Adopt the latest trends with beautiful side tables
The centerpiece of your living room
The transformative effect of stunning side tables deserves to be celebrated. Although small, side tables can be statement-making in themselves and have the power to elevate a room. More than simply side pieces, attractive accent tables can be the star of the show. These convenient furniture pieces are an excellent place to start if you want to update your living room or play with a new trend.
Browse the stylish, functional designs
Aside from the visual appeal, side tables have plenty of functionality. On a practical level, enjoy lounging in the living room with your phone, glasses and coffee where you need them, right by your side. You can also create a mini bookcase, house a lamp, showcase decor, make a drinks stand, a pot plant stand and plenty more.
Side & lamp tables to suit every space
Accent tables can be used well beyond the living space. Adopt one as your bedside table for your lamp, novel and water glass. Place one in the hallway or by the door for your keys, handbag and dog lead. Transport a round side table to the balcony to enjoy your morning coffee. Perfect for entertaining, you might even use one for the cheeseboard and nibbles when friends pop over.
A subtle companion or a statement piece
Depending on your preferred style, accent tables can blend and complement other furniture, or they can stand out as the central focal point of the room. Browse the exquisite showroom for styles that range from minimalist to bold and classic to contemporary. From natural wood textures to bright monochromes, you can choose the level of impact that suits you.
Coordinating colours in your living room
Coordinate your living space by pairing your tables with the rest of the furniture. Natural wood, wood veneers and rattan will inevitably suit other natural furniture. Depending on your colour palettes, black and white finishes are generally easy to tie back to console tables, shelving, entertainment units and bookcases.
Consider a set of nesting tables for maximum versatility and coordinating style. Enjoy a round coffee table and side table of the same style that consolidate underneath each other for space-saving practicality..
Designs and features to look out for
Select from designs that offer a single tabletop or two or three tiers of storage shelving. The extra shelves can be used as a bookcase or a place to store pottery, plants or barware. Alternate what you decide to feature on the top or keep it clear for easy, everyday use.
Find the right size and shape
When choosing your design, consider where it will go. How much floor space do you have, and how will the design work with nearby sofas, armchairs, footstools and ottomans? If placed against a wall, try a rectangular style. A round style might work best for an end table or coffee table.
Popular styles in New Zealand
Customers across New Zealand love adopting the latest trends to give their living spaces a contemporary lift. For those drawn to a minimalist silhouette, you can’t go wrong with the popular Zander, Avalon or Edmond designs. Styles like the Vigo and Sadie continue to trend, with the popularity of a mix of natural wood grains and solid blocks of monochrome colour. The metal framing of styles like the Dakota and Detroit is a New Zealand favourite. And, of course, the timeless versatility of the Georigia and Hamptons continue to make them bestsellers.
Design Trends of 2023
This year sees some exciting new styles at the top of the wishlist. Drum and column-shaped tables are on the scene. The Eve collection makes a statement with a ribbed column body and textured style. Frederick and Victor's carved solid wood drum style uses modern sculptural shaping for a unique point of difference.
Companion Furniture
One way to achieve an effortless synergy is to purchase multiple pieces within the same range. Pair your Edmond table with the matching console, entertainment unit, cabinet, and buffets for a rich walnut look that embodies refinement. Pair your Zander table with the matching dining table, chairs and bench seat for a bold aesthetic that’s modern and chic.

FAQ’s:
What materials are side tables made with?
In crafting Mocka home furniture, we always use high-quality, reliable materials to ensure you get the most from your purchase. Many materials can make a sturdy, durable table. These include wood, rattan, metal, MDF, particle board and more.
What dimensions will fit my space??
Before going through the checkout, ensure your side table will fit comfortably within your space. Check the individual item specifications for reference. It should be the same height or slightly lower than your armrest or bed frame. Any higher is likely to feel uncomfortable.
