These terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. End tables typically sit beside sofas or chairs at arm height. Side tables are versatile pieces used anywhere you need a surface—bedrooms, hallways, or living rooms. Accent tables is a broader term encompassing both, plus console tables and other decorative tables that add style and function. All serve to enhance your space while providing convenient surfaces for lamps, drinks, or décor.

Novelty end tables come in every shape, size, and color—but we tend to see two distinct types of novelty tables: artsy, or upscaled. · Upscaled end tables in the novelty vein tend to feature smooth, polished wood carved in interesting shapes, or geometric, angled white fiberboard or melamine that looks like an art installation. · Artsy tables can feature statues of animals, legs that look like trees, small statues of humans holding up your end table or any of a wide variety of other looks! Which type you pick will depend largely on the type of vibe or aesthetic you’re going for in your room.
