How To Choose A Console Table
Finding the perfect console table is just a matter of getting your basic dimensions down, and then picking a style that best speaks to you and your family home.
Make Your Measurements
To make the best decision for your space, note down the dimensions of where you are planning on placing your fresh new console table to make sure it is going to slot seamlessly into your floor plan. Take note of length and width requirements and keep them handy when you are shopping for an effortless process.
Choose Your Style
When you are decorating any area of your home, it is key to consider the overall effect you are looking to create with your interior styling. Below, we’ll break down a few of the favourite family home decor styles and highlight the pieces that will help you to create the considered and chic space of your dreams.

Coastal Classic
A perfect blend of timeless design with a relaxed, luxurious edge, the coastal classic look is a favourite in many homes. Borrowing from Hamptons chic design codes but staying true to a classic state of mind, the Coastal Hall Table is designed in a minimal, square shape and washed with a gorgeous fresh white for a natural uplift. The addition of extra storage with a compact front drawer brings a welcome functionality to its high-style look, perfect for busy family hallways – we’re always in need of another place to keep our keys! Emphasise the coastal inspiration of this piece with a pop tone like ocean blue or turquoise in the form of a rounded vase for another layer of visual interest, or add a candle for ambience and fresh greenery for a zesty flourish.

Modern Vintage
Bringing a touch of vintage glamour into your home is brilliant for those looking to create an art deco theme whilst still keeping things decidedly timeless. The Vintage Large Hall Table showcases an ornate vintage design made from earthy natural materials for a perfect balance between timeless and elevated. Play with tonal decor and layer on wooden accessories in alternate depths for dimension, and finish with pops of neutrals in the form of miniature sculptures or glass candle holders. The multi-shelf style of this piece will open up your accessorising, and you can switch out as time goes by thanks to the timeless tone of the timber material.

Scandi Chic
The Scandinavian design direction will never go out of style! Adored for its stylish simplicity with a warm and welcoming edge, integrating touches of this aesthetic is easy with the addition of a few beautifully made pieces. When it comes to this look, less really is more. Designed with clean lines in a smooth, light wood finish, the Finland Console Table is idyllic in a range of family homes. Made with a peaceful impression that you can switch and style any way you like, this piece will be a foundation in your hallway, living room, home office or kitchen. Play with tones and add textured ceramic vases, or add a pop of greenery for a freshness that you will love coming home to. Match the wood with other light toned furniture or use it as a subtle highlight in an otherwise deep, neutral colour palette for a chic look.
How To Decorate A Console Table
Adding accessories and artwork to your console table is the perfect way to bring a touch of personality to your family home. Choosing a classic piece with subtle yet elevating details will mean that you have a beautifully versatile piece of furniture that you can style differently as your mood and tastes change over time.

Add artwork
Using your console table as a display destination is a smart use of space and creates a scenic elegance to an otherwise functional area of your home. Hang an artwork on the wall behind your console table or lean it against the surface for a naturally elegant look. The Byron Console Table acts as the perfect neutral base for all your styling sensibilities. Play with the dual toned wood and add a deep, cobalt blue as a characteristic pop of colour. This is easily achieved through the addition of artwork and can be amplified even further with the help of a few stylish vases, shells and sculptures.
Hang a Mirror
Just like artwork, a mirror can enhance the setting of your console table and turn it into a high-design corner of your family home. Introduce an arched shape to your console table styling with a curved mirror hung over the piece. This also means you can check your reflection when you are heading out the door!
Style With Storage
The addition of storage baskets beneath your console table brings extra style while also giving you a convenient spot for stashing all your everyday essentials. Clearing space whilst enhancing your home is the ultimate secret to creating a beautiful space that works for you and your family!
