A furniture staple, often overlooked, the side table is both a decorative and practical addition to your living room, bedroom or home.
A small table intended to sit to the side of a larger piece of furniture, such as a bed or sofa. This quiet hero is also known as an occasional table, end table, sofa table, lamp table, bedside table or nightstand depending on its location and use.
The ideal host for table lamps, books, house plants, a cup of tea or a glass of wine, the perfect side table complements the rest of the room and is always there when you need it but never looks out of place.
Project: Juliette Byrne featuring Paris side table
Portable and compact by design, side tables are often displayed as pairs but work equally well individually, allowing you to mix different styles to suit your space and changing social requirements.
With a variety of designs, sizes, shapes and materials to choose from we take a look at some of our favourite luxury side tables from the Rebecca Scott furniture collections, all designed by Scott Glazebrook and handmade in England.
PARIS
SIDE TABLE
Perfect for small corners, the clean lines of the Paris side table fit naturally against a wall, sofa or next to a lounge chair. The combination of wood, specialist veneer and brushed metal are a great way to introduce some glamorous materials into a space. Available in custom sizes and finishes, with or without drawers and shelves.
COURTYARD
ROUND SIDE TABLE
Round side tables can help to visually soften a space if there are lots of hard edges. Great if space is tight or if you have small children and want to avoid sharp edges. This small wooden side table features a brushed steel inlay and handy under shelf making it the perfect alternative to a bedside table in a bedroom where space is limited.
WESTOW
SIDE TABLE
Square or rectangular tables work well alongside sofas and lounge chairs though typically take up more floor space. The combination of polished stainless steel, wood and a carbon fibre make this contemporary side table the ultimate statement piece for your living room or bedroom interior.
DIAMOND
NIGHTSTAND
An elegant way of introducing an extra surface as well as offering practical storage space the Diamond bedside table is large enough to host a table lamp, books and drink whilst providing valuable bedroom storage with-in its two drawers. Contrasting wood textures and finishes add interest and visual impact whilst a matching pair will create symmetry if space permits.
ELLIPSE
SIDE TABLE
Drum tables are an ideal way of making a statement where space is limited. With its antique metal frame and composite stone top the Ellipse side table has a contemporary feel that would suit a number of interior settings. Mix and match with another side table of the same height or for a symmetrical look try placing matching tables on either side of your sofa.
QUADRO
SIDE TABLE
An excellent choice if you want to accommodate a table lamp, books and a drink, this large metal side table features a polished stainless steel frame with an ultra slim wood top. Whilst there is no set size, the perfect side table should sit just lower than the arm of the chair or sofa and usually ranges between 51-61cm in height give or take a few cms. Choosing the right depth will depend on the space and what is going to be placed on the table.
