Pedestal End Table Design Tips
There are so many options when it comes to these fabulous tables. Those options lead to a host of ideas. Check out these great tips.
- The best place for one is at the side of your favorite easy chair or between two club chairs.
- Because pedestal tables are more decorative, showcase them with beautiful art, like a sculpture, decorative lamp or a flowering plant.
- Hang artwork above your pedestal end table, or accent it with photographs or candles. Perhaps a small area rug underneath to enhance it.
- Focus on the center line of the pedestal. A Vase with tall flowers, a thin lamp or sculpture will extend the line up through the arrangement, making it look even longer
- Take advantage of the pedestal table's height. Accent it more than you would a regular end table since it will be more visible to those sitting in the room.

Buying Tips
Here's some special buying tips to help you make the right choice of table.
- Make sure your pedestal end table is sturdy enough for the room. Insure the base is secure, not wobbly. If you have larger animals, this can be a big concern.
- Before you shop, take a look at the legs of the other furniture in the room. Are they similar, lots of them, different shapes and sizes? Use your answers to gauge what type of table will work. Being in balance with the rest of the room is key.
