End Tables
In the architecture of a room, scale is deceptive. Often, it’s the most compact objects that carry the greatest weight. Taho’s end tables are built with this philosophy in mind, crafted not as secondary furniture, but as elemental forms that balance space, tension, and material contrast. These are pieces of quiet substance: beside a sofa, framing a bed, or standing alone with sculptural clarity.

In the most refined interiors, it is never just about the large pieces. It is about what happens in the spaces between, the subtle anchors that lend a room its rhythm. The quiet geometry of proportion. The interplay of light on stone, brass, and burnished wood.
The end table belongs to this world of discreet luxury. It is not placed casually; it is curated into the architecture of living. A surface to hold what matters, perhaps a vessel in hand-polished marble, perhaps nothing at all. An object that edits the space around it without insisting on attention.
At Taho Living, these pieces are designed for those who understand restraint as the highest form of refinement. Our end tables are sculptural, weighted, and tactile, crafted from materials that will not remain static, but evolve.
Marble tops that catch the day’s light differently as hours shift. Brass feet that soften with patina. Leather wraps that remember the touch of time.
Whether selected as a sofa side table, a bed side table, or a solitary form in a considered corner, these are not accents. They are part of the language of a space designed with intent.
Taho’s end tables exist at the intersection of design purity and material honesty. Each piece carries the mark of the hand, the discipline of proportion, and the clarity of minimalist form.
What distinguishes them:
- Tailored Dimensions: Scaled for versatility, whether flanking a lounge chair, bedside, or open corridor.
- Architectural Forms: Inspired by temple plinths, stepped voids, and structural rhythm, without ornamental excess.
- Heritage Metalwork: Born from decades of precision craftsmanship in brass, iron, and cast metals, refined for contemporary interiors.
- Integrated Functionality: From minimalist open surfaces to side tables with drawers, designed to hold daily objects in a way that feels edited, never cluttered.
- Design Autonomy: Crafted in-house, ensuring fidelity from concept to final touch. No outsourced finishing. No compromises in scale or material choice.
These are objects for those who understand that furniture shapes the energy of a room.
In luxury interiors, material selection is not a matter of taste; it’s a matter of intention. Each Taho end table is composed of tactile contrasts and raw integrity, designed to age beautifully, not perfectly.
The collection includes:
- Natural Marble: Selected for depth and veining, not uniformity. Every surface is unique, grounding the piece with quiet gravitas.
- Iron Frames: Finished in black powder for architectural sharpness, creating a subtle but deliberate contrast to stone or wood.
- Brass in Antique Finish: Softened to avoid sheen, left to patinate and warm over time, evolving with the environment.
- Glass Accents: Introducing reflection and negative space, used in select designs to offset heavier materials.
- Wood and Leather Elements: Leather-wrapped volumes meet natural wood, with brass feet adding a tactile note of refinement.
Each material is thoughtfully chosen for texture, memory, and the way it lives within a space over years.
Styling with end tables is an act of spatial editing. These are pieces that introduce cadence, bridge textures, and refine the visual flow of a setting.
Considered approaches include:
- Contrast material with material. Pair a marble-topped side table with tonal upholstery to introduce cool restraint, stone set against linen, brass alongside textured mohair.
- Use leather to soften precision. A bed side table with drawers, wrapped in black leather, tempers minimalism with tactile warmth. Surfaces remain spare: a sculptural lamp, a bronze object, or the discipline of leaving it empty.
- Introduce structure between softness. Position a wood side table between oversized, low-slung seating to punctuate volume with form. The grain or leather finish becomes a break in monochrome palettes.
- Curate tension through asymmetry. Place modern side tables in pairs but resist mirror-image styling. Vary heights or materials to create balance without symmetry, this is where refinement lives.
- Mediate weight with lightness. A glass and brass side table offsets architectural mass, think iron planes or travertine surfaces which helps in introducing reflection without dilution.
In spaces defined by restraint, it is these gestures of placement that create dialogue between objects, materials, and intent.
An end table does more than occupy space; it calibrates it. These are objects that mark transitions, shift proportions, and create architectural pauses within a composition. Placement is not incidental; it’s a study in tension, balance, and scale.
Some of the considered placements include:
- Flanking modular seating or low-slung lounge chairs, where an end table becomes an extension of the arrangement; close enough to serve, distant enough to maintain flow.
- At the perimeter of a bedframe, where a bed side table with drawers introduces both function and gravity, holding essentials discreetly while adding a sculptural plane to the room’s edge.
- In passageways or architectural voids, where a side table with drawers, softly punctuate thresholds without visual noise.
- Beside a reading chair or chaise, where an end table creates a moment of pause, its surface reserved for objects of daily significance or left empty as an act of restraint.
- Within open, uninterrupted volumes, use small end tables to articulate spatial rhythm for defining seating clusters, mediating between materials, or introducing a change in texture and scale without fragmenting the environment.
With these pieces, your space gains both function and form. Here, each end table offers structure, contrast, and a sense of compositional clarity that refines the way your interiors are lived in and experienced.
Luxury is not static. It evolves with use, with touch, with time. The materials in each end table are selected for precisely this reason: they are meant to age, to acquire nuance, to reflect the environment they inhabit. And thus, care, then, is not about preservation; it is about stewardship.
Maintain your piece with mindful attention:
- Marble surfaces: Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive solutions. Veining and minor marks are part of the material’s narrative, not imperfections.
- Brass and iron: Allow natural patina to develop. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for routine care. Do not polish; depth and oxidation are integral to the finish.
- Glass elements: Wipe with a microfiber cloth to maintain clarity while protecting the surface from micro-scratches.
- Leather-wrapped forms: Dust regularly. Condition sparingly with a leather balm only when necessary. Avoid direct light exposure to maintain tonal richness.
- Wood bases: Dry dust preferred. Apply oil only when the grain calls for replenishment, not by routine.
With these quiet gestures, your end table will evolve into something singular, no longer just a piece within a space, but an object that holds memory, patina, and lived-in refinement.

frequently asked questions
End tables and side tables serve similar functions, but end tables typically sit beside a sofa or chair, while side tables can be placed anywhere, including next to a bed or in a hallway.
An end table should be approximately the same height as the sofa arm, usually around 20 to 24 inches, to ensure easy access and visual balance.
For warmth and texture, wood and leather finishes like natural brown leather are ideal. For a modern luxe feel, choose marble tops with
Yes, many end tables double as bed side tables, especially compact or drawer-equipped styles that blend function and form.
Opt for side tables with drawers or hidden storage, like those in brass antique with black patina. Sleek aluminium or cylindrical glass designs keep the space feeling open yet functional.
Round end tables work best in tighter layouts as they soften corners and ease flow, while square tables offer more defined surface area for storage or styling.
