Sidtabell

Sidtabell is a small, free-standing table designed to be placed beside a sofa, chair, or bed. It provides a convenient surface for a lamp, a drink, a book, or other personal items, without the footprint of a larger coffee table. The term is commonly used in Danish and Norwegian contexts, and similar pieces are known by equivalent terms in other languages.

Sidtabells come in a range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Common materials include wood (such as oak, walnut, or pine), metal, and glass, with finishes from natural to lacquered. Shapes are typically round, square, or rectangular, and height is usually matched to seating height. Some models include a drawer or a lower shelf for storage, while others are minimal with a single surface.

In modern interiors, sidtabells are versatile pieces that complement various furniture types and design aesthetics. They are frequently found in living rooms, bedrooms, and lounges and may accompany sofa tables or end tables. When selecting a sidtabell, consider scale relative to the seating, stability, and how the chosen material and finish integrate with the surrounding decor.
