When you’re working with a small living room, every piece of furniture needs a reason to be there. This goes for style, as well as function. A side table, for instance, does more than hold your coffee. It can soften the space, bring in a bit of personality, hide clutter, and help a compact seating setup feel finished, all without eating up precious floor space.
The gist of it is, the best side tables for small living rooms will be functional and beautiful. Here are eight of my favorite accent tables for small spaces that prove you don't have to sacrifice style for function.
How to Choose the Best Side Table for a Small Living Room
Before buying, think beyond appearance. The right table should fit both your space and how you actually use your living room.
Depending on your layout, round tables can improve traffic flow, but it’s the way the curves contrast all the 90 degree angles in a room that really make them a great choice in a small living room. And for a visually lighter option, pedestal or martini tables will help make the space look larger.
Tip: If space is exceptionally tight, hang a sconce or pendant light over a martini table instead of a traditional table and lamp set up.
Flexibility is the name of the game in small spaces, and nesting tables have that in spades. The smaller table can be tucked under the larger one, moved next to a chair, whatever you need. If storage is a your goal, look for smaller tables in cabinets and shelves.
