Whether it’s in your living room, bedroom, or foyer, a console table’s styling and decoration may enhance or ruin a space. After all, a console table is a noticeable piece of furniture.
If you let it accumulate dust and clutter, it will become unsightly; however, if you cultivate it tastefully, it will instantly brighten a space. It would also be a wasted opportunity to create a fantastic vignette if its surface remained barren.
To help you create a living area that is sophisticated, enticing, and uniquely your own, we’ve put up console table styling ideas for your foyer table décor.
Add Texture to the Console Table: Console tables are popular among interior designers. Console tables give a nod to vintage glam yet will withstand the versatility of just about any future style. However, glass or acrylic tables need a textile or fabric within eyesight. A stool—or two with covered buttons and silk cushions adds a sophisticated cosiness. More texture and intrigue are provided by the pleated linen lampshade.
Vary Heights and Shapes of Objects: Variety is essential for styling. Depending on the size of your table, there will be differences in the exact formula to use. For smaller consoles, two to three different height sections are great, and for longer consoles, try two symmetrical heights on either end of the console with mixed heights in between.
Console Table with Gold Accents: This tiny console table at the end of a narrow hallway is dressed up with gold elements like gilded picture frames and an elaborate two-light wall sconce. Consider the wall above the console as a visual extension of the table rather than limiting your console table decor to the furniture’s surface.
Add Some Lights: It’s too gloomy to step into a dark doorway. Both provide pleasing lighting that highlights your console table and brightens the surrounding environment. Choosing a lamp that blends with your home’s design will look fantastic. A sleek, futuristic lamp would look great in a modern home, while a classic lantern on the console table would look great in a more rustic one.
Being a Decorative Surface is Often its Primary Use: They are not tables to eat dinner off of or used for arts and crafts due to their smooth surface design. Instead, use it as a stage to present your taste and ornament, plant, or technology collections. They elegantly enclose special artwork and décor, setting it high enough to be seen by those sitting down and by those standing.
Stack Books and Boxes: Arrange a couple of stacks of books (large design books are ideal) and ornamental boxes on each shelf. These will serve as accent pedestals, enabling you to arrange objects at different heights to establish a visually captivating rhythm.
Balance, not perfect symmetry, is the goal here, so don’t worry about making perfectly even stacks; in fact, a little variation will make the final product look more intriguing.
Artsy Chic: Style your console table so that it blends in with the arrangement without being too noticeable if it is positioned close to the sofa set or another main piece of furniture in your space. Arranging medium-sized artboards of comparable sizes on the table is one method to do this. You may even use the area beneath the table to arrange artwork, vases, and other décor accessories to create a cosier and more personal feeling.
Console Table with Storage Baskets: Draw inspiration from this airy and light foyer and use attractive woven baskets to adorn a console table with useful storage. This dark wood console table has two open-top baskets on its bottom shelf that offer a lovely textural element, make it simple to reach frequently used items, and keep the entryway tidy and clutter-free.
Create a Focal Point: Some stylish possibilities are a well-chosen gallery wall, a statement piece of art, or a striking wall mirror to add depth to your console table design.
A large mirror may increase the sense of space in a small doorway and facilitate the flow of natural light throughout your space. Practically speaking, a decorative mirror is useful for taking self-portraits when you enter and exit your house.
Oversized mirrors might give your console table’s decor a little extra wow factor, depending on how they’re designed. Consider a large mirror for your foyer that has a touch of Aussie design, a frame made by hand with an inlay of bone, exquisite cowries, imitation feathers, or old-fashioned brass surrounds.
Elevate Your Entryway With Console Table
Now that you know how to arrange a console table, does this give you greater confidence in your styling skills? Examine the points above slowly and make copies of the designs for your console table until you feel more at ease with styling. Soon enough, you’ll be an expert at doing it on your own! Because they are thin, console tables may fit into small spaces like hallways, entryways, dining rooms, and living rooms. They also give space for table lamps and displays of ornamental items and artwork. Instead of placing it up against the wall, you may find one behind a couch in the latter area.
