1 Tuck Stools underneath
Living room features a mix of avant-garde, subtle, and sculptural accents. A rustic wood console makes a beautiful surface for sculptural vessels and is a great place for extra seating.
2 Display on-Theme Flowers
Take a page out of decorating book and use floral that match the artwork. This is the ultimate way to bring art to life. This is even better when you use cheeky vases. This is refreshingly fashion-forward because of the juxtaposition between the playful and classic pieces.
3 Take it to the Dining Room
Another great place to put console tables is in dining rooms. There are plenty of places for floral arrangements and plating. You can either choose a classic console, or a buffet, but you might also consider adding a lamp to provide additional task lighting that is still stylish.
4 Structuring the Floors
If a console table is not in use, the space between it and the floor can seem awkward. Two decorative baskets were the perfect solution. They complement the antique tabletop and also add a casual flair.
5 Slides into a Bench
While decorative items can look great in the gap zone, you could also choose to use a functional piece such as a bench. It can then be hidden away when it is not in use, keeping that walkway clear. The console is highlighted by the mirror-like shape. It makes the most of the space below a stairway.
6 Mix & Match
A dramatic console should accompany the unexpectedly striking hot pink walls. A traditional vase containing super tall cherry blossom branches is also included. Mod armchairs replicate the patterns of the decorative shell. These pieces work together to create a pleasant surprise.
7 You Can Treat It as a Mantel
You can decorate your skirted console tables the same as you would your mantel with flowers and decorative objects. Candlesticks are also a great way to add mood lighting. A linen fabric draped on this console table in living space gives it a classic and subtle look to contrast the playful, modern mathes console table.
7 Use a Pedestal
There is simply no space for a console or table. A pedestal is a better choice. It fits perfectly behind stairs and adds an extra dimension to the home without making it look out of scale. This is the ideal apartment solution for opening up your living and kitchen areas, as well as your bedroom.
8 Use a Bench
A rustic console that was low to the ground and could be used as a bench. The console’s slim profile allows it to fit into tight spaces while still providing an additional surface for decorating. The space feels more spacious and opens thanks to the mirror wall that surrounds it. The large, oversized photograph against the wall, as well as the modern lamp & minimalist orchard, add an effortless elegance.
9 Drape some Fabric
You are not happy with the way your console looks. Perhaps you are just looking to make things more interesting. The existing console was covered with gingham fabric to reflect the eclectic tone of the home. The vignette looks even better with the metallic vase and pendant.
10 Two Tiers
A double-tier console table offers more space for coffee table books. While the top shelf can also be used to hold keys or light bulbs, the top shelf can be used as a place to keep your keys and other essentials. Pro tip: Hang a mirror horizontally so that it mimics the proportions.
11 Uses
You can create extra space by using an accent stool or a console table that isn’t double-tiered. If you don’t need it as a seat, use it as an accent stool.
12 Stack Coffee Table Books
Another option is to stack the books on the floor, until they reach the table’s bottom; it looks great and helps you keep things organized. Use the top of your console to hold bar essentials in a tray, especially in a living area, home office, or study.
