No matter what kind of side table or bedside table you’re looking for, you can find it in our Design Directory.

To help you consider your options, we compiled a cheat sheet of some of our favourite styles that are currently on our wishlist below!

Colourful

Leaning into bold colours with smaller-scale furniture like side tables is a great way to inject some personality into a room, without being completely overpowering. The Grazia&Co Studio Side Table is beautifully crafted from solid timber and is available in a range of stains, including a statement red hue that would look brilliant beside any bed.

The Jardan Rhys Side Table is another playful piece that you can tailor to your favourite colour, whether that’s lilac, chocolate, or coral!

Sculptural

Side tables also provide an opportunity to play with unusual and interesting shapes, thanks to their inherent functionality. The elaborate DOMO Wittmann Grain Cut Side Table is a great example, since it can serve as a dramatic sculpture in the corner of the room or as a shelf for your favourite book and a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, the New Volumes Echo features a similarly impressive architectural form, with contemporary voids cut into the curved sides of its terracotta structure.

Minimalistic

If you’re looking for something simple (but striking) to fit into your living room, consider the Tait Voom Side Table. The aluminium table showcases subtle curves and comes in a range of powder coat finishes, but it’s especially great for minimalists since it can be used both inside and outdoors.

Taking inspiration from neoclassicist designs, the SARAH ELLISON. Pièrre Side Table combines rattan details with timber and a tonal marble top. These unique accents are anchored by a slim-line black steel frame that make it easy to style in any room.

Traditional

You know the saying, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’? Well, you can’t go wrong with a classic design like the Eva Hideaway Side Table. Handcrafted from American oak timber, this style is a timeless addition to the living room, bedroom, or anywhere you need a little extra storage.

We also love the Trit House Coast Side Table. The traditional side table is made from natural ivory concrete, giving it a slightly more modern feel and a textural edge.
