The ultimate space-saver.
If you’re looking to save space and invest in functional furniture, you can do no better than choosing a handy nest of tables. For smaller homes and living spaces, nesting tables are a useful solution for those in need of additional surface space, without it being a bulky, permanent fixture.
'Whilst coffee tables are a living room staple, nest tables are becoming increasingly popular due to the breadth of variety available,' says Patricia Gibbons from Sofa.com's design team.
'It serves a multitude of functions from being a subtle display area when tucked away or offering valuable extra surface space when lounging as a family. However, they truly come into their own when entertaining; perfect for snack bowls, keeping glasses within easy reach and the ease with which you can move them around makes for a stress-free gathering.'
Modern nesting table designs, such as glass and marble, are the perfect match for contemporary living spaces. If you have a more traditional or rustic interior, oak would suit, while mango wood works perfectly for the mid-century modern aesthetic. Position your table by an armchair or to the side of your sofa, or make it a focal point by placing it in the centre of your room.
