Console Tables

More about Console Tables

For those who love interior design, there’s nothing as depressing as a blank, unused space—or as inspiring! Just the thing to perk up that pesky spot you haven’t a clue to do with, a console table is not only a staple of great decor, it’s also a practical surface to introduce a little dimension and extra storage to walls that need something more than a flat coat of paint.

Let’s start at the beginning, the entrance way. The first thing you see when you get home and the last when you leave, it’s important to make a good impression from the start so great design in this space is vital. Paired with a hanging mirror and some additional baskets below for storage, a console table sets the scene by giving you a spot to rest your keys, take off your sunglasses, and unburden yourself as you come through the door. We also love to introduce some decorative items like plants or ceramics to establish a style you’ll see throughout your home, just think of this surface as a blank canvas to adorn with your own personal flourish.

Offering a place to stack books, light candles, or out a fresh vase of flowers, this furnishing also works great in the living room. Placed against the wall or the back of a couch, this addition can help divide the room and establish a solid boundary sometimes needed to give a freestanding sofa something to rest against. Simply make sure your console is approximately the same height as the back of your couch, adorn with a chic table lamp for a warm glow, and your space will be even more inviting for a relaxing evening spent lounging around.
