As with every piece of furniture in your minimalist home, you need to think about the material in great depth and pick something that calls to nature while complementing the rest of the living room.
For minimalist schemes, we love warming materials that might help an all-white or beige colored room feel less stark. Think wood or touches marble, or even subtle glimmers of gold or brass.
'I prefer using end tables made from a single material to keep the look simple and cohesive,' says Kashi Shikunova, director of minimalist interior design studio, YAM Interiors.
'Incorporating simple shapes with soft edges adds a sense of warmth and creates the desired warm minimalist aesthetic. Wood or honed stone is my material of choice for similar reasons, as it introduces warthm and tactility to the space. I tend to avoid shiny chrome and excessive metal, as they can make the space feel too rigid and cold.'
