Choosing Right Accent Table

Following are some tips for choosing the right accent table for your home, whether you live in a spacious manor or an efficiency apartment:

Set a budget
Accent tables are available at nearly any price pint and it's easy to get carried away. As you're choosing the right accent table, remember that it's just one piece of furniture. Setting a budget can help you narrow your choices more quickly. Be sure to factor in the cost of shipping as well as gas if you're driving to pick it up. Many online retailers offer free shipping, however, a big advantage if you're counting pennies.

Take measurements

Without having the table in your home, it's easy to overlook its size and scale. Accent tables come in all sizes so you want to make sure when choosing the right accent table, particularly online, that it will fit into the space you have in mind. Pay particular attention to the measurements provided by the company regarding the piece. Don't just look at the width or diameter, either. Double check the height as well as there is no standard height for these tables. You don't want to get one that is too low or too high.

Select a style

If you can think up a style of furniture, there's a table to match it. The shape and style is largely set by the other pieces you have in the room. Of course, there's some latitude when choosing the right accent table, since by its very nature it's designed to stand out a bit. Just know that you want it to complement and add to the look of the room, not detract from it.
