Side Tables

What size side table should I choose?
For comfort, your side table should be roughly the same height as the armrest of the adjacent sofa or armchair, with a margin of about two inches higher or lower. This height ensures you can easily set down a drink, reach a reading lamp, or grab a book without straining. Additionally, the side table's depth should ideally match the seating's depth to maintain a clean, visually balanced layout in your living space.

What is the best side table material: wood, metal, or marble?
The ideal material depends on your household needs and aesthetic preferences. Natural wood brings warmth, organic texture, and traditional durability, making it perfect for cosy family rooms. Metal side tables offer a sleek, industrial, or modern feel and are extremely lightweight, making them easy to rearrange. If you want to add a sense of luxury, marble-top tables from Homebox provide a sturdy, sophisticated surface that is highly resistant to daily wear and easy to clean.

Can side tables be used in small spaces?
Side tables are exceptionally well-suited for compact living. Thanks to their small footprint, they can easily fit into tight corners, awkward spaces between seating, or even double as space-saving nightstands in a small bedroom. To make the most of limited square footage, look for nesting side table sets at Homebox. These allow you to pull out extra surfaces when hosting guests and tuck them away neatly when they are no longer needed.

How do I match a side table with my living room furniture?
Your side table does not need to match your coffee table or sofa exactly. In fact, mixing materials can give your living room a more layered, professionally designed feel. If you have a plush fabric sofa, try pairing it with a sleek metal or glass side table to add a modern contrast. To maintain visual harmony, ensure that at least one element, such as the wood tone, metallic finish, or colour family, matches other pieces in the room.
