When it comes to a living room, everyone gets caught up in the big things like the sofa, but sometimes overlook the smaller details. Some of the smaller supporting stars can have just as much impact on style. One of the best places to start is with the accent tables.
These fun tables compliment the living room by serving as end tables or coffee tables. What I love is how versatile they can be. Not only do they supply a surface for food, drinks, books or decor, but they also can provide extra storage. Style-wise, they can make as bold a statement as you’d like. You can use them to infuse color, texture, pattern and shape into the space.
Don’t go with the first accent table you find. It’s about more than just function (though they are super functional); this great piece of furniture is full of style potential. Here are 10 accent tables with pizzazz to inspire you.
