Wood Side & End Tables

The key benefits of wooden side tables and how they can fit into any home

A wood side table is one of those small-but-mighty pieces that can transform a seat into a destination. Whether you’re styling a living room, bedroom or hallway, timber side tables offer warmth, texture and natural beauty that suit almost any decor style. Their timeless appeal means they work equally well in classic, coastal, Scandi or modern interiors. More than just a surface for your coffee cup or bedside lamp, wood side tables add balance and function to your layout, creating symmetry beside a sofa, offering storage next to a bed, or simply filling a corner with character. Head to our collection of side tables to find the piece you’re looking for.

How to choose the right wood and finish to add wooden side tables to your rooms

Choosing the right timber side tables starts with finding the wood tone that best complements your existing furniture and flooring. Lighter finishes like ash or oak bring a relaxed, coastal or Scandi feel, while richer stains like walnut or teak add depth and elegance to more traditional or moody interiors. Consider matching your new wood side table to other timber elements in the room, or intentionally contrast tones for a curated, collected look. Love natural variation? Solid timber tables showcase unique wood grain patterns that make every piece feel one-of-a-kind. Explore our full wood side tables range to discover a finish that suits your space.

Features and designs available for new wooden side tables

Wooden side tables come in all shapes and sizes, so it's easy to find one that suits both your space and your lifestyle. Looking for flexibility?

A round side table, or one with a freeform shape, adds flow and pairs beautifully with curved furniture or layered rugs. Need a place to stash remotes or bedside essentials? Choose a table with built-in storage or drawers. Some designs blend timber with materials like terrazzo or marble, offering a stylish mixed-material look.

How to clean, care for and accessorise your new wooden side tables

Wood side tables are simple to maintain and only require occasional care to keep them looking their best. Regularly wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, and use a mild detergent and damp cloth for any marks or spills, being careful not to saturate the wood. To protect your table from everyday wear, consider using coasters or felt pads under decor. For timber finishes, applying furniture wax or oil now and then can help nourish the wood and enhance its grain. When it comes to styling, keep it simple and personal, stack a few favourite books, add a ceramic vase or candle, or bring in a small plant for a touch of greenery.
