Upgrade to Side Tables With Shelves

Home furnishings that come with extra built-in storage are infinitely more useful than those that don't, especially in small homes where every inch of space counts. Side tables with shelves feature the basic tabletop surface that all tables have, but they also come with an additional lower shelf for storing decorative items or household necessities. These handy tables come in gorgeous contemporary styles which look great in any modern room around the home.

End Tables with Shelves

Small round or square end tables are extremely useful items to have in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms. In the living room, these tables are generally placed on either end of the sofa or next to an armchair< as a spot to set down a drink. The extra lower shelf can hold a decorative basket filled with magazines and remote controls or a small decorative figurine. In hallways, side tables with shelves are a lovely decorative accent and can hold anything from a faux flower arrangement to picture frames, candles or family heirlooms.

Side tables with shelves are also an unconventional yet useful addition to bedrooms. If traditional nightstands don't fit your design plan, these modern side tables can take their place. The top shelf can hold a lamp for reading and the bottom shelf is perfect for a stack of books. Pick up a matching set and place one on either side of the bed to create aesthetically pleasing symmetry in the room.

Storage Coffee Tables

Oval and rectangular tables with extra storage make great coffee tables. Since the living room is generally a high-traffic area, the lower storage shelf is sure to get a lot of use.
