Coffee tables, end tables and consoles

No matter what you call them — occasional tables, end tables, or side tables, accent tables are an easy way to add color and flair to a room.

Coffee tables, also called cocktail tables, are essential in front of a sofa or sectional, giving you a place to set your drink or lay your book, or keep the remote. Coffee tables are traditionally rectangular but also can be found in round and square shapes.

End tables are essential in a family room or bedroom. Placed at the end of a couch or the side of a chair or bed, they're perfect for lamps or decorative items. Nesting tables fill the need for extra tables without taking up extra space every day.
