Living Room Tables: Mixing, Matching and Lifestyle Considerations

You no longer need to match every table in the room. While cohesion has its place, mixing materials like a white marble cocktail table with a dark metal side table creates a look that feels collected and current.

Shaping Up

Side tables don’t need to be the same shape as your cocktail table. In fact, pairing a square table with a round one, or an oval with an octagonal, adds interest and dimension. Just keep proportions in mind as you mix.

The Purpose

Let lifestyle guide your choices. Hosting cocktail hour? A glass and brass table adds function and style. Need kid-friendly? Upholstered ottomans or round tables reduce sharp corners. Relaxing nights in? Go with durable, stain-resistant finishes.

Keeping It Easy

A matching collection can simplify decisions. If you want harmony and ease, go for a coordinated set of cocktail and side tables. These work well in traditional or transitional spaces.
