Skinny Narrow Sofa Table
If you could do with an additional surface but have already run out of space against your living room walls, narrow sofa tables are the most logical solution.
They’ll only sacrifice the most minimal floor real estate by relying on the back of your couch. Not only that, but they’ll help you reinforce your interior inspiration, too.
While we’re about to share some tips to match your decor with these sofa tables, there are two things you should do before you start browsing them:
● Measure your available space and the back of the sofa: to ensure a balanced result, your new table should be slightly lower than the back of your couch, and it most definitely shouldn’t be longer
● Decide if you only need the top surface or additional storage space too, as some sofa tables come with more open shelves and drawers

Skinny sofa table in a contemporary design
Monochrome models with clean lines and a streamlined design are a match made in heaven for contemporary rooms.
Alternatively, another trick is to choose a narrow sofa table with glass elements: the latter can also help you make that area appear wider than it is.
Mid century modern narrow console table behind couch
There are several ways to match your mid-century modern furniture with your new narrow sofa table. For example, choose darker and warmer wood finishes instead of more contemporary lighter options.
As for designs, try and emphasize their horizontal length with shorter but longer lines. Outward-pointing legs are especially popular for console-style sofa tables.
Traditional narrow sofa table
If you have a traditional living room, your narrow sofa table should maintain a cozy and casual but curated feel. As well as lighter and natural-looking wood finishes, neutral colors like black, gray, and white are key.
Psst. X-shaped elements (especially on the sides) will reinforce this popular style even further.

Thin table in a distressed wood finish
An aged style on a wooden sofa table works wonders with several interior styles, and especially the following three: coastal (perhaps consider including some beach colors like in this model with light blue and ochre shades), shabby chic (focus on white elements and harmonious lines), and French country (a distressed painted finish is also a popular alternative).
French country narrow sofa table
Similarly to shabby chic, narrow sofa tables for a French country style living room can also be as ornate as you wish.
Whether with cabriole legs or more decorative lines, just aim to balance the rustic coziness of the countryside with a touch of French grandeur.
Industrial narrow sofa table behind couch
Matching your industrial living room with your new narrow sofa table couldn’t be easier: you can simply choose a wood and dark metal build with clean symmetrical lines and a minimalist design.
It will immediately add to the rawness that characterizes this unique and increasingly popular style.
Art deco or Hollywood regency thin sofa table
With both these interior styles, you get to be as opulent and adventurous as you wish: no matter what your minimalist friend says, nothing is ‘too much’ in art deco or Hollywood regency homes!
We especially recommend going overboard with golden, glass, or mirror finishes.
Rustic or farmhouse thin table behind couch
When it comes to rustic inspiration, nothing works better than good old wood. You can even decide to reinforce a cozy lived-in feel by opting for a slightly distressed style.
While a natural wood finish can work just as well on its own, consider experimenting with white or muted neutral colors in farmhouse interiors.

Skinny sofa table in a minimalist design
Clean lines and a lack of ornate elements is the winning combination if you’re choosing a sofa table for a minimalist living room.
While a couple of souvenirs or decorative items won’t hurt, we recommend avoiding additional open shelves: that way, you won’t run the risk of creating a cluttered feel in the long run.
Scandi skinny table behind couch
A minimalist approach will work with Scandinavian interiors too, but you should also strive for a cozier and more natural look.
For example, you could incorporate a light wood finish and complement it with a color from a natural palette (such as white, yellow, dark blue, gray, or forest green).

Our advice Buying Guide
A narrow sofa table can make use of those odd bits of space that seem to develop around a sofa or couch. They come or can be made in several different styles, from a handy laptop table to a narrow chest of drawers for the sofa that is a free-standing divider between a living room and dining room space. The tables come in all sorts of skill levels from a simple stand that creates a shelf behind a couch to an amazingly elaborate piece of furniture.
What are the most popular designs of narrow sofa tables?
Narrow Laptop Table
A nicely finished wood table top fastened to an L shaped metal stand can easily add functionality to your couch. It can be positioned by the end of the couch as an end table or slid under the side to act as a work table or in from the front to serve as a shared table for drinks or a bowl of popcorn or chips.
Simple Table Stand
A long, narrow table, six to 12 inches wide can be placed behind a sofa, providing a surface for a vase, a handy box of tissues, or similar items. Since it is not accessible from the back, it does not have shelving or drawers – just a sturdy stand to keep the shelf area elevated.
Chest of Drawers or Set of Shelves
Six to eight inches is enough space in which to create a bookshelf or a set of drawers. The couch or sofa is often used as a divider between a kitchen and dining room area. A set of drawers on the backside of it is an ideal place to keep the good silver, placing it near at hand to the dining room table. Shelving is handy for a lot of different things, but for a household that reads, it can become an ancillary bookcase.
What are narrow sofa tables made of?
These small tables can be made from any material that is normally used to make tables, including metal, glass, wood or plastic and chrome. Unfinished tables provide an opportunity to stain or paint your table to match the rest of your furniture.
What are some alternative uses of a narrow sofa table?
A narrow sofa table can also be used as a slender credenza along the side of a small dining room, or it can be used as a hallway table. In both these cases, a nicely made unit with drawers can be welcome. It can provide an excellent surface for a basket of mail or a tray for keys and wallet. The drawers might contain those seldom needed items, such as candles and matches for emergency power outages, or a flashlight and small umbrella.
A narrow sofa table can be used in almost any place where you need a low shelf or a small bit of storage that is not otherwise available. If well anchored to the wall, it could even be used in a child’s room for those small supplies or toys that seem to have difficulty finding a home.
