No room for a coffee table? Not to worry, there are plenty of decor alternatives that won’t overcrowd your sitting area. Nesting tables can be pulled apart when guests come over or tucked away when not in use — the perfect solution for cramped condos or apartments. Scroll down to see seven options, all priced under $400, that will add visual height and function to your space.
1. Set of three hexagon nesting tables from Oliver Bonas, $305.21
Mixing metallics is a total do, and this set of nesting tables includes copper, gold and silver finishes. Their hexagon shapes feel modern and graphic, while thin legs prevent the tables from dominating your space.
2. Three-piece peekaboo acrylic nesting table set from CB2, $199
Have a stunning, 31st-story waterfront view? These transparent surfaces won’t distract from it, and will actually make your space appear larger.
3. Set of two round nest tables from Zara Home, $199
This set has a vaguely art deco feel, with gold finishes and mirrored tabletops. We love the idea of using these nest tables beside the bed, as seen in the photo above.
4. Oslo nesting end tables from Target, $94.99
Add a touch of mid-century modern with these two-toned nesting tables. At less than $100, they’re totally affordable, and far more interesting than a standard coffee table.
5. Box frame nesting tables from West Elm, $399
There’s no color combination as classic and versatile as black and white. These box frame nesting tables have smooth marble tops and slim steel frames that will make any room more polished.
6. Wood top and metal nesting tables from Bouclair, $134
Want to recreate Scandinavian style in your home? These side tables feature rich wood surfaces with etched, geometric patterns and complementary stainless-steel legs. They can be purchased separately ($54 for the small table and $80 for the large) but we prefer them as a pair.
7. Bauhaus nesting tables from France&Søn, $399
This is a replica of the O.G. nesting tables by artist and designer Josef Albers. You can purchase the real Bauhaus design from the Moma Store for $2,100, but if you’re looking to save, this set of four from France&Søn provides the same colorful look.
