From metal bases to concrete tops and more, here are 10 ideas that would work as an end table, accent table, or even nightstands that will instantly elevate any spot in your home.
1. Try an end table that's a tree trunk.

3. Pick out a pedestal side table.
Nothing says farmhouse like a pedestal table — no matter the size. A side table composed of rich-toned wood with a traditional pedestal base looks more like a timeworn piece than a brand new piece of furniture. This modern twist on the look from Perigold updates the style in all the right ways to create a nice accent piece in a living room and beyond.

This farmhouse end table from Birch Lane is an excellent way to infuse a hint of french country flair into any room. The size works perfectly as a nightstand too, where you have plenty of space to stack your favorite books and a stylish reading lamp.
