Console Tables with Style and Functionality

Often referred to as entryway tables or foyer tables, console tables are narrow pieces of furniture typically placed against a wall or the back of a sofa—hence another name for them, sofa tables. They are designed to fit seamlessly into smaller spaces while providing a surface for decorative items, lighting, or essentials like keys and mail.

Styles of Console Tables

Console tables are available in various styles, from modern and minimalist to rustic and traditional. At World Market, we offer a wide range of console tables with unique, globally inspired designs.

• Fluted Console Tables: These tables feature vertically grooved surfaces like pillar legs that add texture and elegance to any space, making them a perfect focal point in your home.
• Console Table with Storage: With built-in drawers or shelves, these tables combine style with practicality, keeping your essentials organized and within reach.

How to Decorate a Console Table

Decorating a console table can elevate the aesthetic of your room. Here are a few tips:

• Create Balance: Start by choosing a focal point like a large mirror or artwork above the table. Then add items of varying heights such as vases, lamps, or candle holders to create visual interest.
• Layer Decor: Use a combination of decorative trays, books, and small sculptures to layer your items, adding depth and dimension.
• Personal Touches: Incorporate personal items like family photos or souvenirs from travels to make the space feel more inviting and unique.

How Tall Should a Console Table Be?

The ideal height for a console table typically ranges from 28 to 32 inches. This height allows the table to align well with the back of a sofa or sit comfortably under wall-mounted decor. You may prefer a different height based on its use and surrounding furniture.

Where to Put a Console Table

Console tables are incredibly versatile and can be placed in various locations throughout your home:

• Entryway: A welcoming first impression in the entryway. Use it as a landing spot for keys, mail, and decorative items.
• Behind the Sofa: Position a console table behind your sofa to provide a surface for lamps, plants, or art to characterize your room.
• Hallway: A narrow console table in the hallway can add style without taking up too much space.
