Wall-mounted tables

Wall tables are often referred to as side tables. It is precisely their slender shape that makes them ideal for spaces where you want some extra surface area but cannot fit a large piece of furniture. Take a look at our unique wall tables if you’re looking for a more distinctive style.

What should you look out for when choosing a wall-mounted table?

The right wall-mounted table should not only suit your style, but also the purpose of the room. So first think about where the table will be placed and what you want to put on or in it.

• Width and depth: In a hall or narrow corridor, a shallow wall-mounted table is often the most practical option.
• Open or with storage space: A model with drawers helps to keep small items neatly out of sight, such as the antique wall-mounted table with 5 drawers and floral details.
• Height: A slightly taller wall-mounted table often looks particularly good behind a sofa or against an empty wall.
• Appearance: Choose a finish that complements the rest of your interior, from warm wood to a combination with metal.

A wall-mounted table in the right spot

In the hall

In the hall, a wall-mounted table immediately creates a neat and tidy first impression. You can create a designated spot for keys, post or decorative items, whilst the piece itself takes up very little space. A version with drawers is particularly practical here. Choose, for example, a wall-mounted table made of elm wood with a drawer and a shelf if you want extra storage space without the design looking bulky.

Behind the bench

Behind the sofa, a wall-mounted table serves as a subtle link between the seating and the rest of the room. You can use the tabletop to display lighting, home accessories or a few personal touches, without the overall look feeling cluttered.

Against a blank wall

Even against a bare wall, a wall-mounted table can quickly add a touch of warmth. Particularly in a living room or landing, it creates a better sense of balance in the room and prevents a wall from feeling bare. Are you looking for a real eye-catcher?

Pay particular attention to how it complements the other furniture in the room. A wall-mounted table doesn’t have to match exactly, but it should harmonise in terms of style, colour and the feel of the materials.

A practical comparison within the collection

When looking at different wall-mounted tables, it’s worth considering not only their appearance but also their practicality. A wider model offers more decorative space, whilst a compact design works better in narrower rooms. There are also versions with drawers and a lower shelf, which are particularly practical if you want to combine storage space with an airy look.

Not sure which wall table is best for you? Be sure to check the dimensions carefully and consider how they relate to the space where you want to place it.
