When a guest comes to your home, you certainly want to welcome them in the best way and show them the warmth of your home, just like everyone else. If there is a word that has been associated with the term "guest" in our minds as a society, it must be the nesting table. Over the years, nesting tables have also been affected by the wave of change that has hit every area of decoration and fashion, and it is time for these tables to change and renew as well.
About Nesting Tables
Since the word "nesting" is a foreign term in our language, it is quite likely that someone unfamiliar with it would have difficulty explaining the types of nesting tables and what they are. However, the term "nesting" is derived from the French, who are pioneers of home decoration fashion worldwide. The French word "cigogne" means "stork table." This term originated from the idea that it was easier for guests sitting on sofas to reach refreshments served on high and slender-legged tables. The word has evolved into "nesting" in our language. Of course, nesting table models are not just for guests. We can also use them to enjoy our meticulously arranged homes. However, when explaining to someone unfamiliar with them, there’s a good chance they will remember them as "guest tables."
A common mistake is to confuse nesting tables with coffee tables. Initially, nesting tables and coffee tables competed with each other across Turkey. But are they really very different from each other?
Coffee Tables vs. Nesting Tables
In fact, both coffee tables and nesting tables are designed for roughly the same function. They are both placed between two people when sharing refreshments with guests. However, they differ significantly in their usage areas, functions, and history in Turkey. Coffee tables get their name from a fairly predictable source. People used to speak quietly when discussing others in their homes, especially when they were gossiping. Even if the person mentioned was not present, those worried about being overheard would speak in hushed tones, which could be heard as "fiskos" by those not included in the conversation. As can be understood from this, coffee tables are single pieces and can serve at most two people at a time. The history of coffee tables in the Turkish market is a bit older than that of nesting tables. Therefore, when nesting tables, which are much more practical, took the place of coffee tables, they were initially mixed up with each other. However, there are undeniable differences between them. For instance, unlike coffee tables, nesting tables are much more suitable for multiple uses. Their structure, made up of several interlocking tables of varying sizes, makes them more functional for sharing among guests or hosts of different ages.
The Introduction of Nesting Table Fashion to Decoration
Nesting table varieties began appearing in our living rooms and salons in the 1990s. They quickly spread throughout homes and became a beloved product due to their ease of use. It has become quite ordinary—and almost necessary—to see a nesting table set in the guest room of every home you visit. When they first appeared, they were not yet called nesting tables. Initially, to differentiate from coffee tables, they were referred to as "baby tables" because they consisted of smaller tables that could be pulled out. The ability for smaller tables to emerge from within the larger ones likely inspired this name. Over time, these nesting table varieties were appreciated by housewives for their functionality. Consequently, the trend of embroidering the same design on each piece of the shrinking nesting table sets also emerged during these years. This was an opportunity to showcase handmade products in line with the decoration trends of that era.
Nesting table sets are ready to serve on the edges of the salon when a large group of guests arrives. Generally, the largest table is held stationary and non-functional, while the smaller ones are used. However, the modern understanding of decoration, which values both aesthetic and functionality, has also reflected on nesting tables. Now, instead of bulky and stationary tables, there is a growing trend towards more minimal models that include only as many nesting tables as necessary.
Usage Areas of Nesting Tables
In the customs and traditions of Anatolia, guests hold a special place. Therefore, it is considered quite normal to do everything possible to host those who come to our home and share its warm atmosphere. By offering delicious meals and small shared treats, we aim to make our guests feel comfortable in our homes, which reflect our personalities. In such moments, our biggest helper furniture is often seen as the nesting table. The nesting table varieties, consisting of different-sized interlocking tables, can be thought of as portable tables always ready for use in your home. Nesting tables in your living room and salon are among the most functional and preferred options for easily serving family chats and treats offered alongside tea to guests.
Produced in various colors and models, nesting tables offer users a range of options. We sincerely recommend that our customers who wish to have a stylish and functional home pay attention to selecting nesting tables that suit their seating groups.
What to Consider When Choosing Nesting Tables?
It has become common to add a nesting table to the seating group set in ordinary stores. It is quite challenging to think that this option, presented almost as a forced suggestion without considering the other components of the home, the atmosphere, and the desired vibe, will suit your home. However, home decoration is not just about the harmony of a few pieces. It is a vibrant and dynamic whole, consistent in itself with its differences. This makes it difficult to simply look for nesting tables at any store and purchase them separately. If you are someone who always takes care of your home and believes that the place you live is a reflection of yourself, you should pay attention to every detail and try to select your nesting table yourself.
One of the main points to consider when choosing a nesting table is decorative compatibility. Since a nesting table is a type of furniture you will frequently use in your living room, it will draw excessive attention if it is incompatible with the space. This will certainly be noticed by your guests and will disturb both them and you. Therefore, if you make your nesting table selection compatible with your other furniture, you may have made a longer-lasting choice. If you prefer modern living room decor, selecting a modern nesting table would be appropriate. Alternatively, if you are someone who focuses more on details and seeks other qualities in your seating group, you might opt for classic or futuristic nesting table models that suit your other accessories in your home. Thus, you can be prepared for the integrity of both modern or retro decoration. Another thing to pay attention to in your nesting table selection is the quality of the materials and the delicacy of the design. It is crucial that the nesting table you choose is made of durable material, easy to clean, and does not fade in color.
