Let’s be honest—if you already have a coffee table, you don’t technically need a side table. But let’s also be real: side tables are such a fun and functional addition to any living room or home decor setup. Personally, I love having one nearby because I absolutely hate reaching all the way forward just to grab my drink. Maybe that’s just me being lazy—but hey, convenience matters! And beyond the practicality, when styled right, a side table can really elevate your interior design and act as a standout statement piece.
As usual, I’ll be sharing a variety of side table options to suit all kinds of tastes and budgets—but most importantly, I’ll be spotlighting the ones that you can snag for a banging deal. Because who doesn’t love getting a stylish furniture piece without breaking the bank?
One of the things that makes decorating with side tables so much fun is how creative you can get with them. Through my extensive (and let’s be honest, probably excessive) doom scrolling on TikTok, I’ve seen people use everything from stacked cinder blocks to actual tree trunks as side tables. It really all depends on the aesthetic and vibe you’re going for.
Lately, I’ve been super into the abstract, sculptural side table designs made from heavy-duty plastic, acrylic, or resin. They come in such a wide range of color combinations, and when you place a lamp on or near them, the whole piece seems to glow. It’s such a cool, modern touch that adds personality and a little visual drama to the space.
Whether you’re looking for a minimalist side table, something boho, or a bold and modern piece, side tables are a great way to add function and style to your space. Keep reading—I’ve rounded up some affordable side table picks you won’t want to miss!
Alrighty! We are going to start simple yet so freaking good! This side cart from IKEA is actually perfect! Not only does it provide a nice, neat design, but it can also serve as great storage. And if you don’t like it as a side table, you could also make it an alcohol cart!
This is what I am talking about right here! This bad boy is a little bit pricey at about 75 dollars on Amazon, but this will definitely stand out and make a statement in your space.
It honestly is a very simple design, but something about it really works. Most people I have seen buying this go for the orange, but to me the blue is perfect! On this link there are a bunch of colors to choose from, so be creative!
If you are looking for something a little more reserved but still very tasteful, this side table is what you’re looking for.
Personally, I would have thrown the books on the bottom, but yenno, just do as you please. End of the day, this is a super neat-looking side table that I would love to throw down some wooden coasters and sip on my coffee in the morning (just trying to set the vibe for you).
Okay if I’m being honest, this one is a “if you have the money, might as well” kind of piece!
This piece is honestly super expensive, but it’s just too cool to leave out because it’s so unique! All I’m saying is, if you walk into a room, this will without a doubt stand out.
You can get it from Urban Outfitters, but they overprice everything—but it is on SALE, so like I said, if you got it like that, do it!
Thank you for listening to me go on and ramble about cool pieces I like! For the 10 people that read this for some reason I am sorry that you choose this as source of entertainment but if you got questions don’t hesitate to HOLLA AT YA BOY!
