Telephone Tables
Telephone tables are small, smart and made for tight spots. Use one in the hall for post and keys, or beside a chair for a lamp and a book. Our designs come from the Newton, Oakham and Rutherford oak ranges. Most include a drawer and lower shelf for extra storage.
Telephone Tables: Small Footprint, Lots of Uses
The landline may be rarer now, but the telephone table is still useful. It's a compact table with a drawer and shelf. It fits where nothing else will.
Modern Uses for a Telephone Table
- Hallway drop zone – keys, post and a charging dock.
- Bedside table – perfect for a small guest room.
- Plant stand – raise a plant to window height.
- Reading table – beside an armchair for a lamp and a book.
- Router hideaway – keep broadband kit tidy on the shelf.
Why Size Matters
Telephone tables are usually around 40 to 50cm wide. That makes them ideal for narrow hallways and landings. They take up less space than a console table. Yet they still give you a drawer and a shelf.

The Newton telephone table has clean, Danish-inspired lines in natural oak. Oakham brings a rustic oak finish with traditional details. Rutherford offers a chunky, rustic look at a great price. Each matches other furniture in its range.
Styling Tips
Top your table with a small lamp for a welcoming glow. Add a bowl for keys. Slide a basket onto the lower shelf for gloves or dog leads. Hang a mirror above to make a narrow hall feel bigger.
