If Tables Could Talk

In interior design, tables are more than just furniture; they’re storytellers of style and functionality. Let’s dive into the world of tables, where beauty and practicality coexist.

Coffee Tables: So, the story goes:  originally a dining table…until F. Stuart Foote, President of the Imperial Furniture Company, cut the legs off of a dining table and placed it in front of a sofa so his wife could have a centerpiece for a party!

Coffee tables are the unsung heroes of the living room, blending style and convenience. Here are some tips for finding the perfect match:

• Size Matters (yes, it does!): Your coffee table should complement your sofa, ideally half its length. We once had a coffee table as long as the sofa. With chairs placed at the side, it was almost impossible to get around. Watching our friends bump shins and curse quickly convinced us to buy a table that was the right size.
• Material Mix: From chic glass to rustic wood, choose materials that reflect your taste.

Side Tables: or is it a Plant Stand / Mini Bar / Bookshelf / Pet Bed / Charging Station or Night Stand?  Whichever use you choose…

Side tables are essential for convenience. Here’s how to choose the right one:

• Height Harmony: Ensure your side table is slightly lower than your seating for easy reach.
• Space Savvy: Place it within arm’s reach, no more than 3 inches away.

Dining Tables: Photoluminescent, Live Edge, Resin, Stone, Glass or Concrete!  Let your imagine run wild.

Dining tables are the heart of your dining space. Make sure they take center stage and may be a conversation starter:

• Fit for the Feast: Choose a table size that balances your space, not too small or too big. We had a table that was too long for the room, and we had to move chairs to get around. It was a hassle that taught us the importance of the right size.
• Round Charm: Round tables bring cohesion and elegance to dining rooms.

Choosing the right table is an art. Let your space tell its unique story through the tables you select. Whether you’re sipping coffee, reaching for the remote, or enjoying a feast, let your tables be the stylish companions that make your space uniquely yours.
