Some tips for buying a modern end table Remember
the time when people decorated their homes
with sofas, tables, and other furniture
pieces that matched? It made shopping for
furniture easy, but took away a lot in
terms of aesthetic appeal. The rooms often
ended up looking totally predictable with
nothing much going on in terms of creativity and
inspiration. These days, people are more into
taking risks, branching out, and experimenting
with the look of their living areas. Home owners
today are purchasing furniture pieces that
complement one another rather than be a boring
and insipid part of a set. However, for this to
work, people need to know what works and what
does not. This can be a really major issue
when one is considering buying a modern end
table or a back table.
End tables are found on either side of a sofa or
bed you can also place these around the house
and use according to your specific needs. They
are really versatile and are often moved around
from one place to another quite a bit.
When buying a modern end table, you need to keep
certain factors in mind.

• Look at the shape of an end table and choose one
  depending on the area where you plan on placing
  the same. The table should fit in perfectly and
  not look out of place. You can try mixing the
  table shapes in your room to get a nice contrast.
  An oval coffee table can bring out the best in a
  square or rectangular end table. If you decide on
  keeping the same shape for all the side and end
  tables in your room, you might try and experiment
  with the materials.
• A brass end table might look really exquisite in
  a room with wood side tables. You can pair brass
  end tables with a beautifully crafted coffee
  table made from rosewood.
• You can also mix different styles to
  create a visual interest in your room.
  Place a contemporary end table with a
  traditional sofa or a modern side chair
  with a traditional black side table, and
  make your spaces more inviting and
  attractive.
• If you are planning on placing your end tables on
  either side of the sofa, make sure the height of
  the tables is consistent with the height of
  the sofas arms. It looks better and is
  also easier to reach. If you are thinking
  of using them as bedside tables, the height
  should be same as the mattress you use.

When it comes to selecting a modern end table or
any other piece of furniture, there are no hard
and fast rules. Make sure that the table you
choose is of the right size, goes with the other
furniture pieces, and opens up your space. The
idea is to make all the myriad furniture pieces
connect in some way so that there is a balance
and symmetry in your newly renovated rooms.
