Side Tables

The right size depends on where the table will live and how you want to use it. Beside a sofa or armchair, aim for a height that sits roughly level with, or just below, the armrest – this makes it easy to reach for a drink, book or lamp without feeling awkward. In most living rooms, widths between about 40 and 55 cm work well, leaving enough surface for essentials without dominating the space.

For bedrooms, a side table that’s close to the height of the mattress often feels most comfortable as a bedside piece. Measure your available width and depth carefully, and allow a little breathing room between the table and neighbouring furniture so everything feels balanced and easy to move around.

Our side tables come in a range of materials and finishes to suit different styles and lifestyles. You’ll find designs in solid wood, metal, glass and stone, including marble-topped options.

Each material brings its own character: wood offers warmth and grain, metal adds a crisp, contemporary edge, glass keeps things light and airy, and stone introduces a sense of quiet luxury. The product description will make it clear what each table is made from so you can choose the finish that best fits your home.

For marble-topped tables, day-to-day care is simple: dust with a soft, dry cloth and wipe spills as soon as they happen. For a deeper clean, use a little warm water with mild soap and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners and abrasive pads, and try to use coasters and placemats to protect the surface from heat, wine, citrus and other potential staining agents.

For wooden side tables, regular dusting with a soft cloth is usually all that’s needed. When marks appear, a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one will generally lift them without affecting the finish. Steer clear of strong cleaners and excessive water, and consider using felt pads under lamps and decorati

Yes, our side tables are often used as bedside tables, provided the height, width, and any storage suit your needs. A good bedside piece should be close to the height of your mattress, with enough surface for a lamp, phone, book and glass of water.

If you like to keep drawers clear of clutter, look for a design with at least one drawer or a shelf. We stock a comprehensive range of Bedside tables.

If you just prefer a lighter look, an open-frame or single-tier table can work beautifully in a minimalist bedroom

Some do, and some don’t, depending on the design. Some of our side tables include a drawer, shelf or lower tier, offering handy space for remotes, magazines, chargers, books or bedside essentials. Others are intentionally simple, a single surface on a sculptural base, perfect if you want to keep the look light and uncluttered.

If storage matters to you, check the product details for mentions of drawers, shelves or internal compartments. Even a small drawer can make a big difference to how tidy the surface stays day to day.
