Modern Accent Tables

What Is An Accent Table?

Accent tables are versatile pieces of furniture that combine practicality with style, making them essential for modern homes. These tables often act as a decorative focal point, ideal for showcasing your favorite accents like a modern lamp or a vase filled with fresh flowers.

Beyond aesthetics, they provide a convenient surface for holding items like books, beverages, or even remote controls. Whether placed next to your sofa or as a standalone statement piece, accent tables bring both functionality and character to any living space.

What Styles of Accent Tables Are Popular?

Modern accent tables come in a wide variety of styles to suit different tastes. Minimalist designs with clean lines are a favorite for contemporary spaces, while mid-century modern options add a timeless touch.

For those looking to make a statement, bold geometric shapes or mixed-material tables featuring wood, glass, and metal are increasingly popular.

Additionally, modern farmhouse and Scandinavian designs are becoming more common, offering a cozy yet minimalist aesthetic. These styles often feature natural materials, light finishes, and subtle textures that blend seamlessly into various decor themes.

How Do I Choose the Right Size Accent Table?

Choosing the right size accent table depends on the dimensions of your space and the furniture it complements. A side table should typically align with the height of your sofa arm, while coffee tables work best when they’re proportional to your seating arrangement.

Measure your space carefully and consider the scale of your existing furniture to ensure a balanced look.

Can Accent Tables Provide Storage?

Yes, many modern accent tables are designed with storage solutions in mind, making them both practical and stylish. You can find options with built-in drawers, shelves, or hidden compartments, ideal for decluttering your space while keeping essentials close at hand. These tables are perfect for stowing away small items while maintaining your living space aesthetic. 

Look for designs that complement your decor, whether you prefer sleek modern lines or rustic charm, ensuring your storage solution enhances your living room's overall feel. 

If you want a side table with storage included, here are some options we recommend: 

• Monolit Oak Small Side Table
• Nordic Oak Coffee Table
• Sitka Side Table
• Conic Box Table

How Do I Style My Accent Table?

Styling your accent table is an opportunity to showcase your personality and design aesthetic. Start with a functional piece, like a table lamp or a sleek tray to organize small items. Add layers by stacking books or magazines with visually appealing covers, then incorporate decorative accents such as vases, candles, or small sculptures to add character.

Mixing textures—such as wood, glass, and metal—can create a balanced and intriguing display. Consider seasonal decor, like fresh flowers in spring or festive ornaments during the holidays, to keep the look dynamic and engaging.
