We have found several amazing drink tables for you to check out and hopefully one will look great in your house.
What is a Drink Table?
A drink table is usually a small side table that will fit about one or two drinks. They are much smaller than a classic end table but also more elegant. Most drink tables are tall and skinny, mimicking the shape of a cocktail glass. The top is typically round and only large enough to fit a drink or two.
Drink tables are designed to only fit drinks. You won’t be able to fit a light or any extra decor on the table! However, you won’t need to. A fancy mocktail is decoration enough!
How to Choose a Drinks Table
There are a few things to keep in mind when picking the perfect drinks table. Here are some points you may want to consider.
- Style of Drink Table- You want your new drink table to match your style. Would a modern drink table look best in your house? Or do you like the look of a fancy pedestal drink table? Make sure your table matches your other furniture.
- Material of the Drink Tables- Do you like wood tables or metal? Perhaps you want a more modern, durable plastic table. There are drink tables in all different materials! Some are more durable while others are easy to clean. Think about what kind of material will look good and be functional in your home.
- Size of the Drink Side Table- Be sure the table you like will fit in your space. Most drink tables are fairly small. You can squeeze a small drink table into a tiny spot if you choose a table that only fits one drink. Choose a larger drink table if you plan on having lots of mocktail parties and have more space.
- Cost- Drink tables can be very affordable but there are also some very pricy, high end tables as well. Decide how much you want to spend on a drink table and set your budget before you start your search. With so many incredible cocktail side table options, you are sure to find one in your budget.
