Tiny Tempa, I mean Tiny Tables: The Tiny Table Trend

I was helping a friend put together some ideas for her formal living room make over yesterday and all of the components were coming together. The only thing "missing" was a tiny table. Yes, sometimes, even a tiny table can be just the right thing to sort of round out a seating arrangement. And I LOVE tiny ROUND tables.

Pair of tiny tables instead of a traditional coffee table

Use them up close next to a sofa or chair. Tuck them in under a table. Put two of the same side by side instead of using a conventional coffee table. Tiny tables are everywhere this year, and no wonder. They  allow you the convenience and functionality of another hard surface, as well as give you a chance to infuse a bit of fun or whimsy into what could otherwise be a traditional squared off seating arrangement.
These are my favorite tiny tables out there to emulate.

okay, so it's not exactly round, but a hex.
Still love and it still breaks up a squared off or rectangular seating arrangement.
I think this new tiny table trend will be here to stay.
XXOOO.

    1. So true..so needed. I think there has been a tendency to cut back on tables..so many people don't do coffee tables anymore. But they sure make a room more functional, not to mention adding a bit of personality, too. Which one do you like?
      I can't make up my mind? But I know which one I recommended to my friend...it's one of the ones in this post ;)
