small tables - ...Browsing by tag

Often I suggest small tables for my interior design projects in Seattle and Portland. I like the interest created and the functional aspect too. Recently I wrote about ‘poufs’ as practical options for seats, tables, and as alternative to the traditional extra seat. Browsing online I happened upon a recent blog by friend and fellow designer, Mark Cutler. A recently completed project was featured in the LA Times, read it here, but my eyes quickly found the seating group with multiple tables. This is an excellent image of the power of tables and of design creativity.

Multiple tables from Mark Cutler Design

From Mark Cutler Design, “In the living room, a collection of eclectic small tables, including a Chinese stool and a Cambodian drum, was used instead of one large coffee table. The grouping is more visually interesting and flexible; the tables can be separated and used in different conversation areas.”

In a more formal area or different aesthetic changing the finish is an option for adding interest. This so called ‘invisible table’ is from Hickory Chair.

Urban Hardwoods is a Seattle based company well known for salvaged materials. I especially like these small tables.

In my Seattle interior design practice I frequently place nesting tables in space challenged interiors. Nesting tables are always a design standard for many reasons. They are space efficient and multifunctional. Two to three tables are sold together and nest in one another. More recently I find tables that stack a fresh alternative. With the popularity of ottoman cocktail tables, the stack table can move to the ottoman for drinks or food and then return as a side table. See the images below as examples:

Both the Alexa Hampton Asian inspired stack tables and the colorfully exotic hand-painted tables from Serena & Lily offer a fresh alternative to the tried and true nesting table.

However, there remains a place for the nesting table. Since the smaller tables slide under the larger tables, they don’t take up any more floor space than a typical end or lamp table. For this reason, they are a great alternative to side tables, as they provide small tables, great for nights where you are entertaining guests, or simply want to enjoy a meal in front of the television. Another application is beside your bed as you can stagger lamp, books, cups or candles.

Do you crave one simple, beautiful space? Wish you had a friend in the design business? We’re here to help.
