HOW TO STYLE YOUR SIDE TABLE

When it comes to living room furniture, the coffee table gets all the glory. Aside from the couch or sofa suite, it’s one of the first items people look to purchase when they’re setting up house for the first time or upgrading from the hand-me-downs of college days past.  It’s easy to understand how the much smaller side table might be easily overlooked, but we’d argue that it’s just as important a player. These flexible pieces of furniture offer a place to set a drink, provide storage, and, depending on the style of the table, pinch hit as an extra seat or a mini-bar.

Even if your side table isn’t front and center, it’s still worth taking the time to style it like you would your coffee table to create a balanced space that reflects your personality.

LIGHTING

Shed some light on it. Side tables are a great place for displaying other elements in your design. Introduce much-needed accent lighting while displaying a gorgeous lamp that brings a colour pop or a shapely design to your décor.

The Jennifer Table Lamp is the perfect way to shine some light and make a bold statement at the same time. Its golden stem paired with the marble base are the perfect pair and fit right in on any side table or desk. The design and style of the Jennifer Table Lamp will perfectly complement any home office or living room. The marble base adds height to the warm glow created. Creating various light sources in your home décor is key to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Jennifer Table Lamp will help create layers of light in a stylish way.

A FAVOURITE TREASURE

Put your favourite things on display. Unique accessories, such as a beautiful bowl or dish, a found piece of coral, a special trinket or a had-to-have-it tray, are what make a space your own.

A LITTLE AMBIANCE

A scented candle in your signature scent adds instant ambiance, as does a pretty bowl of flowers.  And if you’re not up to the task of gathering fresh-cut flowers, faux florals or greenery work just as well for year-round colour.

Décor meets function in your Pompeii Soy Wax candle, not only does it serve as a beautiful decorative piece, it can be used as a light source when needed.

A BASKET OR DISH

The key to maximising style is minimising clutter. Our go-to strategy for keeping it clean is setting out an attractive basket or dish on or under a side table to collect the odds and ends. Now you can keep remotes and reading glasses tucked away while you aren’t using them.
