The End Table - A Perfect Storage Solution For Small Spaces
With new home construction on the rise, the average size of the American home is growing because most new houses are larger than their predecessors. But, for those of us with smaller homes, we know that space is a hot commodity which should be used to its fullest potential. Storage is almost always an issue and finding a piece of furniture, like a compact end table, that gives you more storage space and provides a decorative feature in your home is worth its weight in gold.
Anyone with dogs knows that a coffee table is not always convenient—let alone practical. Wagging tails often brush the tops of tables and send glasses, candles, and anything else imaginable crashing to the floor. For this reason, it is common for the quality coffee table to be eliminated from the décor while giving our four-legged friends more room to move about. In such a situation, premium end tables are positively priceless because they provide space to set a drink or store magazines without the bulkiness of a coffee table. When children are in the picture, this same “furniture tactic” works great to alleviate sharp corners in a small space.
Corner end tables are perfect for saving valuable space. These handy tables fit snuggly into a corner yet still provide us with precious storage space. The corner-shaped end table can be the perfect place to set a reading lamp. However, if you are more into displaying collectables or perhaps adding a touch of nature with your premium end table, think outside the box and instead consider a tiered étagère with plenty of room for plants, books, or whatever objects you wish to display.
The simple fact is that we all cannot afford those huge homes in the beginning and our furnishings must match our budget and surroundings. Although we would love to have a living room fully apportioned with end tables, sofas, and all the furnishings found in our parents’ home, space constraints force us to compromise. When coffee tables are not an option for the living room but you still need a space to set drinks and entertain guests, end tables are the perfect compromise. Just be sure to select end tables that will possibly fit into larger spaces and décor styles when you do finally move into one of those new, larger homes.
Convenience plays a definite role in the coziness of a home. Finding a set of end tables that fit your style and your space is as easy as shopping online. Making it easy to view dozens of styles at once, and compare prices side by side, the Internet has made online shopping a breeze to find exactly what you want—no matter how big—or small—your living space happens to be!
