Ideas for Decorating a Console Table

If you have empty space in your home that is making it feel a little bare, a console table can be the perfect addition to your decor. Versatile, impactful, and always stylish, these tables have been used for centuries as the perfect way to add a personal touch to your home. Read on for our guide to console table decorating ideas.

What is a console table?

Console tables were originally found in the hallways of large houses and mansions as decorative pieces of furniture that served to add style to the entryway. They are wide, narrow, and usually quite delicate.

While console tables are still primarily used for decorative purposes, they have become more versatile. Many will have storage and they are seen in rooms other than hallways. In a dining room, they might be used for storing cutlery while in a living room, they could serve as a media table.

But their main purpose, for most people, is to create an impactful entryway and to spruce up empty spaces. They can be the ideal focal point for many types of rooms and they give you the perfect opportunity to display home accessories and decorative objects to create a cohesive look.
