Nest of Tables: Flexible Surfaces, Small Footprint
A nest of tables is one of the cleverest space-savers around. Day to day, it takes up the space of one small table. When friends come round, you pull out two or three.
How a Nest Works
Each table is slightly smaller than the one above. They slide underneath each other to stack. Pull them out and place them by sofas and chairs as needed.
Where to Use a Nest of Tables
- Beside the sofa – as a lamp table with spare surfaces underneath.
- In place of a coffee table – spread them out in a small living room.
- In a guest room – one as a bedside, others for luggage or books.
- On a landing – compact and useful for plants or post.
Materials
Oak nests match our living room ranges like Horner and Oakham. Natural root wood nests bring an organic, sculptural look. Each root set is unique.
Styling Ideas
Leave the nest stacked with a lamp on top. Or stagger the tables slightly for a layered look. Add a plant on the lowest table.
Care
Use coasters to protect the surface. Lift tables when sliding them out to avoid scratches. Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
Shop coffee tables, lamp tables and furniture sets, or browse living room furniture.
