12 Pottery Barn End Tables to 'Majorly Elevate Your Living Room!' — Timeless, Elegant, and Functional
So much more than sidekicks — they're the main event. See why this style editor can't get enough with this roundup of the very best


An end table might not be as crucial as, say, the couch or dining table, but they really can make or break a living room. They’re the difference between an accent chair that appears ‘just there’ and creating a curated focal point. Plus, it never hurts to have a landing spot for a favorite beverage or a book. While most skew pretty basic, Pottery Barn end tables? They've never heard of it.
In a stroke of luck, I stumbled upon some seriously sweet side table deals during the Pottery Barn sale. Adding a healthy dose of interest without breaking the bank, interior designer Artem Kropovinsky highlights how a ‘statement end table, whether it is in a bold color or an unusual shape, can completely change how a room feels.’ ‘It becomes eye-catching and prompts people to talk about it,’ he muses. Bold, beautiful, and impossible to ignore, Pottery Barn offers no shortage of these bonafide art pieces.
End tables aren't simply sidekicks; they’re the main event. Exhibit A: this edit. Discover why Pottery Barn end tables are among our favorite chic living room updates, forever and always, with this curated selection of the very best.

How should I style my Pottery Barn end table?
When it comes to styling an end table, Artem’s golden rule is balance. He advises that the table's ‘position within the room should be well-thought-out so as not to spoil its beauty while promoting its functionality by overcrowding it.’
As for decor, Artem suggests starting ‘with a unique lamp or piece of art that stands out, then add smaller personal items on top of it.’ Remember, less is more — a great end table might not need anything on top to make a statement. Use your discretion.
Pair any of these Pottery Barn rugs with your end table for the perfect match.
