Although it may not be the center of attention of your décor, an end table is crucial to the style and functionality of your home. Besides adding visual balance to a living room or bedroom set, an end table can add a touch of elegance and grace to the space in its own quiet way, holding a reading light, remote control, snake plant, or as a place to set beverages. Bidsquare’s online auctions carries a wide variety of end tables for sale, including antique end tables, vintage end tables, and custom-made accent tables with a vintage flair. Aside from adding functionality and style to your room, end tables are great decor choices to add a special touch of charm.
You can outfit your space with the perfect end table by finding the right style and size that fits your room.
End Tables Styles
Transitional styles: Streamline your living room with a mix of eclectic, transitional side tables that combine traditional and modern styles. Transitional side tables work beautifully in coastal, boho, country French, and other neutral-toned spaces. Consider more modern forms without going too contemporary by choosing materials that are familiar to you.
Traditional and old-world styles: The classic styles and materials of traditional homes, such as natural wood, blend beautifully together. If your space needs more color or visual texture, you can choose painted or patterned options.
Mid-century and retro-inspired looks: The look of vintage reclaimed wood and worn metal lends a classic touch to any living space. Besides being functional and fashionable, vintage mid-century modern end tables can also provide easy access to your important items in your living room.
Contemporary end tables: Modern homes need contemporary end tables with bold shapes, modern materials, and sleek designs. If you are looking for an end table with minimal styling, look for options with clean lines or with ultra-small dimensions.
End Table Configurations
Having functional end tables that are part of your overall design is important in every part of your home. Bidsquare offers a variety of end table configurations, including:
