Table Styles & Materials
Our accent table collection features solid oak and teak tables from Ethnicraft, hand-forged iron and brass designs from Dovetail, and modern abstract sculptural pieces. Materials range from solid mango wood and reclaimed oak to brushed brass and blackened iron. Each table is selected for both design impact and everyday durability.
Choosing the Right Accent Table
Side tables and end tables should sit level with or just below the arm of your sofa or chair. Standard heights range from 22-26 inches. For bedside tables, match the height of your mattress top. Consider scale — a chunky table next to a slim sofa looks unbalanced. Round tables work well in tight spaces since there are no sharp corners to navigate around.
Frequently Asked Questions
What height should a side table be?
A side table should be within 2 inches of your sofa's arm height, typically 24-26 inches. For bedside tables, align with the top of your mattress so reaching for a lamp or glass of water feels natural. Nesting tables offer flexible heights for different uses.
What is the difference between an accent table and an end table?
End tables are placed at the end of a sofa or beside a chair and are primarily functional — holding lamps, drinks, and remotes. Accent tables are decorative-first pieces placed anywhere in a room to add visual interest, like entryways, hallways, or corners. Many tables serve both purposes.
How do I style an accent table?
Keep it simple — one lamp or tall object, one decorative accent, and one functional item like a small tray or coaster. Avoid overcrowding the surface. For entryway tables, a vase with dried florals and a decorative bowl for keys creates a welcoming landing spot.
