Matching Living Room Tables

7 years ago

Do my tables need to match? I will be using a large ottoman that matches the dark gray fabric of my sofa as a coffee table. I have a painted black drum (about 3 ft. tall, 12" in diameter) that I want to use as a corner piece. I want to add a sofa table and end table. Do they need to match each other or what about painting one of them to match the drum?

Matching is a bit out of style now anyway, favoring a more eclectic/collected design style which is quite lovely and personalized. So I think you’d be completely fine to go with different tables that you like and that look nice together, yet have different shapes and finishes (metal, wood, etc.)
