Designer Advice:
Depending on its location, you can use your corner telephone table in different ways. For example, if next to your front door, the top surface is ideal to have your purse and small belongings at hand. In your living room, on the other hand, it’d be wise to prioritize more decorative items. In fact, how about using it for some flowers or a plant, too?
Modern telephone table
Zipcode Design™
Its clean lines and the dark wood of the pecan finish are perfect for modern interiors. The lighter brown design, on the contrary, would be a wiser choice in more contemporary or Scandinavian rooms. Place it in a corner, or use it as an end table.

Simple corner telephone table
22” tall, this table relies on a small round surface: it really looks as if it were made to keep an old-school phone at hand. This, together with its distressed metal design, allows you to nod to its vintage origins while complementing your contemporary needs.
Designer Advice:
Figure out exactly what you need your new telephone table for before choosing a model. For instance, such a basic design is a game-changer in small settings. You could use it to showcase a statement piece, a limited selection of decorative items, a plant, or to enjoy a drink while sitting down. If you’re running out of storage space, however, it’d make more sense to choose a table with shelves.
Corner telephone table with storage
This 28” corner telephone table offers a combination of closed and open storage. Display your most aesthetically pleasing items on the top surface and bottom shelf. The small drawer is perfect for small utilitarian pieces instead. Complement your furniture by choosing among five different finishes.
1950 telephone table with seat
This vintage bench-style telephone table with seat is a real statement piece. It measures 40” in length, so make sure you have enough space for it. Its delightful mid-century modern design is available in dark walnut with a gray cushion or a more contemporary gray wash with a blue seat.
Designer Advice:
A 1950 or 1940 telephone table with seat will allow you to homage the story behind these furniture pieces. Even though we doubt you’d use it for an actual phone, it’ll still inspire a nostalgic feel in your living room. Alternatively, place it in your entryway to gain an additional seat when getting your shoes on and off.
