Hallway Half Moon Tables

Half Moon Hallway Tables Make a Unique Statement

Half moon tables, also known as demilune tables, are tables that are designed to be tucked into a small area. They are often used as statement pieces, catching eyes in an entryway or hallway, and their semicircle shape allows them to tuck up against a wall or another piece of furniture, so they take up less space.

Traditional half moon hallway tables may be made from a range of different woods. Older tables might be maple, cherrywood, mahogany, or birch. More modern wooden tables can be made from woods such as oak or pine, and some might use particleboard or another compressed wood. Other tables are metal or glass, or a combination of the two. Many tables have a wood or metal base with a glass, marble, or ceramic top.

If you want the feel of a tropical retreat, you can find half moon tables in bentwood rattan. If beachside cottage is more your style, look for a table made of solid wood and veneer with a driftwood finish.

These decorative yet useful tables are available in a wide range of styles and colours. Although all these pieces are shaped like a half circle, some are especially ornamental, with intricately constructed legs, scrollwork, or carved decorations. Other tables are more modern or austere and feature straight legs and an unobtrusive appearance.

There are also dozens of options when it comes to colours. Many wooden tables are carefully stained so as to bring out the natural colour and grain of the wood. Others have intricate inlays in different types of wood or shell. Still other tables are painted. White, black, and brown are popular options, although many tables are more brightly coloured or feature painted designs. Metal tables are often gold, black, or silver.

Hallway tables are often relatively small and are designed to hold small items like a vase or decorative dish. However, many of these tables also offer excellent storage solutions. Many styles of half moon tables feature a small central drawer where small items can be stored. Other tables have a shelf or two below the tabletop, and different decorative or useful items can be placed there. Some tables even provide a top that you can flip up, so the half moon table can be pulled away from the wall and turned into a full circle table when necessary.
