Small Space, Big Impact: How to Style a Vertical Side Table

Small Space, Big Impact: How to Style a Vertical Side Table

Living in a compact apartment or unit often means making tough choices between style and floor space. But at ULUROOM, we reckon you shouldn't have to compromise. Meet our latest favourite: the vertical side table.

Designed with our signature "Warm Functionalism" philosophy, this piece is crafted to fit perfectly into tight nooks while making a bold visual statement.

1. The Power of Contrast

As seen in our latest shoot, the combination of a bold black frame with soft cream shelves creates a look that is graphic yet inviting. It anchors a neutral room without overpowering it. If your lounge is dominated by beige or white tones (like the sofa in the photo), adding a touch of black steel introduces a modern edge that defines the space.

2. Go Vertical, Save Floor Space

When space is at a premium, the only way is up. This side table offers two tiers of surface area within a compact footprint.

  • Top Tier: Perfect for your daily essentials—a cuppa, a kinetic art piece, or a small lamp.

  • Bottom Tier: A dedicated spot for your favourite magazines or heavy art books.

3. Styling Tips: Make It a Mini Gallery

Furniture shouldn't just be storage; it should be a display. Here is how we styled it:

  • Add Movement: We placed a playful kinetic mobile on top. The delicate wire contrasts beautifully with the sturdy steel frame.

  • Layer Books: Stack 2-3 design magazines (like Kinfolk or B) on the shelf. It adds colour and shows off your personality.

  • Keep It Breathable: Don't clutter the shelves. Negative space allows the architectural lines of the table to shine.

Ready to upgrade your space? Whether you use it as a bedside table or a sofa companion, this piece proves that small furniture can have a massive impact.
