SIDE TABLE – NOT JUST A SUPPLY TABLE

SIDE TABLE – NOT JUST A SUPPLY TABLE

Side tables provide refined elegance to every room in the house, from the living room to the bedroom to the lobby, ushering in the days of square tables with usefulness at the forefront. Designers have realized that this item will be much more useful than it appears to be thanks to the ongoing evolution of interior design trends nowadays. The side table's journey is beginning to get more exciting, just like console tables have.

1. Difference between a Coffee table, Side table, End table, and Console table

• Coffee table

The Victorian era (1837–1901) is regarded as the birthplace of the tea table in England. The Anglo-Japanese style had a substantial impact on the design between 1870 and 1880. The well-known Japanese low table is one of them. This is regarded as the source of the tea table's inspiration. Between the sofa and the TV in the living room, the coffee table is a small table that is frequently utilized. Depending on the height of the sofa set, the coffee table's low leg is often only 30 cm high. A suitable coffee table will be at least as tall as the sofa, so the occupants' views will not be obstructed even with drinks on it.

The birth of the coffee table (1837-1901)

Coffee tables are frequently used to place drink orders, as the name suggests. Its height makes it easy to receive visitors, have casual conversations, and watch TV. However, it is not ideal if you want to relax while you're sitting and have your drinks and food near to hand. We have a side table because of this.

These two types of tables are identical so we can group them together. Although there is no official document, the term "end table" or "side table" began to be used in the 19th century, so we can temporarily assume that this type of table was born around that time. Side table - also known as a side table - is a small table used to place drinks, snacks, or for decorative purposes. In the living room, this table is also very convenient to place remotes, keys, or small objects.

The typical shape of a side table is square or round, with a 40–60 cm radius and a 50–60 cm height. For reclining and storing stuff like drinks, books, and phones, this height is practical.

The same is true for ornamental purposes, but there are still a lot of distinctions between console tables in terms of both shape and function. A console table is a sort of tiny, thin table that is either fixed or leaning against a wall (heights range from 70 to 100 cm). Rarely does this kind of table stand alone; it is frequently used as décor. The table top is long and narrow, typically forming a semicircle or long rectangle shape.

2. How to use a side table to make a room's focal point

• Next to the sofa

The most typical and fundamental usage of side tables is for this. Additionally, this placement makes it easier to see the side table's purpose more clearly. In the living room, a side table is typically placed next to the sofa or armchair in addition to the tea table, both for aesthetic purposes and to make it easy for guests to sit and pick up items.

An armchair is frequently added to the master bedroom if the space is large enough. A table is therefore required for this pleasant space. The side table is the ideal table for the bedroom if it is only used for casual chat.

A light side table will be the ideal solution for the conventional cabinets and tabs frequently employed to assist revitalize the area.

The side table will perform the primary decorative function depending on the location of the lobby or aisle. A gorgeous statue or piece of furniture will go well with the table. Additionally, the console table can be used to determine the corridor's location, which is also a very good idea.

Imagine drinking a glass of wine in the evening while relaxing in a bathtub. Isn't the scene just right? In this situation, the tiny table becomes a great area for candles, aromatherapy products, and wine. Additionally, having a dry place where you can leave your phone and watch before getting in the shower is quite sensible.

We must prioritize the use of materials that are strong, simple to clean, and resistant to rain and sun when placing tables in outdoor spaces—for instance, rattan, ceramic, stainless steel, etc.
