There are limitless ways to integrate this Walker Edison side table into your home thanks to the integrated magazine rack. With a faux marble or dark walnut finish, the tones at work with this table can complement so many types of room – and carefully situate your favorite books or magazines. For a touch of art deco and plenty of practical space, you can't do any better than this doubled-up side table.

This magazine rack from Anthropologie is perfect for anyone who knows they want a larger floor rack – and if they have a little extra floor space. Display magazines, books, records and more within this holder, which has beautiful and intricate handmade stitching. While the detailing is dainty, this has a sturdy iron frame too, combining the best of both worlds. It's available in taupe or blue, and the perfect accompaniment to your sofa or side table.

Sometimes opting for the simple choice is the best, and this refined magazine rack from Pangea showcases that perfectly. It has a handle for easy carrying if you want to change things up in a different room, and a whole lot of storage space too. This is a timeless design choice and the high-end finishes make it wholly worth its price.

If you're leaning toward a magazine rack that's a little more traditional, this choice from Anthropologie has it all. The handwoven rattan design is what you might classically expect from a magazine holder, while the open ends mean you're not just restricted to only magazines and books, with the choice of stashing blankets and chunkier objects in there, too. Style it next to your favorite armchair and you have the perfect cozy set up.

Many of wall-mounted magazine racks tend to be wire, which we find is a little more reminiscent of an office than you might like. This marble addition from Barrow Designs goes against the grain, with its heavy white base that's bound to suit an unadorned wall. We love that it is completely handmade and has delicate nickel finishings, though it's fair to say the installation process might be a little bit of a hassle.
