How to Style End Tables in a Modern Space
Styling your modern living room end table should feel effortless. Start with one or two design-forward pieces—a sculptural lamp, a textured ceramic, or a stack of books with a tray on top. Keep the surface open and edited to let the materiality of the table shine.
To create cohesion, echo elements from your coffee table or console—wood tone, metal finish, or form. If you're using a pair of end tables, consider asymmetrical styling to keep the look dynamic. And for multi-functional layouts, opt for tables that can double as stools, plant stands, or even compact nightstands.
