Console tables are small thin tables that provide space for things like table lamps, artwork, keys and other items. They’re typically placed against a wall in an area such as the hallway, living room or dining room. If you have a space in your home that you think would benefit from the addition of a console table, this article can help. We take a look at some tips for styling console tables and how they can be used in different areas of your home.

As a drinks table

Your dining room is a popular location for a console table; they can serve several purposes in this room. One great way to use a console table in this space is for storing drinks; you can display your favourite drinks for all of your guests to see and help themselves. Pick your fanciest bottles and things that don’t need refrigeration for an always-there display. These can be placed in a line on the console table or in a tray to make it easier when you need to move things around. If there’s space, you can display a few glasses and add an ice bucket when guests come over for a drink.

Your favourite collection

If you love to collect jugs, statues, or anything else, a console table can be a great place to display these items together. You can dedicate this small space to your favourite collectable items, and if you have too many, you can switch up the display every so often to keep things fresh. The hallway is a good place to display your collection, as it will be instantly visible when people come into your home. A collection of unique items can be a great talking point between you and your guests. If people visit regularly, they may also be intrigued about what items you’ll place on the console table next.

Fresh flowers

Fresh flowers are a great way to brighten up any home; they create a great atmosphere and keep your home smelling fresh. A console table is a great place to display fresh flowers, especially if you don’t have a windowsill that’s large enough for your vase. You can mix up the display by replacing the flowers with relevant colours and options throughout the seasons. Fresh-cut flowers don’t need sunlight, so they can be placed in any area of your home to brighten up the space. Just remember to replace the water regularly, and you can also add nutrients to help keep your flowers looking fresh for longer.

Statement lamps

A popular item to place on console tables is statement lamps; you can choose to use one lamp or two at either end. The lamps themselves are decorative and add a certain aesthetic to your room without needing to turn them on. In addition, console tables with lamps are great for brightening up dark areas of your home where natural light can’t reach. For example, if you have space under the stairs, a small console table with a light would look great to brighten up this space.

Artwork and photos

Artwork and photos can be used in several different ways to decorate a console table. Firstly, you can place artwork directly on the table in small frames; this is great for displaying photographs of you and your family. Another popular way to display artwork is above a console table; the console table then acts as a frame for the image on the wall. You can also add decorative elements to the table which match the artwork on the wall, such as plants or ornaments to tie together that section of your home.

Console tables are versatile and functional pieces of furniture that can enhance the style and functionality of various areas in your home. Whether you choose to place them in the hallway, living room, dining room, or any other space. The styling options for console tables are numerous and adaptable to your personal preferences and the specific needs of each room. Whether you choose to use them as functional storage, a platform for collections, a display for fresh flowers, a source of lighting, or a way to showcase artwork, console tables can transform any space into a stylish and inviting area of your home. So experiment with these tips and make the most of your console tables to enhance your living environment.
