The Underrated Furniture Hero
It’s easy to overlook a console table when thinking about what your home really needs. But the truth is, this slim, often understated piece of furniture has the power to transform not just how your space looks—but how it works. Whether you're styling a hallway, need extra surface area in a dining room, or want a spot behind the sofa that isn’t just collecting dust, the console table makes itself useful without fuss.
Not Just for Hallways
Traditionally used in entryways, the console table has shaken off its narrow reputation. Now, it’s just as likely to show up in living rooms, bedrooms, or even kitchens. And it’s not hard to see why. These tables are shallow enough to fit in tight spaces, yet long enough to add presence.
In the living room, a console table behind the sofa creates a visual divide in an open-plan setup. Add a table lamp, a tray for remotes, and a few well-chosen books, and suddenly, it’s doing more than just filling a gap—it’s anchoring the space.
Storage, Style, and Surface
One of the biggest draws of the console table is its ability to offer surface space without the bulk. This is particularly useful in narrow areas like hallways or transitional zones. Style it with a bowl for keys, a mirror to open up the space, and a lamp for soft lighting.
Many designs come with drawers or lower shelves, giving you options to hide away clutter or stack storage baskets. It’s an easy way to make your home feel tidier, instantly.
Choosing the Right Fit
When choosing a console table, think about how it will be used. If it’s going in the hallway, durability matters—this spot sees a lot of action. For behind a sofa, height is key. Make sure it doesn’t tower above the back of your lounge. In a bedroom, consider one with drawers to double as a vanity or extra storage.
Timber console tables work well in almost every setting. They add warmth and texture without overwhelming a space. Black finishes offer contrast and can help ground a light room, while pale wood blends into the background if you’re after a softer look.

Make It Work Harder
A console table isn’t just a pretty face. In small homes, it can function as a desk, a mini bar, or even a TV stand. It's ideal for placing décor items at eye level, which is key for creating a layered look.
Styling tip: group objects in odd numbers, and vary the height. Think lamp, artwork leaned against the wall, a stack of books, and a ceramic piece or two. If your table has a bottom shelf, use it to store blankets in a low basket, or display larger items you don’t want cluttering the top.
