Amber Lewis said every room needs a tiny table, so I tried it – here's why I think she might have just transformed my entire home

Shoppe Amber Interiors living room with shiplapped walls, a large dark sofa with a striped ottoman, two boucle armchairs and mini side tables.

Amber Lewis has a way of making even the most mundane pieces feel special, and like something I immediately need to copy. So when she took to Instagram to declare her love for tiny tables, saying that there is truly no good reason why you don't need one, I thought: let me see if this theory has got legs.

And I was sold on this furniture trend. A perfectly placed side table for my coffee mug? A chic perch for a candle by the tub? A catchall for keys in my too-tight entryway? Suddenly, the idea of sprinkling tiny tables throughout my home felt like a genius move, and one I had to try in my own home.
