We see these elegant pieces of furniture in different rooms in different homes and often wonder what their correct name is.

We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, so it stands to reason that our bedroom should be optimised to promote a good night’s rest. Our bedroom is where we go to unwind at the end of a long, stressful day – it’s our most private space in our home – so this room should be a haven of tranquillity, a place where we can curl up with a good book or simply relax and unwind.

A side table may not be the focal point of your living room or bedroom, but it certainly ties the space together. Side tables are often overlooked because, just like rugs and carpets, they’re not the most important piece of furniture in the room; however, a side table in itself can be a standout piece of furniture. In our opinion, aside from their practicality and storage abilities, a side table can easily make or break the ambience of a living room or bedroom.
Selecting furniture for your kid’s bedroom can be a lot of fun; however, the choices you make must also be practical. In addition to being practical, you still want your child to feel safe and at home in their bedroom. So now that your baby is old enough to move out of their crib,
