How to Style a Contemporary Console Table?

Our Linen Grey Console Table with Drawers works well in bright, airy interiors, while the Slate Grey Console Table with Drawers suits a bolder, modern look with darker tones and monochrome accents. Don’t forget to hang a mirror or oversized artwork above to complete the space with height and focus.

What is a console table used for?

A console table is typically used in hallways, entryways, or living rooms to provide both surface space and subtle storage. It can hold decorative items like lamps and vases, while drawers or shelves keep everyday essentials tidy and within reach.

How long should a console table be behind a couch?

Ideally, a console table placed behind a sofa should be around two to three inches shorter than the length of the sofa. This creates balance in the room and ensures it doesn’t visually overpower the seating area.
