Show me your best side (table)...

This blog post has been a long time coming - being caught up in the reality of timescales for uni work and a little design brief I'm working on has meant it's been tough to actually get this one down. 

It is one I have enjoyed writing though as it kind of speaks for itself and, for a change, means I don't actually have to do much gabbing! 

So I'm working on a little interior design brief that I'm quite excited to share with you all, however I'm going to wait until it's completely finished to show you the reveal and transformation. Along with very specific mirrors and wall finishes, I have been trying to source small occasional/bedside tables. 

These kind of occasional tables can be so boring yet if chosen correctly, can bring so much more than just utility to a room. 

Use occasional tables in hallways to create a really grounded SENSE OF SPACE, rather than it becoming a 'corridor' (zzzzzzz). 

OR...

dot them in unexpected places like besides your bathtub to house charming vignettes, or in the kitchen to display your cookery books. Wherever you put them, you'll find that they instantly transform your spaces - creating levels of intrigue way up the cool ladder.

Also if you choose tables that can work in multiple rooms within your home, they become the easiest and most brilliant way to instantly give your space a makeover. Frequently playing around with your furniture and 'bits and pieces' (or STUFF as Craig likes to call it) will stop YOU becoming bored of your home and will aid you on your way to creating one you never want to leave!

Here are my pick of just a few fab tables on the market - remember, don't just push them in the corner!

For retro cool go Vettra - Ikea £25

Girls' girls - this ones for you - Gold and Pink stripe  - Homes Direct £199.99

There is a little bit of something for everyone here, and as much as I genuinely love them all, I think you can't beat a little bit of quirk and glamour in any space so my faves are Kare Bear and Birdy Both by Urban Outfitters which have a huge selection of some of the best home accessories (credit cards at the ready girls).
 Which is your fave and where would you put it? Or if you have a pick to add to the list, let me know over on Facebook or Twitter.

Happy Sunday.
XOXO.
