Raise a Glass to Cocktail Tables

Cheers. With cocktail tables, you'll always have a place to keep your drink close by. In the living room, flank the sofa with a side table on each end. For an opulent aesthetic, find luxe materials such as marble or brass. Then, place a few coasters on top to protect its surface. Prefer an industrial vibe? Cement tables capture the brutalist aesthetic. To tie it together, opt for minimalist accent chairs and exposed-bulb lighting. If you need extra space for refreshments, find a coffee table that complements the cocktail tables, too. Small side tables go beyond the living room. If the bedroom is tight on space, position one beside the headboard in lieu of a nightstand to stash essentials such as books, glasses or a table lamp.
