Small side tables are perfect accessories for sofas, armchairs or beds. While we're not all lucky enough to have sprawling bedrooms, vast living rooms and statement hallways, there's still a host of stylish side tables that are ideal for beautifully bijou homes.

In compact spaces especially, narrow side tables are a must. Slim side tables with 'legs' work well as it gives the illusion of more space, while mirrored side tables are ideal as they help to bounce light around, and similarly, glass side tables will help to create a light, airy feel.

Wooden side tables are perfect for a modern rustic look and a side table with storage offers the best of both worlds; even if it's just additional space for a few books or magazines.

Side tables are generally small by nature, but even the smallest side table can hold a book, drink or a plant pot. They can be used practically for a cup of tea, remote control or to store an address book or similar. Or they can be used as display tables to make centrepieces of potted plants or a vase of flowers.
