6 Must-Have Objects To Decorate The Side Table

From keeping the coffee mug, spectacles, and mobile phone, to books, the side table or end table works as a crucial furniture piece in our homes. But many a time, this functional furniture object gets overburdened or neglected treatment for no particular reason.

Side tables when defined and decorated correctly can serve as a statement piece and enhance the seating and vibe of the chosen room or area!

Side Table Decor Ideas

No matter what style side table you select for your living room, lounge room, or bedroom; you can include these essential objects (as per requirements and the available surface of the side tables) to elevate this reliable item in your home:

Decor Tray

Commonly a side table serves as a handy surface to place your phones, glasses, and other essentials. You can add a decorative tray to keep such frequently-used objects systematically. Ideally, select a side table that includes a mini drawer wherein you can keep the not-so-appealing-looking things like medicines, bills, papers, etc inside it and allow the surface of the side table to be clear and sorted.

Table Lamp

There is nothing like enjoying a quiet evening sitting on a couch or bed with a soothing light source beside you. A side table often serves as a dependable surface to keep the table lamps. Select an attractive table light that can add immediate focus and attention to the corner spaces wherein you have placed the beautiful side table. If you wish to add two side tables beside the seating or bed, then create a mirror effect by adding identical table lamps over it!

Photo Frames

It may seem like a common decor object to place on a side table, but it works and how! Select the picture of your choice, nestle it in a beautiful photo frame and simply beautify the side table in the most personalized way possible!

Books

Books make the most interesting and thoughtful objects to elevate the look of even the simplest-looking end tables. If you are an avid reader, then you already understand the importance of using books as a decor object and if not, then get a couple of books (it's ok to pick books which have attractive jackets or covers) from the nearest book store at a discounted price and beautify the side table. You never know, you may become a book lover with this offbeat act of yours!

Curio or Memorabilia

You can be a little more creative and add something uncommon on the side table! So next time you travel, get some attractive souvenirs and curios to decorate your space and place that one interesting object to decorate the side table. Or, add memorabilia that you have a deep connection and memories attached to it. It could be a vintage, heirloom, or a rare piece!

Mini Plants

Plants make the humblest and budget-friendly object to decorate any surface including the end tables. Select attractive-looking mini plants, succulents from the plant nursery and place them in eye-catchy planters. If dedicating to real plants is not a choice for you, then pick quality faux plants and decorate the side table.
