Accent tables that add style and storage are a delightful addition to the living room. Shoppers often start with the basics and add accent tables to make a strong statement of their own personal taste. Accent tables can also be used in the bedroom as a vanity table or in the sitting area near a chaise lounge. Discount accent table collections from a wide range of nationally known name brand manufacturers are available online and at conveniently located central New Jersey showrooms in Monmouth County.
Accent Tables vs Occasional Tables
Many people confuse accent tables with occasional tables, but the two could not be more different. Occasional tables are designed to blend in with the existing furniture. They can be part of manufacturer living room collections and are often purchased as part of a coordinated living room set along with the sofas and chairs. On the other hand, accent tables, like other accent pieces, are designed to stand out from the existing décor. They come in a wide variety of materials, from traditional wood to metal and acrylic.
Accent tables are typically small tables that contrast with the living room furniture because of their striking design, an outstanding color, an unusual finish or a material that is very different from the rest of the furniture in the room. For example, a dull gray metal table in a living room with contemporary wood furniture will add an edgy, industrial vibe.
Choosing the Right Accent Table
A high style accent table adds function and flair when you place it in just the right spot. Coffee tables and cocktail tables are the same type of accent furniture with different names. A coffee table is typically a low rectangular table that is placed in front of the sofa. The height should be the same height of your sofa cushions, or an inch or two lower – around 16 to 18 inches high. Most coffee tables extend approximately 2/3 of the length of your sofa. Allow a foot of space or a little more between your coffee table and the seating that surrounds it.
Coffee tables continue to be very popular for the living room, and with good reason. At any given moment you may find magazines, TV remote controls, books and other items on a coffee table, as well as the traditional coffee cup. Some people use the coffee table to serve hors d’oeuvres and drinks before dinner.
Chairside, end and side tables all serve the same purpose in the living room. These accent tables are intended to be placed near your favorite recliner or at the side of a sofa for your convenience. End tables can hold your reading glasses, magazines and books and a cold drink or a cup of tea. Some people add symmetry to the room by placing matching end tables on either side of the sofa. Placing the same style lamp on each end table will add additional symmetry as well as additional lighting. Some chairside end tables feature drawers and a bottom shelf for storage to hide or organize TV remotes and other items.
