If you have been thinking its time to do something to dress up your modern living room a little bit, you may want to take a look at this year's trends for furniture fashion to get a clue to what you can do. This year metal is in! This is music to the ears of a modern and contemporary decorator! After all, many of the themes of this style of home décor are based on metal construction.
So, it is time to celebrate that the furnishing trends are as they should be and purchase a new metal end table for your living room. But which one to choose? Let's look at some of the options:
Wine Cabinets Furniture
Metal/Metal - One of the popular types of metal end tables that you may be able to find today are those that are all metal. Since this is an end table we are looking at, there is a lot more flexibility to make it in all metal. For a larger table, like a dining room table, making something out of all iron would be very heavy, but in a metal end table, that would be doable as the weight would not be overwhelming. So, if you like the idea of beautiful wrought iron craftsmanship, enjoy shopping for the perfect piece for your living room.
Metal/Wood - Another option is a table that is based in metal and has a wooden top. In a modern style living room you will likely want to look at an ebony wood or possibly something with exotic veneers that almost look like the table has become a frame for a piece of 'art' that is the wood table top. Some of these tables even have designs that have been created in the veneers that can go with a more detailed theme in your home.
Metal/Glass - A very common combination when it comes to metal end tables is to have a glass top on those tables. This is a good pairing on a number of levels. First, the glass and the metal seem to be a nice pairing from the hard of the metal to the shimmer and almost liquid feel of the glass. Secondly, the glass attracts light from the room around it and that light will really make this table shine and grab the attention of those who are near it.
Metal/Stone - A final combination that you may want to consider is a metal and stone table combination. In this case a metal table frame is combined with a stone table top. Sometimes this can even be a beautiful piece of Italian marble, which will really dress up the room. Other times you may want to choose from regional stones that represent the area where you live or an area that you love. Still another option is a piece of stone that has fossils or other items in it and has been cut to show off those features within the surface of the stone.
