1. Console tables at a glance
A console table is perfect for narrow rooms and combines a surface, table, shelf and storage in one piece of furniture. There's a wide choice of console tables, depending on where you want to use one and your personal taste. Classic four-legged console tables (1) look like a narrow table and can be used as a shelf or as an alternative to a sideboard. Leaning console tables (2) look delicate and can easily be moved. Wall-mounted console tables (3) seem to float and look light and airy – ideal for particularly small rooms. Console tables with an integrated drawer (4) offer extra storage for the little things in everyday life.
2. Where to use console tables
In the bedroom or dressing room, a design console table makes a lovely dressing table (1) where you can get ready in the morning. As an alternative to a bedside table (2), a low console table offers space for an alarm clock, a glass of water and a book.
Using it in the hallway as a place to put things down (3), such as keys, money and your phone, is probably the most popular option. Hallways are often narrow, so console tables that don't protrude too far into the room are particularly suitable here.
If you want to combine your living room or bedroom with a study, a console table works well as a desk (4): it doesn't take up much room but still offers enough space to work.
3. Materials and colours of console tables
Different materials and colours have different effects in a room. Wooden console tables (1), for example, add natural accents and underline a Scandinavian style. Design console tables in mixed materials (2) fit into almost any interior and look particularly distinctive. A black top can create an attractive contrast with a white wall, while a white console table blends in with the wall, making the room look bigger. A glass top (3) gives a console table a light, airy feel. Console tables made of metal (4) have an industrial charm, and some can also be used outdoors as a plant stand or in the bathroom for toiletries.
4. Summary
- A console table is versatile: you can use it as a table, a surface for everyday items, a shelf or storage, and it fits into any room.
- A design console table is especially useful in small, narrow rooms, as it doesn't take up much space but still does its job.
- In the bedroom, a console table can serve as a dressing table or bedside table; in the hallway, as a place for keys and money; in the bathroom, it holds toiletries; in the living room, it becomes a desk; and on the terrace, a plant stand.
- Different materials and colours have different effects in a room. Wood looks particularly warm, while glass creates a sense of lightness. A metal console table has an industrial charm, and in mixed materials the table suits any interior.
