9 Gorgeous Accent Table Décor Ideas
Decor Tip #1: The Accent Table as Coffee Table

Decor Tip #2: Sparkle + Shine
All eyes will be drawn to accent tables in radiant finishes.
Decor Tip #3: Coastal Vibes
For beachy-chic at its most elegant, opt for a combination of natural textures and bright neutrals, like the white wood combo (pictured above).
Decor Tip #4: Fresh Florals
Brighten up dark metals and sweeten the air with a pale rose (or 12!).
Decor Tip #5: Tea for Two
Display a dainty tea set for a country-cottage flair.
Decor Tip #6: Boho-Chic
Eclectic décor, contemporary silhouettes and a breezy brown finish – this woodsy accent table has it all!
Decor Tip #7: A Novel Idea
Refine your space with literary style – and keep your favorite volumes within reach – with an accent table with shelves.
Decor Tip #8: French Connection
Above, the calming grey shade of paint, exposed brick wall and distressed silver vase all come together to create a rustic-chic ambiance – without overpowering the French-inspired details of the table itself.
Decor Tip #9: The Accent Table as Nightstand
When used in place of a traditional nightstand, an accent table or end table offers a minimalist chic vibe that will save you space. Top it off with a bold reading lamp for practical light – and height – and a miniature succulent for a hint of color.
Traditionally designed to be placed at the side of a sofa or other large furniture piece, an end table offers chic counter space to display your favorite home decorative items – and is the perfect way to pull together any room.

How to Decorate End Tables
Bringing home a new end table isn't just bringing home a new end table; it's bringing home a million possibilities for decor. When styling an end table, just keep in mind that less is more. Choose one large item (a vase, a figurine, a candle holder or a coffee table book) and one small item (a coin dish, a picture frame or a decorative case) to complement it.
