From modern entryways and landings to lounges, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, libraries and studies <\/span>(i.e. any space in your home),<\/span><\/i> antique tables<\/span> – in all shapes, styles and sizes – step in as functional and beautiful standalone or accent pieces.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As far as antique tables go, you\u2019re spoilt for choice, because no matter what space you\u2019re trying to fill, there are <\/span>console tables, coffee tables, bedside tables, dining tables, refectory tables, desks<\/span><\/a> etc, to fit all d\u00e9cor briefs and individual style aesthetics.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick any<\/span> antique table<\/span> to make a statement; either as a visually heavy focal point or as a smaller element to bring interest and balance to minimalistic modern pieces in a room.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"At<\/p>\n

\u2018You are welcome\u2019 | Console & centre tables<\/b><\/h2>\n

Console tables<\/span><\/a> may have fallen out of fashion for a while, but they are back with a design bang, especially when adding a touch of <\/span>antique furniture<\/span> flair to a walk-through entryway or landing space. These (generally) smaller areas are crying out for a little drama and you cannot go wrong when creating a curated vignette with a narrow console table against the wall. They do double duty, complementing any mirror, artwork or gallery arrangement hung above them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are fortunate enough to have a (larger) grand entrance hall or foyer, then round central tables are an eye-catching \u2019centrepiece\u2019 and stately welcome to your home. Your styling options are limitless if you can showcase an <\/span>antique centre table or drum table.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Console<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s gather together\u2019 | Dining tables<\/b><\/h2>\n

Designated dining rooms, or eat-in dining\/kitchens, are places where meals are shared and memories are made. <\/span>Antique (extendable) dining<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>refectory tables<\/span><\/a> become the ultimate piece of furniture to \u2018mix and match\u2019 with contemporary chairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a feature piece for years to come, dining tables are worth the investment. Blending the \u2018traditional\u2019 with modernity allows any homeowner or interior designer to seamlessly fuse the past with the present.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Antique<\/p>\n

\u2018Fancy a cup of tea?\u2019 | Coffee tables<\/b><\/h2>\n

There is probably no table as versatile and practical as a coffee table. A living room simply cannot work without one. And when you decide on an <\/span>antique coffee table<\/span>, the character of a space is instantly transformed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As smaller anchoring showpieces, coffee tables are often the finishing touch to complement modern living room furniture. Depending on your interior style, coffee tables can be stained, bleached, painted, gilded, or kept natural, allowing you the flexibility to create a bespoke conversation piece and display moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Antique<\/p>\n

\u2018Back to work\u2019 | Antique desks<\/b><\/h2>\n

As the WFH (work from home) movement and hybrid work model have become more entrenched in our lives, <\/span>antique desks offer themselves as designer solutions to remodelling your study or WFH space.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These beautifully crafted artisanal <\/span>antique pieces<\/span> beckon the muse and ensure productivity. With or without drawers, <\/span>an <\/span>antique desk<\/span> serves as an eye-catching designer solution in your home office; the perfect contrast to a contemporary or minimalistic aesthetic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Antique<\/p>\n

\u2018And so to bed\u2019 | Antique bedside tables<\/b><\/h2>\n

Modern bedrooms are probably one of the more complex areas to introduce <\/span>antique pieces <\/span>into the layout. But a subtle, yet whimsical nod to the past is to introduce <\/span>antique bedside tables or pedestals<\/span><\/a>. For a little eclectic charm – because these pieces are smaller – you can get away with them not matching.<\/span><\/p>\n

An <\/span>antique bedside table<\/span> presents the perfect opportunity to have some personalised d\u00e9cor fun when flanking the bed and headboard; the focal points of the room. They also add warmth, layering, textural elements and an unexpected detailing to your bedroom. It\u2019s then up to you to go maximalist or minimalist when styling them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
