A side table from IKEA is a small, versatile table designed to sit beside a bed, sofa, or chair. In simple terms, it provides a convenient surface for lamps, drinks, books, or décor while enhancing the functionality and style of a room. IKEA’s side tables are popular in Australia because they combine modern design, affordability, and adaptability for compact or stylish interiors.
The main reason Australians choose IKEA side tables is their flexibility — lightweight, modular, and easy to move or pair with existing furniture, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices.
IKEA offers a wide variety of side tables to suit different interiors, functions, and spaces.
Small tables placed next to the bed with storage drawers or shelves.
Two or more tables that fit together, saving space when not in use and expanding when needed.
Compact round designs with single pedestals or tripod legs, offering a modern minimalist look.
Tables with flexible heights for beds, sofas, or chairs of different heights.
Featuring drawers, cabinets, or open shelves for books, remotes, and essentials.
Clean lines, natural timber finishes, and muted colours — typical of IKEA’s design ethos.
Here’s why selecting the right side table matters for both style and practicality.
Ensure the table fits beside your sofa, chair, or bed without obstructing movement.
The tabletop should ideally align with the arm of the sofa or the mattress top for easy access.
Decide if you need storage (drawers or shelves) or just a surface for décor and essentials.
Choose timber, metal, glass, or painted finishes that complement your interior scheme.
Lightweight IKEA side tables can also function as plant stands, bedside trays, or temporary workstations.
