The secret to creating a welcoming seating area is to outfit it with the right kind of tables. End tables are a must-have finishing touch in any seating area. They are commonly used as side tables next to living room couches or armchairs. End tables offer a handy surface area for a table lamp, vase of flowers, or simply your morning cup of coffee.
An end table with a shelf is a great way to add extra storage space for magazines and books, while one that comes with a drawer can help hide all those little trinkets we accumulate over time. Don’t think too much about matching your end table to your couch or the rest of your furniture. In fact, the best tables are ones that stand out like an accent table. The right end tables for your space can come in many different forms, but one thing is for sure: you don’t want to overlook them.
