Lamp Tables
Keep lamps, drinks and books within reach with a lamp table beside your sofa or chair. Choose from oak, marble, mango and reclaimed wood designs. Many include a drawer, basket or lower shelf for extra storage. Pair them with a matching coffee table for a joined-up look.
Lamp Tables: The Perfect Sidekick for Your Sofa
Lamp tables are small but useful. They hold a lamp for evening reading. They keep a cup of tea close by. They also fill the gap at the end of a sofa or beside a chair.
Height and Size
A lamp table should sit level with, or just below, the arm of your sofa. That makes it easy to reach. Allow enough top surface for a lamp base and a drink. Around 40 to 50cm square suits most needs.
Storage Options
- Drawers – hide remotes, coasters and glasses.
- Baskets – the Rutherford range includes a woven basket for magazines.
- Lower shelves – hold books or a plant.
- Open frames – look lighter in small rooms.
