Occasional Tables

Side & Coffee tables are functional but can also make quite a statement in your home. They can be used as storage, an area for display, a resting spot for your feet or a cup of tea. Here are some options that catch my eye:

This coffee table is an absolute show stopper! The material, scale and design details would send any space to the next level of sophistication

Using a trunk as a coffee table will instantly add character to your room. It's also quite functional, as you can use it for storage as well. You could buy this new, or check out the thrift stores around for something that has years of experience

These graphic side tables can be the perfect spot for a book and a beverage or double as an extra seat for a party

In my opinion, you can never go wrong with glass. It will add a subtle shimmer to your space without being over powering.

Nesting tables give you multiple layers to accessories, but when needed you can separate them to maximize function. This pair is a chameleon in style, it could fit into a traditional home or mix in beautifully with more contemporary pieces

Lighting

I love this collection of lights from Steven and Chris. Their designs are simplistic but bold at the same time, resulting in some timeless pieces

These wall sconces are flexible in appearance: line your hallway, media room or flank your bathroom vanity with a collection of these chrome beauties.

Instead of your standard looking pendant, how about two or three of these over an island! Stunning!
