Now that you know why side tables are an important part of your furniture cluster, there are few aspects or factors you need to look at before buying one.

What to look for in a bedside table before buying one

Clearly, side tables are the unsung heroes of your home. From the bedroom, living room, dining space and even the entryway or lounge, they spruce up the space like no other furniture can do. While picking out the perfect side table for your home might seem like an easy task, it can get quite overwhelming to shop from a plethora of styles, materials, shapes and sizes.

Here is a list of factors you need to keep in mind before stepping out for side table hunting:

1. Style

The first and foremost category is style. There are so many different styles of side tables to choose from, that the task of choosing the right one for your home can actually become quite daunting. Here's looking at various styles for every kind of home:

• Traditional- Traditional side tables give a sense of timeless appeal. Generally made using high quality wood, traditional tables feature intricate designs on the legs and even on the table top sometimes. The best way to style them is using a traditional lampshade and some fresh flowers.

• Modern- Modern styles empathize on clear lines and minimal designs. They blend a sense of style and comfort all into one. Take a look at our Urban Deco Prism Side Table. This classic glass top side table has rose gold metal finish in the legs, which is characteristic of modern side tables. You can usually find marble, metal and neutral colored finishing in modern side table designs.
• Mid-century modern- Mid-century modern styles depict clean lines, grainy textures and soft curves. Most modern homes today feature mid-century modern style furniture made of warm wood or marble.
• Transitional style- As the name denotes, a transitional style blends both traditional styles and modern contemporary elements. You might want a side table with storage or want a simple four legged rustic side table, it all depends on the space you want to put together.

2. Size

The next and the most important aspect is the size of the side table. Whether you want a narrow side table or a small side table, depends on the kind of space you have. For a smaller apartment, you can go for a round side table or a glass side table, that will make the space look bigger. And for a big space, you can buy multiple side tables and create a cluster.

3. Height

The height of the side table is also important. Too long a table will make the space appear out of symmetry and too small the height will not bring out its aesthetics. Ideally, if you are buying a side table for your living room, it should be within 2 inches of your sofa's arm height.

The same rule applies for your bedroom as well. The height of a standard sofa ranges from 24 to 32 inches. So, you can measure the height of the side table accordingly. In case you have a lounge chair without arms, you can always go for side tables that are shorter in height.

4. Shape

You can get a side table in every possible shape you can imagine. Of course, many abstract shapes have to be customized. But there is no denying the fact that side tables look great in any shape. You can never go wrong with a round side table. It looks fabulous in any space. For bringing an element of balance to your room, you can opt for square or oval side tables. The best part about plonking a side table in any corner is that you don't need to worry much about styling it. Pretty much any piece of decor or even a simple lamp shade would look great.

5. Functionality

Last but not the least is the functionality of the table. Owning a furniture that serves you multiple purposes is the best thing ever. And side tables too can be utilized to store, display or be used as a coffee table. If you prefer side tables with storage, you can buy side tables with drawers or with multiple shelves. This way you can store away magazines, remotes, games and tablets and display beautiful decor pieces on the shelves.

With so many types of side tables to choose from, the next question that might pop in your mind is, how to use side tables creatively? Well, here are some tips for you

• Use it solely to display your green babies- A great way to style and use a side table is to display live plants. Place your greens or fresh flowers in a tall vase. This also creates the illusion of a taller table.

Keeping these styling tips handy can help with adorning your side tables in different ways every day.

• Vases- Tall vases lend such a timeless appeal to a space. Especially if you have a small side table, using a longish vase with fresh flowers can totally transform the table. It will give the illusion of a taller table, which in turn creates a beautiful symmetry.

• Lampshade- Use a signature lampshade and you won't need anything else to style your side table. The right kind of lampshade can even turn the most boring side table into a central piece. For a darker background, you can choose a metal based lamp shade with gold or silver finish. The same applies for your bedroom as well. If you have two side tables, you can place two table lamps to create a balance
• Flowers (faux or real)-The simplest and the most elegant way to spruce up a space is by using flowers. If you have access to natural ones, you can use them by properly cutting the stems and dipping them in water. In case you are using artificial ones, remember to keep them clean.
• Photo frames- A great way to use your side tables is to display your family pictures. Stack up multiple frames in a decreasing order to make them look symmetrical.
• Candles- To lend a warm vibe to your home, place candles of varying height together.

Handling instructions

A furniture lasts years if cared for properly. However, every material demands a different kind of care. Here is a list of care instructions that will help you maintain your furniture for years:

• Always keep the surface of the side table clean. Use a lint free cotton cloth to clean the table top.
