Useful in many different functions, cast iron tables can be placed around the living room to enable you and your guests to comfortable rest drinks or plates and other items. Alternatively, you can use end tables to display some of your favorite ornaments. The interesting character of cast iron end tables can liven up your home while also providing practical uses. Here are some of the designs you can look at when shopping around for an end table.
Square cast iron end tables
It's important to look at the rest of the décor and designs in your home to determine which type of cast iron table suits your room the best. A square table top is ideal if your home is modern and already has many square or rectangular items. The square top is sometimes made of a softer material such as oak wood, or it may be cast iron like the rest of the table frame and legs.
Round cast iron end tables
The warmer circular shape of cast iron tables can often suited to your kitchen more than any other room in the house, and are suited to more traditionally designed homes where the décor may generally be soft and rounded. This design will either come with a different color or material framing the edges for extra detail, or a solid material and color across the whole table top. When buying a round end table, ensure you know how to clean the specific material and which products may not be safe to use.
Cast iron end tables featuring intricate designs
Many cast iron tables have been created with ornamental and intricate designs on the legs and frame of the piece. The shaped legs are well suited in homes where there may not already be much intricacy or detail. The more detail the table has, the more attention you will need to pay to where you place it in your home. If it has a lot of detail, it can be used as a centerpiece in the living room.
Cast iron end tables with an antique finish
Another type of design you will see is the cast iron tables with a touch of antique. These are normally very elegant and the perfect choice for homeowners looking for something very sophisticated. The frame and legs are usually cast iron, while the table top may either be a light cast iron or glass. A gold or rose gold frame around the edges of the table top give the beautiful antique look.
Rustic and natural cast iron end tables
Cast iron legs that lead up to a gorgeous rustic wooden table top are the ingredients of another popular design for end tables. Perfectly suited to homes that may have a shabby chic or natural look about them, this design is both sturdy and subtle. If you don't like the idea of cast iron all the way through, this is a great way to balance out the look, so you can still get the benefit of the durable cast iron but with a softer and more natural appearance.
