Why Accent Tables Deserve More Attention

When people think about living room furniture, the focus often goes to sofas, coffee tables, or rugs. But accent tables are the unsung heroes that make the space both functional and stylish. They hold your drinks, display décor, and bring balance to your seating arrangements.

At Mollywood Furniture in Dothan, AL, we’ve helped families across the Wiregrass region and 30A coastal towns design living rooms where accent tables tie everything together seamlessly.

Step 1: Types of Accent Tables

Accent tables come in many shapes and styles. Here are the essentials:

• Side Tables: Perfect next to sofas or chairs for lamps and drinks.

• Console Tables: Ideal behind sofas, along walls, or in entryways.

• Nesting Tables: Space-saving sets that can be stacked or spread out.

• Drum Tables & Stools: Double as seating or display surfaces.

👉 Explore our Living Room Furniture and Décor & Accessories collections for accent tables that suit every space.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Size

Scale matters when selecting accent tables:

• Height: Side tables should align with the armrest of your sofa or chair.

• Length: Console tables should complement the width of your sofa or wall.

• Proportion: Smaller rooms benefit from delicate tables; larger rooms need substantial pieces.

👉 Pair with area Rugs to anchor your seating area.

Step 3: Style by Home Aesthetic

Coastal Homes (30A)

• Whitewashed, driftwood, or rattan accent tables.

• Paired with breezy slipcovered sofas.

• Styled with Planters & Pottery for greenery and light-colored Lighting.

Farmhouse Homes (Wiregrass)

• Rustic wood or distressed finishes.

• Nesting tables in warm tones.

• Lantern-style lamps and cozy throws.

Modern & Transitional

• Minimalist silhouettes.

• Paired with geometric rugs from our Rugs page.

Step 4: Styling Your Accent Tables

Accent tables aren’t just functional — they’re display platforms for your personality. Try these ideas:

• Side Tables: Add a table lamp from our Lighting page, a stack of books, and a Southern Oak Candle Co. candle.

• Console Tables: Style with mirrors, pottery, or baskets for storage.

• Nesting Tables: Use one for drinks and another for décor accents.

Step 5: Think Function First

Accent tables aren’t just pretty. They improve the flow and usability of your living room:

• Provide a landing spot for drinks or remotes.

• Balance out large sectionals or sofas.

• Offer display space without overwhelming.

• Can be swapped seasonally for a refreshed look.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Too many accent tables → clutter instead of balance.

• Mismatched heights → creates visual imbalance.

• Ignoring proportions → small tables get lost in large rooms.

• Forgetting function → every table should serve a purpose.
