A side table is the most overlooked piece of furniture in most Indian homes. It gets chosen last, bought cheapest, and treated as a surface to put things on rather than an object worth looking at. Which is strange, because a side table sits at eye level when you are seated, occupies a visible position in every room it enters, and is seen far more often than the wall art hanging above it.
India Circus by Krsnaa Mehta, a Godrej Enterprises brand, treats the side table as what should be a functional art piece. Bold Indian-inspired prints applied to well-proportioned furniture forms, creating tables that work as hard decoratively as they do practically. All designs below are currently available at 15% off.

How to Choose Between Round, Square, Tray, and Folding
Round tables suit tight spaces and rooms with curved furniture; the absence of corners makes them easier to move around and softer against a seating arrangement.
Square tables give more usable surface area for the same footprint and align cleanly against straight-edged furniture like sofas and beds.
Tray tables are for homes that entertain; the lift-off top does genuine work when serving guests, and the design is displayed at the ideal viewing angle.
Folding tables are for flexible living small apartments, occasional entertaining, balconies, and anyone who needs a surface that appears when required and disappears when not.
How to Style a Printed Side Table
A printed side table is a statement piece, which means the objects placed on it should be restrained. One lamp, one plant, or one stack of books, not all three. The table itself is providing visual interest.
Position it where the top surface is visible from the main seating position. A side table pushed against a sofa arm with its top obscured by clutter is wasting the design entirely.
Pair a printed table with plain, solid-coloured furniture around it. Against a neutral sofa or a plain rug, the table becomes the focal point of the arrangement. Against heavily patterned surroundings, both elements lose definition.
For homes that want a coordinated look, several designs Zinnian Jazz, Raceme Rosettes, Blooming Meadow are available in both round and square formats, making it possible to place two tables of different shapes in the same room without visual conflict.
