If you are shopping for narrow end tables, you might get dizzy seeing the huge variety of options. Here’s a little guide to help you with your selection. It might not be the easiest shopping decision you’ve made. But spending the extra time selecting a narrow end table ensures that you put that unused corner to good use while adding some polish to your room décor.

What are the different uses for narrow end tables?

There’s much more to narrow end tables than being considered an easy-to-reach landing spot for your cocktails, keys and other sundry details. When done right, they are the easiest way to accentuate the aesthetics of a room.

Not to mention that they add some much-needed functionality to that wee bit of space at the end of your bed or couch. A space that would otherwise be underutilized or not used at all.

What shape end table should you get?

Narrow end tables are called so because they have a very small footprint and have to be accommodated in limited space. But there’s no reason why you cannot experiment with the shape. If you have a round coffee table or accent table in the room, opt for a rectangular end table, or an oval one. It helps to create a counterpoint and adds some visual interest. And if you prefer to stick to tables of the same shape, there’s a whole lot of different materials to choose from. Mix things up as long as you are able to create a balanced theme.

How to style with narrow end tables?

Use complementary styles but different materials to create a contemporary looking living space. For example, wood and metal are a great combination and complement each other nicely. If you are looking for two narrow end tables, one can be a brass or marble, whilst the other can be rosewood. It’s not written in stone that you need matching end tables at both ends of a sofa or couch. As long as the materials and styles blend together, the sky is the limit for someone with an eye for design.

What's the optimal height for an end table?

Selecting tables that are same height as the arms of the sofa or the mattress of the bed allows you to easily reach out to it. If you are unable to find one that matches your décor needs and the space, pick an end table that’s slightly smaller than the armrests. Nesting tables work great if you want to break the rule here. The smaller table can be pulled out slightly when you want to use it. They also work great if you have an armless sofa. Nesting tables also create a visual effect of depth. Coming to the ideal depth, anything lesser than 24” is a safe bet. It doesn’t interrupt with your movement as you get in and out of bed or the couch.

Bonus tip: If you are one of those people who’s always short of storage space at home, look for a table that has integrated storage. It can hide the many things that otherwise clutter a well-decorated living space.
