Console Tables

How to choose a console table

Begin with proportion. A slim console can make a narrow hallway feel purposeful without interrupting the route through it, while a wider design gives a generous living-room wall the visual weight it needs. Check the depth as carefully as the width, and leave comfortable space for doors, drawers and everyday movement.

Styling a console table

Build a relaxed arrangement with pieces at different heights: a table lamp, a favourite vase or jug and a small decorative object are often enough. Complete the composition with a wall mirror or carefully chosen framed wall art, leaving some clear surface so the result feels calm rather than crowded.
