Smart And Stylish Tables for Your Home

Occasional tables are one of the most useful accessories you can add to your furniture list. When you are buying furniture for your new home, you may not think that you will need many coffee tables or side tables etc. You may think that one in the living room should do. But when you start living in your home, you will find more new uses for the humble end tables and will decide on buying more occasional tables than first expected.

Where all you use these tables? You need one certainly right in the center of living room just within reach of the sofa set. Then you may need two small ones at each end of sofa. And of course, you need one more where you have a reading nook. Where will you keep that beautiful show piece or the fragrant vase of flowers? Again you will need an end table.

What are the kinds of end tables you can buy for your home? Coffee tables, cocktail tables, sofa end tables, console tables, side tables, central table and peg tables are some of the tables which are used as accessory furniture mostly in the living room and also in the dining room, well practically in every room. A console table in the foyer looks very pretty indeed.

Formerly only solid wood occasional tables were manufactured. Then metal frames with glass tops, stone tops or wooden tops were manufactured. The tops can be real work of art – like in-lay work, ivory work or other hand-crafted tops. Today there are the bamboo tables, cane tables, plastic tables, and all glass tables as well fiberglass tables.

You need to be attentive to the height of occasional tables so that the user will find it convenient when they want to place their tea cup or drinks. The sofa seats should be lower than the height of occasional tables. The ideal height can be the level of the arms of the sofa. And you need at least some 10-12 inches in between the sofa and occasional tables so that there is enough leg room for people to walk around.

Some tables have storage space built into it. Some have drawers or shelves either at the top or at the bottom. Here are some very beautiful occasional table sets from Nice Price Furniture. Aren’t they pretty?
