How to Decorate a Living Room End Table

End tables are vital to the living room decorating arrangement because they provide a practical and convenient resting spot for many items. Here is an easy way to decorate a living room end table.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• End table
• Lamp
• Coasters
• Box
• Toys

1. Start with a lamp. Lighting is very important on an end table because often a person will sit next to the end table in order to read a book or newspaper. Get a good quality light bulb that is both energy efficient and easy on the eyes.

2. Next place a set of coasters on the end table. These should match the décor of the room and will prevent unsightly water glass rings on wooden furniture.

3. Now place one decorative item on the table. This can be a small flower arrangement or a figurine or statue.

4. Add a fun item to the end table. This should be something that can start a conversation or keep someone occupied for a few minutes. Include a book of brain teasers or a set of puzzles in a wooden box. If there will be children visiting the room, include a small box of miniature animals.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the end table and items on the table free of dust.
• Clean any toys frequently.
