Side tables are those small pieces of furniture whose main function is decorative. We can find them in any room of the home, although it is usually more common in living rooms and bedrooms. This type of furniture not only has the function of decorating, it is also an element that can have small drawers or shelves to store objects. When choosing the side table, we must take into account several factors, needs and style.
In this QECHIC tip we will teach you how to hit the side table that your room needs. You must take into account the shape: round, square, hexagonal or rectangular and the style, since it must follow the decorative line of the rest of the furniture and elements of the room.
Side tables functionality
If we focus on the functionality of this type of furniture, we can find different side tables. Those that are designed to be placed in the corner of the room, between two sofas, for example, and that serve as a support for placing everyday items such as books or lamps.
If, on the other hand, our objective is to decorate the living room or bedroom, we must bet on a specific decorative style in keeping with the one we have in that area. We encourage you to discover the QUECHIC collection of side tables where you can also see the different combinations with rugs, mirrors, lamps and other furniture.
In decoration, we must bear in mind that if we get a piece of furniture, which in addition to providing a decorative touch, provides functionality, it will be a good option to facilitate our day to day. This is the case, for example, of the side tables that combine an elegant and minimalist design with small shelves, drawers or storage areas under its base. In this way, we can have magazines, blankets or cushions on hand.
A very useful option for small spaces are the nest tables. They are those that keep another smaller table inside and so we can use it when we need them. We can find tables that adapt to the spaces between sofas or in corners next to the wall to enjoy a series or movie in the living room.
How to choose the right side table?
Before choosing the side table that will perfectly match the room in which we are going to place it, we must take into account several factors:
The material and the shape: it is essential to know the use that will be given to the table. At QUECHIC you can find exclusive side tables made of wood, metal or stone that provide a hardness and resistance that allow us to rest glasses, cups or plates on it.
If we want the design of the side table to stand out among the rest of the furniture in the room, we must give prominence using different elements such as vases, striking flowers, decorative boxes or lamps.
It is common to see this type of tables in large rooms, rooms or offices, but due to the great variety of designs, we can locate them wherever we want. In bathrooms they can be used to place towels, in the kitchen to store jugs, cups or glasses and in corridors they will help us highlight decorative figures or plants.
The side tables can also be used as central tables in the living room when the reduced space requires it. We can combine two side tables of the same model and different size or height to achieve a combination that can provide us with the functionality we need in that space with a very original decorative touch. Place vases, candles or decorative elements on it to give personality to the center of the room and to stand out from the rest of the furniture.
One of the advantages of these tables is their ease of transportation due to their size. Thus, we can remove them to clean easily and play at creating different environments by changing them to give more versatility to the room.
