Accent Tables

Through the centuries, tables have varied in height to accommodate seating. The history of four-legged tables is traced back to ancient Egypt; the first tables introduced to Western culture were boards mounted on trestles, assembled and disassembled as needed. Joined tables with leaves accommodated numerous guests in large dining halls. Europeans and Americans became infatuated with occasional and accent tables during the Victorian era.

Honorable Intentions
The table's extensive history and diverse uses has led to accent tables in styles from casual to formal, in wood and metal, with accents in marble, glass, leather, rattan, ceramic and mosaic tile, in round, square, oblong, even heart-shaped designs. Frames might have sinuous or straight lines with open or closed basses. Elegant pedestal accent tables and ornately carved legs add glamour and style to formal settings. Accent tables are intended to hold prominent items, from lamps to plants, photos, clocks, and curios. Accent tables can stand alone in hallways and foyers, or be worked into furniture groupings.

Indulge in Sophistication
Space permitting, nooks create cozy and serene personal spaces. With as little as a chair, accent table, and lamp, a corner of the living room or bedroom transforms into a reading corner and place of distinction. Accent tables are cousins to end tables in antique, traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles. In comparison, their stature can be grand; they can be charismatic, bold, and independent. Accent tables define space; they are podiums of sophistication for treasures that deserve recognition.

Integrity and Personality
Accent tables might be understated designs: plant, telephone, corner, butler, book, tea, or martini tables that discretely serve a purpose. Or accent tables can be compact storage chests or curios-style accents, even drum tables, dominating and defining space. Often redecorating or rearranging furnishings leaves a void in the room. Accent tables solve decorating dilemmas; they can match other furnishings or boast an individual style that sets them apart from the rest of the decor. Accent tables can be the answer to decorating woes and are the welcoming touches that make a house a home.
