Today, we’re taking a deep dive into what I consider to be one of the most versatile and timeless pieces of furniture – the pedestal table. While pedestal tables have been around for centuries, the traditional carved wood bases with chunky legs have evolved into more modern and sleek designs. Thanks to Saarinen’s iconic tulip table in 1958, pedestal tables have become a popular choice for modern spaces, adding a touch of elegance and saving space.

I wanted to highlight this beautiful entryway that didn’t make it into the final reveals. Pedestal tables are a popular choice for entryways due to their round shape that enhances flow and complements traditional decor. The simple base of the pedestal table adds a modern touch to any space without overpowering the design.
Even in larger entryways, a round pedestal table adds elegance and functionality. The simplicity of the design allows for versatility in styling and complements various decor styles.
This particular table was originally purchased for another project but found its perfect place in this traditional space. The warm wood tone adds a cozy touch to the entryway while maintaining a classic look.
Dining Niche Pedestal Dining Table
Finding the perfect round pedestal dining table for this space was a challenge, but the investment in a marble-topped table with traditional elements paid off. The table’s design strikes a balance between classic and contemporary, making it a centerpiece in the dining niche.
While we found some great options, there’s still a need for more traditional-style pedestal tables in the market. The ones we selected offer different styles and sizes to suit various preferences.
Drop Zone Vignette
Incorporating a pedestal table into a vignette can soften the overall look while adding a touch of sophistication. The use of a dark veiny stone table complements the modern art in this space, creating a harmonious balance between traditional and contemporary elements. Pedestal tables also allow for versatile seating options like benches that can be pulled out for additional guests.
That wraps up our exploration of the versatility of pedestal tables. Let’s hope for more diverse options in the market to cater to different styles and preferences. Below are some of our favorite picks in various styles and sizes:
