Decorating with side tables is a great way to add character to a space. From the numerous shapes, textures, and color variations available, there is a style available for any room. You can marry the beauty of this piece with its functionality when they serve as a resting place for that cup of coffee. In other cases, when side tables don’t have a functional purpose, they can act as beautiful sculptures.

I love to use side tables as a singular element that draws attention to a corner. Most of the time, I style them bare. But I often use side tables to showcase a vase with seasonal branches or small decorative elements. Below is an example of how I style this gorgeous wooden side table. When changing things around the house, consider styling your side tables with tall branches for an added vertical element that brings some drama to your scene.
