On Occasion

BY Trisha McBride Ferguson

 

While cocktail ottomans are gaining popularity as the place of choice for consumers to prop their feet or lay the remote, there’s no shortage of growth in the occasional table marketplace. From traditional to modern to farmhouse, today’s table styles help tie a room together while offering both fashion and function. No longer limited to identically matched sets of cocktail, end and sofa tables—consumers and designers are creating curated looks using carefully chosen tables to set a unique design aesthetic.

In 2015, occasional tables accounted for $3.3 billion in sales, a 5 percent increase when compared to sales of $3.17 billion in 2014. Sales growth in the category from 2013 to 2014 was notably lower at just 2.8 percent. In the overall home furnishings market, the occasional category accounted for 18.1% of total industry sales last year.
