Tables

Tables are indispensable in the home. You use them for dining, working, placing things down, or making a corner just a bit more practical. In this collection, you’ll find models for different spaces and living needs. Think of a compact table for a small spot, a robust design as a statement piece, or an airy model that’s easy to combine with other furniture.

A table that suits your space

A good table is more than a practical piece of furniture. It is often a fixed point in the room and largely determines how a space feels and functions. That’s why it’s smart to look not only at the shape, but also at how you’ll use it. If you’re looking for something beside the sofa, take a look at the side tables. For the centre of the seating area, coffee tables are often a natural choice.

When choosing, pay attention to how it relates to the rest of your interior. A large table brings calm if you have enough space. In a smaller room, a slender base or a compact top often works better. That way, the overall look stays light and refined.

Buying guide: what should you look for in tables?

1. Define the use

First ask yourself what you’ll mainly use the table for. A table for everyday use should be sturdy and able to handle a bit of wear and tear. A smaller model for décor or a lamp may look finer and lighter.

2. Choose the right size

Measure the space carefully and leave enough room to walk around it easily. In a seating area, it’s nice if a table is within easy reach without getting in the way. In a dining area, you’ll want enough space left for chairs and movement. If you’re combining a table with new seating, also have a look at our chairs or dining chairs.

3. Pay attention to shape and base

Round tables often make a room feel more inviting and are handy if you have limited walking space. A rectangular model, on the other hand, offers more surface area. The base also makes a difference. An open frame looks spacious, while a fuller design creates more presence.

4. Choose a material that suits you

Wood feels warm and lives beautifully with the interior. Metal gives a cleaner accent and is often easy to combine. A mix of materials creates balance and makes a table suitable for both modern and more country-inspired interior styles.

How to combine tables in the home

You don’t have to place the same table everywhere. A mix in size and height is what makes an interior practical and lively. For example, combine a lower table in the seating area with a small side table next to an armchair. If you need extra storage in the same room, cabinets often go well there too.

Work with recurring materials or colours to keep the overall look calm. Think of wood tones that return in several pieces of furniture, or a black metal detail that appears in different places.

Practical tips for use and care

Use coasters on wooden or lacquered tops to help limit rings and stains. Don’t place a table too close to a heat source so the material stays beautiful. For everyday use, a top with a slight texture is often more practical than a very smooth or delicate surface, because small signs of use are less noticeable.

If you want to decorate a table, keep it simple. A bowl, a stack of books, or a vase is often enough. That way, the top remains usable and the room looks balanced.

FAQ about tables

Which table size fits my space best?

Measure the available space and leave enough room to walk around it. In a small room, a compact model or a table with an open base often works best.

Which table is handy for a seating area?

That depends on your layout. A coffee table is a nice central point, while a side table is useful next to a sofa or chair for a book, cup, or lamp.

How do I combine a table with other furniture?

Choose a material, colour, or shape that returns in the rest of your interior. That way, the table will fit in well with, for example, your chairs, cabinet, or sofa, without everything having to be exactly the same.

Which material is the most practical?

For intensive use, a sturdy top with an easy-care surface is often the best choice. Wood is loved for its warm look, while metal or a mix of materials is often especially practical.
