Tall pedestal tables are having a design moment. Have you noticed?! Whether you use a pedestal to display a striking vase or your favorite plant, the result is bold. Would you expect anything less from a svelte furnishing?! Since we’re seeing a return of the pedestal (with a modern twist), today we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite columns and tall tables. Make one, buy one or simply enjoy the photos for design inspiration…
Clean Lines
We begin with pedestals that feature clean lines and sleek forms. At the top of the post and below you will find our first two picks, both from CB2! The City Slicker Tall Pedestal Table has an ’80s look, thanks to its gleaming white lacquer.

DIY Tall Tables
Let’s end today’s post by taking a look at two pedestal table favorites that you can make yourself! While they’re described as plant stands, you can use them to display a variety of items, from vases of flowers to interesting sculptures.

Another beloved DIY: these Mid-Century Inspired Plant Stands from A Beautiful Mess! It’s amazing what you can create with dowels and pre-cut wooden circles! A lower shelf makes this pedestal table twice as stylish:
