End Tables

End Tables – Functional Elegance for Every Living Room

End tables — sometimes referred to as side tables or accent tables — are compact, versatile pieces that complement a living room, bedroom, or office. They provide a handy surface for lamps, drinks, books and décor while adding style and balance to your seating arrangement. To look proportionate, most end tables stand about 20–30 inches tall and measure 12–18 inches wide, allowing them to tuck neatly beside sofas, chairs, or beds. Their design is primarily functional, providing a dedicated spot for everyday essentials. However, the right table also enhances your décor with wood grain, metal accents, or elegant glass tops.

Whether you’re shopping for a modern end table, a rustic side table with storage or a minimalist accent piece, Ornate Home offers a curated collection to suit every style and space. Choose from glass‑top end tables, wood side tables, round accent tables, nesting sets and more — all crafted to elevate your home with elegance and practicality.

End table styles to match your space

• ✔ Modern & contemporary – Clean lines and geometric shapes define our modern end tables. Many feature metal, glass, or lacquered wood finishes and offer conveniences like hidden storage or USB ports.
  

• ✔ Rustic charm – Rustic end tables are crafted from distressed wood and reclaimed materials, bringing warmth and natural texture to farmhouse, cottage or industrial interiors.
  

• ✔ Industrial edge – Industrial end tables blend blackened metal, rivets and reclaimed wood for an urban look. These bold pieces often include open shelving or wheeled bases and work beautifully in loft apartments or eclectic rooms.
  

• ✔ Traditional elegance – Traditional end tables feature ornate details, curved legs and rich finishes like cherry, mahogany or espresso. They complement formal living rooms and often feature drawers or shelves for added storage.
  

• ✔ Mid-century modern – Inspired by the 1950s and ’60s, mid-century modern end tables feature tapered legs, natural wood finishes, and clean silhouettes. Their retro‑chic style pairs well with contemporary sofas and minimalist décor.
  

• ✔ Boho eclectic – Bohemian‑style end tables incorporate hand‑carved details, woven textures, and global patterns. Made from rattan, reclaimed wood or painted finishes, they bring an artistic, relaxed vibe to casual spaces.
  

• ✔ Luxury marble – Marble‑top end tables exude sophistication. Available in classic white, black or veined finishes and paired with brass or gold legs, these pieces instantly elevate glam and upscale interiors.
  

• ✔ Airy glass – Glass end tables visually lighten a room. With metal or chrome frames, they reflect light, making small spaces appear larger and blending effortlessly into modern or transitional settings.
  

• ✔ Softly rounded – Round end tables soften sharp lines and promote easy conversation. Their curved edges are safe for homes with kids or pets and suit a variety of décor styles.
  

• ✔ Functional storage – End tables with drawers, cabinets or shelves provide discreet storage for remotes, books and coasters. These versatile pieces can even serve as nightstands or snack stations.
  

• ✔ Space‑saving sets – Nesting end tables come in sets of two or three that slide together when not in use. They’re perfect for small homes or hosting situations where you need extra surfaces only occasionally.

Smart solutions for small spaces

If you’re furnishing a compact living room or apartment, consider small end tables or designs with built‑in storage. Tables with drawers, cabinets or open shelves help reduce clutter by keeping essentials out of sight. Round end tables and nesting sets maximize your surface area while maintaining an open feel, and glass‑top tables create the illusion of more space. Repositionable end tables can also double as nightstands or kitchen snack stations.

Frequently asked questions

What is an end table used for?

End tables provide a practical surface next to a sofa, armchair or bed for items like lamps, drinks and books. Beyond living rooms, they can serve as nightstands, kitchen snack stations or transitional pieces in entryways.

How tall should an end table be?

For a balanced look, choose an end table whose height is within a couple of inches of your sofa’s arm — typically 20–30 inches high. This ensures easy reach and visual harmony.

Do end tables offer storage?

Many end tables feature drawers or shelves for storing remotes, magazines and other small items. Storage-ready tables are ideal for small spaces where clutter needs to be kept under control.

What is the difference between an end table and a side or accent table?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, end tables are typically placed beside seating to provide a functional surface. Accent tables can be located anywhere and are primarily decorative.

Can an end table be used as a nightstand?

Absolutely. End tables with drawers or shelves make excellent nightstands in bedrooms, especially when space is limited. Their compact design keeps essentials close while maintaining a tidy look.
