Console Table Uses by Room
The Entryway Console Table
Improve your home’s first impression by adding a beautiful console table to your entryway. While creating a more inviting space, it can also hold daily necessities, from car fobs to driving gloves. Hang a decorative mirror above it for those last-minute appearance checks as you leave the house, which can double as a way to make the space look larger.
The Living Room Console Table
Place a console table behind the sofa or against a wall to anchor the room while providing organization for objects like gaming systems, DVDs, and board games. If it’s placed against a wall, add lamps, a sculptural piece, or a vase with fresh greenery to create a focal point. For an even more attractive statement, hang a large piece of art in your favorite style above it.
The Dining Room Console Table
Elevate your dining space with a console table and enjoy the benefits of added serving functionality. To store platters, pitchers, and other serving dishes, select a table with doors and interior shelves. Or make a bold statement with a more artistic console table that features modern lines or nature-inspired design.
