A Primer on End Tables and Others

Occasional tables are a large group of functional tables of various heights and shapes, used to fill voids and bring balance into home decor. Occasional tables define existing styles and boldly draw attention to the unique and dramatic, with possibilities as broad as the imagination. These tables are available in wood, metal, rattan, and are sometimes crafted with tempered glass.

Accent tables are cousins to end tables; in comparison, their stature is grand, independent, and charismatic. Accent tables correct awkward flows and add pizzazz to neutral palates. Accent tables fill empty spaces, redirect traffic, and add balance. They can stand alone in a foyer or co-exist in a room with other furnishings.
Coffee tables are long, low, wide tables placed in front of sofas. Lines are usually straight or angled. Many include additional storage compartments, shelves, drawers, and lift tops. Coffee tables are often sold in sets with matching end tables.
Cocktail tables are similar to coffee tables; however, cocktail tables have more curves and are not usually sold in sets.
Console tables are long, thin, tall rectangular or half-moon tables that are placed against walls and/or at the side of sofas. Console tables can be used in hallways and dining rooms.
Sofa tables are similar to console tables, and are designed to fit against the back of the sofa or against a wall. Both tables offer storage and display space.
End tables (side tables) are usually placed at the side of a chair or sofa; end tables are never taller than the arms of the furniture next to which they are placed. They offer shelves, drawers and cabinet space; some double as display/curio cabinets. If used with coffee tables, style and materials should match. End tables are replacing coffee tables as individual tables or side-by-side, multi-table groupings.
Nesting tables are a set of at least two tables of varying height and size; smaller tables slide under the main table when not in use. Nesting tables can be used in a singular grouping, separated and used throughout the room, or used in different rooms.
