Side furniture

Side furniture: The unsung heroes of interior design

In interior design, attention is often focused on large pieces like the sofa or dining table, but it's the accent furniture that truly makes a home work. These pieces act as connecting elements, providing extra surface space, clever storage, and personality. A good accent piece doesn't just fill a gap; it solves organizational problems and completes the room's decorative narrative. Our collection ranges from the sturdiness of solid wood sideboards to the lightness of metal nesting tables, offering solutions that adapt to your evolving needs and spaces.

Typology according to function and location

Advantages of integrating auxiliary parts

• Spatial flexibility: Most are movable pieces that can change function depending on the occasion (e.g., a stool that serves as a table).
• Optimizing organization: They take advantage of dead corners to create vertical or horizontal storage where it is most needed.
• Aesthetic cohesion: They allow the introduction of contrasting materials (marble, gold metal) in small doses without saturating the environment.
• Specific functionality: They solve specific needs (where to leave the keys, place a drink) improving the daily experience.

Tips for choosing the perfect assistant

Before buying, analyze the flow of movement in the room. A side table should never obstruct passage. For small spaces, opt for tables with glass tops or slender legs that allow light to pass through. If you need storage, prioritize furniture with doors to conceal visual clutter. Height is also key: a side table should be level with the arm of the sofa, and an entryway console should be at a comfortable height for placing items upright (approximately 75-80 cm).

Frequently asked questions about occasional furniture

• What is the difference between a sideboard and a chest of drawers?

  The sideboard is usually lower and wider, designed for the dining room, while the chest of drawers is taller and deeper, with drawers for bedroom clothes.

• Can I use a side table as a bedside table?

  Yes, it's a very current trend. It brings visual lightness to the bedroom, especially if you don't need storage drawers next to the bed.

• What material is most durable for a heavy-duty side table?

  Metal, sintered stone, or marble are more resistant to scratches and heat than lacquered wood, making them ideal for supporting hot cups.
