Add style and functionality to your home with a side table
Side tables are often considered secondary options when it comes to furnishing, but they can add both functionality and aesthetics to your home.
Some additional benefits are:
Versatility . Side tables provide additional space for placing everyday items such as lamps, remote controls, books or coffee cups, strategically placed next to sofas, armchairs or beds for added convenience.
Space optimization . In homes with limited space, these tables are a smart solution. Their compact size makes it possible to take advantage of corners or small areas that would otherwise remain unused. In addition, some have shelves or drawers for greater functionality.
Decorative accent . Side tables can enhance the aesthetics of a room by adding a touch of style and personality. With a variety of designs, materials, and colors, you can choose a table that complements existing decor or makes a striking focal point.
Flexibility in arrangement . These pieces of furniture are easy to move and can be arranged according to your needs, whether to create more space, facilitate conversation during social gatherings or complete the sofa arrangement in the living room.
Tables to improve home storage.
You may need a place to store small items that you want to keep close at hand. A side table with drawers is ideal for keeping things organized and storing personal belongings, household essentials, or miscellaneous items.
Especially useful next to the bed, a side table can keep glasses, phone chargers, medications and other essential items within reach without cluttering the space.
The ideal side table according to its material:
To match your style and function preferences, a wide variety of designs are available. The choice of material affects both the appearance and the ease of cleaning and care.
Wood. A wooden side table provides an elegant and timeless character, durable and capable of developing a beautiful patina over time.
Glass. This material adds elegance and a minimalist look, both contemporary and classic. Our tempered glass tables are more resistant.
Concrete look. Provides a robust and industrial appearance, ideal for minimalist and modern interior designs. Its neutral style highlights the elements placed on it.
Marble. Exuding exclusivity and luxury, our marble side tables offer a sense of sophistication.
How to choose the color of your table?
Colour is also an important aspect when choosing a side table. You can opt for the warm and natural look of wood, the minimalist look of white, or the robustness and elegance of metal details. Combining cold metal with warm wood results in a timeless and modern table.
If you want your side table to stand out, choose a design with an elegant gold metal frame, evoking the elegance of the art deco style and adding a touch of luxury to your home.
Places in your home for your auxiliary furniture:

Living room or lounge. Ideal next to sofas and armchairs, they can serve as lamp holders, picture frames or additional surfaces for drinks and snacks.
Bedroom. Practical next to the bed for reading lamps, alarm clocks or books, and as storage space.
Hallway or foyer. Perfect for displaying artwork, plants, candles, or for storing keys and mail.
Dining room. Next to a sideboard, they can provide additional storage for dishes and linens, or be useful during formal dinners.

How to improve an abandoned table:
Upgrading an abandoned table can revitalize a forgotten piece of furniture. Here are some steps:
Cleaning and preparation: Thoroughly clean the table and sand the surface to remove stains and old finishes.
Repairs. Repair damage such as cracks or loose legs, and replace damaged parts if necessary.
Refinishing. Decide whether to keep the natural look of the wood or apply new paint. Apply several thin coats of paint, sanding lightly between each coat.
Personalization. Add decorative details such as decoupage, stenciling or image transfer techniques, and embellishments such as decorative pulls.
Sealing and Protection: Apply a coat of clear sealer to protect the finish and provide durability.
