Three Reasons Why You Need a Side Table

Whether it’s extra storage, a coffee table replacement, or a space-saving set, the side table is the perfect small, flexible helper in your home. It’s a go-to piece anytime you need a quick place to store or set something down. Stylight will tell you why you need a least one in your home.

Extra Storage in the Dining Room

A too-crowded table anytime you have friends over for dinner can be a thing of the past. A side table can provide the extra space you need for drinks or serving dishes that would otherwise clutter up the dining room table. For even more storage space, choose a side table with drawers, shelves, or a lifting lid.

  • Materials: Metal, fabric, or even light concrete
  • Special tip: Choose a side table that compliments your dining room table to create a harmonized feel.

Use a Side Table Instead of a Coffee Table for a Cozy Atmosphere

Small side tables are a great replacement for a large coffee table. When placed conveniently in front of the sofa, they’re a great place for setting remotes, magazines, or drinks. When you need extra space by the sofa, they’re easy to move and rearrange. For low sofas, choose a side table with a height of about 30 cm.

  • Materials: mirrored glass, wood, aluminum
  • Special tip: Don’t choose a table that’s taller than the seat height of your sofa.

  • Materials: Steel, glass, iron, fiberboard
  • Special tip: When not in use, you can easily stack the tables together or decorate them with flowers or a lamp.
