When selecting furniture for a room, it can be easy to overlook the console table. However, it is one of the most versatile furniture pieces of your home. Like the sideboard, a console table provides useful storage and display space. Plus, their wide yet slim design makes them ideal for narrow spaces such as hallways, landings or behind the sofa. Consoles are a key feature of the interiors of today, offering a wide range of designs with different sizes and styles - so you can be sure to find a console table that suits your home and requirements. Read on to see a selection of our best-selling console table designs or head over to our website to shop in-stock console tables now at designer and affordable price points.
For the Country Home
Whether you're re-creating that chic modern farmhouse look or matching with rustic decor, farmhouse console tables are the perfect balance of storage and style. They have a traditional elegance while also meeting the demands of today's contemporary lifestyles with handy drawers and shelves for storage. Perfect for an entryway or behind the sofa, these rustic console tables look just as great in a country kitchen as an alternative to a dresser if you have the space.
For a Modern Apartment
Industrial style has become a timeless trend of modern homes. The tried and tested blend of warm woods with angular black metalwork is here to stay and industrial style console tables now come in a range of designs - from understated clean lines and consoles with storage for the hallway to dramatic spider legs to make a statement in your living room.
For Contemporary Style
Stylish and versatile, marble top console tables are another trend that we just can't seem to get enough of. Year on year, real marble and marble effect is chosen by designers, not just for console tables, but side tables, kitchen worktops and bathroom tiles too. This timeless trend sees white marble paired with gold for a classic combination of glamorous elegance while deeper shades of marble such as black and brown instil a room with a luxe feel reminiscent of boutique hotel style.
For a Unique Feature
While some console tables blend into your interior, others are designed to stand out. Statement console tables draw attention, becoming unique feature pieces of a room. They can be used to add style to unloved and unnoticed spaces such as under the stairs or behind the living room sofa. Go all out statement with dramatic circles inspired by this year's Curve Appeal trend or take a subtler approach with unique, handcrafted details and unusual forms.
For Eye-catching Design
Like statement console tables, crossed leg console tables are designed to catch the eye, becoming feature pieces of a room. Plus, they come in a range of styles, ensuring that there's an x-leg console table to suit your interior style. This includes wooden x-leg console tables for a rustic home as well as vibrant metal x-frames in polished shades of silver and gold.
For a Look of Luxury
As we detailed in Our Guide to All Things Shagreen, shagreen is synonymous with luxury interior design. So if you're looking to bring an essence of luxury to your home, a shagreen console table is the perfect starting piece - particularly for an entrance hall to set the mood of the rest of your home. This finish replicates the appearance of reptile or stingray skin, creating a tactile and sophisticated look. For furniture, it is used in varying degrees with some consoles simply using a faux shagreen wrap around table tops, while others are draped in shagreen from head to toe, often matched with inlaid gold and brushed brass details to enhance the luxurious feel.
For Modern Decadence
Gold console tables are the epitome of grandeur. And in line with this year's Limitless Luxe trend, incorporating hints of gold into your furniture and decor has never been more fitting. Create drama with an eye-catching all-gold design. Or take a subtler approach with glass and mirrored top console tables with touches of gold in the framework or woven within the detail of the handles for a touch of glamour.
Stunning Console Table Designs For Every Home
From designer console tables with luxurious finishes to stylish console tables for modern and contemporary homes, there are stunning console table designs for every space. Unlike tables designed for certain rooms such as coffee tables and bedsides, consoles can be used in just about any room of the home, though they are particularly suited to narrow spaces such as hallways thanks to their wide surfaces and slim frames. Select a console table to suit your requirements and style with a mirror or artwork to draw attention to a particular space or setting.
