Console Tables
Console tables are versatile furniture pieces that add style, storage, and surface space to entryways, living rooms, hallways, and other areas of the home.
What is a console table used for?
A console table is a versatile accent piece that can be used in entryways, living rooms, hallways, or behind sofas. It provides a surface for decorative accents, lamps, artwork, and everyday essentials while helping tie a room's design together.
Can a console table be used behind a sofa?
Yes. Console tables are commonly placed behind sofas to create additional surface space for lighting, décor, or storage while helping define open-concept living spaces.
Where should I place a console table in my home?
Console tables work well in entryways, behind sofas, along empty walls, and in hallways. They can create a welcoming focal point while adding both style and functionality to underutilized spaces.
How do I decorate a console table?
A well-styled console table typically combines varying heights and textures. Depending on where you’ve placed your table, consider layering a mirror or artwork above the table. Add a table lamp, decorative trays, books, candles, plants, or personal accessories to create visual balance.
What size console table should I choose?
The ideal console table depends on your available space. In entryways and hallways, leave enough room for comfortable traffic flow. Behind a sofa, a console table should generally be similar in length to the sofa but slightly lower than the sofa's back.
How do I match a console table with my existing furniture?
Look for complementary materials, finishes, and design styles. A console table does not need to match every piece exactly, but it should coordinate with your room's overall aesthetic for a cohesive look.
What's the difference between a console table and a sofa table?
The terms are often used interchangeably. While sofa tables are specifically designed to sit behind a sofa, console tables can be used in a variety of locations throughout the home.
Can a console table make a small space feel larger?
Yes. Slim-profile console tables paired with mirrors, light finishes, and thoughtful styling can help create the illusion of more space while adding function and visual interest.
