Outdoor Side Tables

Put Everything Within Reach With Outdoor Side Tables

Your drink slips off the armrest, your phone's buried under a cushion, and the snack bowl keeps tipping over. Sound familiar?

That's where outdoor side tables come in. They're the small addition that makes your outdoor area feel more relaxed, organised, and ready for anything. At Amart, we've got styles to suit every space and budget, all built to handle the Australian climate with ease.

Small addition, big impact on your outdoor space

It doesn’t take much to make your outdoor setup more inviting. A well-placed side table adds everyday ease and helps pull your space together.

Think of it as the little helper that does a lot:

• Adds a spot to hold drinks, snacks or sunscreen so your outdoor lounge stays clutter-free.
• Brings balance to your outdoor furniture layout while tying the look together.
• Makes entertaining feel easier with everything close by, especially in Australia’s long outdoor seasons.

Can you use an indoor side table outdoors?

You could try, but it won't last long. Indoor furniture, like coffee tables, isn't built to handle rain, UV rays, or humidity, so it'll warp, fade, or fall apart fast.

Purpose-built outdoor living pieces are designed differently. Materials like rattan, wicker, or teak are treated to withstand Australian weather conditions without cracking or losing their finish.

We stock tables made specifically for the outdoors, so you get durability and style that actually lasts.

Finding the perfect side table for your patio

The right side table adds function without clutter and brings your layout together. Keep these tips in mind while you browse:

• Space available: Measure up so your table fits without crowding the rest of your setup.
• Function: Think about whether you need it for drinks, plants or display pieces.
• Durability: Look for materials that can handle the elements.
• Style match: Choose something that works with your existing furniture for a natural flow.

What outdoor side tables does Amart offer?

Whether you're furnishing a full outdoor setup or just need a handy surface, we’ve got new arrivals and best sellers that suit different needs and looks.

Here are some options you'll find in our range:

1. Powder-coated metal side table: Built with a durable metal frame and available in charcoal, this one works just as well next to your outdoor coffee table as it does in your living room.
2. Acacia timber side table: Made from quality timber in charcoal or white, this design pairs beautifully with classic outdoor chairs and holds drinks, books, or magazines with ease.
3. Solid eucalyptus side table: Features a hand-brushed finish in dark grey wash and brings natural texture to your patio with its compact, sturdy build.

How big should your outdoor side table be?

The right size depends on your seating area and how you plan to use the surface. Your side table should sit roughly level with your furniture armrests for easy reach.

Small outdoor side tables are ideal for tight spots like balconies, where space is limited but surface matters. For larger patios, go for a wider table top that suits group settings and adds balance to your layout.

Smart placement ideas for maximum convenience

Where you position your side tables can change how you use your space. It's about making things easier while adding to the overall styling.

Try these placement ideas to get the most out of your setup:

• Position side tables next to outdoor sofas or loungers for drinks and essentials within arm’s reach.
• Place a table between outdoor chairs to share space and offer convenience during conversations.
• Keep one near your BBQ for quick access to condiments and utensils.
• Use outdoor accent tables to fill empty corners and add balance to your layout.
• Group smaller tables together for flexible styling and extra surface space.

Once you've found the right spot, it's time to think about what goes on top.

What belongs on your outdoor side table?

A few well-chosen pieces can bring warmth and purpose to your living space. Think useful, weather-resistant, and easy to move when needed.

Spruce up your table with these ideas:

• Add a tray with drinks and glassware for afternoon catch-ups.
• Use a foldable lantern or candle for soft evening light.
• Stack a few books or magazines to keep things casual.
• Pair with other weather-resistant outdoor accessories from Amart to keep the setup cohesive.

Should you match your outdoor side table with other patio furniture?

Matching your side table with outdoor dining tables or lounge chairs creates a unified, polished look. But mixing materials and colours, like taupe tones paired with natural wood finishes, adds depth and warmth to your outdoor space. Striking the right balance between coordination and contrast allows your style to shine while making the area welcoming and comfortable.

Our collections also include indoor favourites such as TV units and shoe cabinets for your living room, and bedside tables and ensembles for your sleeping quarters. Check out gift cards and vouchers for easy gifting, or visit our FAQs for helpful answers.
