Here are 3 unique ideas to consider in your living room or den:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sofa Side Tip #1: Mix And Match Side Tables<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the past we\u2019ve written about mixing up the <a href=\"http:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/three-unique-ideas-on-styling-your-bedside-table\/\">side tables in your bedroom<\/a>; the great news is the same principles can be applied to the side tables in your living room.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to make an impact beside your sofa, ditch the matchy-matchy look and opt for two different side tables that work together to make a unique statement.<\/p>\n<p>We love the idea of pairing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modernfurniturecanada.ca\/circa-accent-table-dark-oak-p-33021.html\">Circa Accent Table<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.overstock.com\/Home-Garden\/Saturn-Wood-Glass-Accent-Table\/10329464\/product.html\">Saturn Accent Table<\/a>\u00a0in the living room to intrigue the eye.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_943\" style=\"width: 694px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/worldwidehome-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-10.10.06-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-943\" class=\" wp-image-943\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/worldwidehome-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-10.10.06-AM.png\" alt=\"Mix and match to make a statement!\" width=\"684\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-10.10.06-AM.png 459w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-28-at-10.10.06-AM-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mix and match to make a statement!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Because both tables have the same dark wood and glass features, they work together seamlessly to create a unified, but interesting look beside your sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing accents with the same elements&#8211;yet styled differently&#8211;is one of the easiest ways to ensure the overall vibe of your space is seamless but still unique.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sofa Side Tip #2: Create Balance With Airy And Chunky Pieces<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As interior designers, going full force with a single d\u00e9cor trend is one of the biggest design faux pas\u2019 we run into.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, chunky furniture is popular this fall, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should clutter up your space with oversized pieces that don\u2019t fit your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, try creating balance with accent pieces of varying styles and structures.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to styling the side of your oversized sofa, opt for airy and sculptural side tables like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.overstock.com\/Home-Garden\/Geo-Glass-Chrome-Grey-Accent-Table\/9958389\/product.html\">Geo Accent Table<\/a> in chrome.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_944\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/worldwidehome-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/blog3pic4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-944\" class=\"size-full wp-image-944\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/worldwidehome-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/blog3pic4.png\" alt=\"Airy pieces help balance chunky pieces\" width=\"481\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/blog3pic4.png 481w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/blog3pic4-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-944\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Airy pieces help balance chunky pieces<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The addition of this lightweight sculptural piece complements the heavy look of your sofa, creating balance in your space without overwhelming the eye.<\/p>\n<p>You can apply the same principle to a sleek, streamlined sofa. Opting for a chunkier side table anchors a lightweight set and adds a touch of drama to the overall design scheme.<\/p>\n<p><em>!nspire tip: Creating balance with the use of chunky and lightweight pieces takes a bit of practice at first, but remember, your eye is your greatest tool when it comes to mixing and matching. If something feels off, play around with it until it feels balanced.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong> Sofa Side Tip #3: Nesting Tables <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most people choose a single side table to complement each end of their sofa, but have you ever thought about choosing three?<\/p>\n<p>Nesting tables are a versatile, unique option if you\u2019re looking to try something new in your living room or den.<\/p>\n<p>These tables look gorgeous tucked together, slightly pulled apart for a layered look, or completely pulled apart and placed around the room as matching accent tables.<\/p>\n<p>We love the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mychichome.com\/accent-furniture\/accent-end-nesting-tables\/alize-metal-set-of-3-nesting-tables-in-chrome.html\">Sigma 3-Piece Nesting Table<\/a> because of its modern design and tempered glass top that fits perfectly into any contemporary space.
