Guest Picks: Seats and Side Tables
20 great little pieces that work well as both a place to sit and a spot to rest your drink
I'm changing things up a little in my bedroom and I want a small piece to prop a book or two on, or to sit on when I'm putting on my running socks and shoes. Here are a few pieces that I think are great for both. — Donna from A Perfect Gray
Photos & Products
Juno Convex Garden Stool - $77
A sleek, metal drum shape makes this one easy on the eyes. Great for a stool or side table.
Moro Stool - $395
Made of reclaimed wood, this perch has a great antique look. The minaret shape of the cut legs is especially nice.
Steelcase Martini Table - $90
Perhaps more of a table than a stool, this little plastic guy is a great modern accent piece.
Ginger Blue Side Table - $299
I love bright punches of color in small doses. The colbalt blue in this laser-cut table/stool does the trick.
Steel Square Rivet Stool - $106.99
A little bit of an industrial look. The rivets add to the interest. Great for either a stool or drink perch.
Mango Wood Seat - $195.99
Made of fruit wood and rubbed with tung oil, this stool has a great warm patina.
Interlocking Rings Stool - $219
Not your ordinary glazed ceramic garden stool. This stool/side table has a great antique stone look.
Braiden Side Table - $229
This unique little table is made of handwoven iron then distressed. It's a great way to introduce a little metal into a room.
Gus Modern - Timber Table
An awesome little acrylic table with delicate white stenciling resembling wood grain. This table would be a great kick with traditional furnishings.
Skinny Dip Side Table - $149
Sleek. Square... but hip. This galvanized steel stool or table is made for use inside or out.
Avenue Six Slick Cube - $105.99
A great mod look. Mix it with antiques for a funky vibe. Check it out in orange too — it rocks.
Stainless Cube - $715
A stainless steel cube. What could be simpler — or more sophisticated?
Handcarved Wooden Accordion Stool - $199
I am loving this one. Is it a work of art or a piece of furniture?
Malcolm End Table - $517.49
A beautifully distressed stool/table with brass detailing. This would make a great accent piece for many decor styles.
Ikea Stockholm Footstool, Delikat White/Black
If you want only a touch of hide in your home, this could be it. This stool may not have the flattest surface to set a drink on, but it might be the most stylish seat in the house.
Aluminum Stool - $395
This piece has great, clean lines and is so unexpected in aluminum.
Kartell Stone Stool - $245
This stool has a great hourglass shape. It's made with polycarbonate and can be used inside or out.
Subin Stump Table in Gold Foil - $829.49
Bling! The perfect "foil" in an otherwise reserved space, this little perch will get all the attention.
Bjork Stool - $260
A hip, Swedish-designed stool made of woven wool and cotton. The light gray and the dark gray look terrific together as a pair.
French Faux Bois Side Tables/Stools - $5,500
This one is the budget buster, but I just had to include these beauties: 20th century French concrete faux bois or "false wood" design stools. I may dream about these tonight.
