or 4 legs. It is perfect for smaller spaces because its frame is slightly more compact. Demilunes come in an array of styles, from the most formal and ornate to simple and casual.
So when you begin searching for a few accent tables don't get frustrated by the small selection at your local stores. Instead try shopping online and you'll not only find the best selection, but also the best prices. Round and rectangle, wood or glass or even marble you are sure to find something to fit your style and your space.
Another nice feature of accent tables along with their beauty is how they are practical. Remember, they are a table and they have lovely, spacious surfaces where you can nicely set down and display pretty much anything that you want from family photos, to vases filled with flowers, and lamps to add extra lighting to your space. There are some that even feature different storage options like drawers, shelves, and cabinets, giving you a nice spot to tuck away books, magazines, remote controls, and even special keepsakes.
