Everything you need to know about Accent Tables and why everyone should have one!
Accent Tables are much more than a small object in a room. Forget the idea of adding a floor lamp, a standing light, a piece of art or anything else to finish a room. An Accent table is the perfect addition to a room. An Accent table can really compliment a room, make a real impression, and should never be undervalued. They are often lightweight, portable, provide storage in tight spaces and practical in many ways. They can be kept next to a couch or chair or used in the corner of a room as storage and a decorative piece.
There are many different designs for Accent tables that can suit an individual’s design tastes such as the shape size or look of the table. Positioning an Accent Table is also important, it completes the design of a living room or any room and should be accessible for those who are seated if it is placed next to a couch or chair. Accent tables are also a perfect accompaniment to a Coffee table. Coffee tables are usually in the centre of the room and kept as a focal point. They are often much bigger than Accent Tables, but a Coffee table has different uses. When friends and family are over a Coffee table can used as a place for food and snacks, where as an Accent Table which is next to the couch can be used to store drinks. Coffee Tables are also generally a minimum of a metre from a couch or chair making it unreachable when relaxing. Whereas an Accent Table is easily accessible as its usually placed nearer a person. These are just a few examples of how both tables compliment each other.
An easy guide to help you choose the right Accent Table for your room
When trying to choose the right Accent table for your room it is important to know what you are looking for. Accent tables come in different sizes i.e., round, oval or square top, short or tall in size and with different bases i.e., flat base, square base, or leg base. Each brand also designs their Accent tables differently. Some brands make Metal Accent Tables, Wooden Accent Tables, Marble top Accent Tables and so on. It is also crucial that the Accent table chosen for a room is suitable for what it is needed for.
How tall should the Accent table be?
At Finesse Tables we recommend that you buy a table roughly level with your couch or chair or just a few inches higher. Also, ensure that the depth of the table doesn’t exceed your couch or chair. The table should be easily reachable and not overstretch the arm if a person is seated. If the table is out of proportion, it wouldn’t look right in any room.
It is also important to make sure you pick the right sized Accent table for the couches or chairs that you have. If it is too small, it will get lost in the room or if it is too big it will stick out. Ensure that the frame, height, length, and depth perfectly match with the furniture in the room.
Accent tables come in different shapes; it is important to know how you want the room to be before placing the table. Having an Accent table with a circle top is more sociable and provides better use in a smaller space. Whereas an Accent table with a square/rectangle top connect the furniture and make a room look evenly proportioned especially if you have a square room.
What is the best way to style an Accent table?
A few people find themselves stuck in how to use an Accent table and lack creative ideas on how make it an addition to a room. At Finesse Tables we have come up with a few ideas.
One of the best ways to style an Accent table is to leave it empty. Most Accent tables have a beautiful design on the top and this should be showed off. Accent tables are decorative pieces and should be shown off this way.
Accent Tables can also be used to showcase accessories or to set a mood of a room. Having a beautiful lamp on top of it, a bespoke piece of art on top, a family picture or to store your favorite book selection. Turning an Accent table into a bookshelf is perfect. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon sitting on your couch and having your favorite books readily available next to you to read.
One use of an Accent table is to use one in an office, home office or workstation. Accent tables can compliment the furniture in these rooms, increase storage, add organization to the space and be placed anywhere in the room due to the portability and compactness of Accent tables.
We’ve left the best till last, what would be better than a floral arrangement on display on a beautiful Accent table. Adding a gorgeous vase, with beautiful flowers in it would transform the Accent table to the focal point of any room or entryway.
