Console tables are among the most versatile pieces of furniture you can own. Narrow and elegant, they fit into spaces where other furniture simply can't — hallways, behind sofas, against bare walls.
A console table in your entryway sets the tone for your entire home. Style it with a mirror above, a lamp on one side, and a small tray for keys and mail. Add a vase of fresh flowers for a welcoming touch.
Floating a console table behind your sofa creates a natural divide in open-plan spaces. Use it to hold lamps, books, and decorative objects that add height and interest to the seating area.
In smaller dining rooms, a console table can serve as a sideboard — holding serving dishes, candles, and table linens. Choose one with a shelf below for extra storage.
