Nontraditional Uses For Accent Tables In the Home

You know accent tables. They look a bit like end tables, but aren't necessarily anchored to the end of your furnishings or serving admirably as a companion to the coffee table in the traditional table triad found in most living rooms these days.

They can come in all sizes and really all shapes, and that is one of the truly great things about accent tables - their versatility in the home.

While these tables are well known for holding plants or perhaps holding a prized collection of books, accent tables can be pressed into service any number of ways. You can find variety of table designs in furniture shops in Bhiwandi furniture market. 

For example, a couple matching tables, such as a set of nesting tables, can be stacked on one another to create a multi-tiered display space in the room. This is a perfect place for a cascade of plants, an informal bookcase or as a place to display your family photos in a new and original way. Best of all, when there's a party, you can remove all the accessorization and press the tables back into service throughout the room.

If you have just a single table and need to get a little work done in the afternoon, consider using it in concert with your favorite chair as an impromptu workspace for your laptop or computer. This comes in particularly handy when you live in a smaller home where you may not be able to accommodate a desk.

When friends stop over and you're in the mood for a game of cards, Life or even Monopoly, you can use accent tables to hold the boards and gaming pieces. 

These tables are also a great place for kids to play with their building sets or other toys, as it's easy to move into their room at the end of the day so they can continue to build away while the adults enjoy a little "me" time in the living room.

Of course, accent tables are perfect when you get a case of the munchies. Pull an accent table over to your favorite chair and load it up with some cold drinks, chips and dips and the obligatory candy and popcorn if you're watching a movie.

Some apartment dwellers don't have a stepladder handy but still need to change out a light bulb in the ceiling fixture. If you have the right accent table, you can use it as an emergency ladder. Just be sure that it is sturdy, well made, stable and can hold your weight. There is nothing worse than stepping up on a table that is actually flimsy and crashing right through the table's top.

If you like to scrapbook or work on other hobbies, accent tables can make a great workbench. This is especially true if you don't like to be socked away in some guest room to work on your projects, preferring instead to be with others in the house as you create your art, build models or scrapbook. 

This is a really good idea if you have kids as it allows you and the kids to have some additional bonding time, rather than them spending the afternoon and evening locked away in their room.

Finally, these tables are great for storing your essential items that you have to take with you to work or on errands each day. Instead of hunting for hours for your purse, keys or wallet, put them on an accent table near the front door or entry and get into the habit of keeping all these important items on this one table. 

A single table in the right place can save you valuable time in the morning and maybe even put you enough ahead of schedule that you can enjoy an extra cup of coffee on the way to work.
