Console Table: Creating Impressions That Last

Thursday, May 4th, 2017

This console from FFDM’s Cachet collection is an intricate yet exciting piece that will welcome guests on your entryway.

The console table is a piece that’s commonly found on the entryway. And since it is on the first part of your home where visitors pass through, this is that area where first impressions are made. This means that you have to be extra careful when choosing your console table.

The best console tables are those that successfully mix function and style. These aren’t just tables that you throw your car and home keys onto. A mirror could even be set up above a lovely console table and this can give an interesting reflection of a stylish lamp or some of your prized family photos.

The console table could also be an instrument in achieving a welcoming oasis for everyone. Just adding a glass bowl complete with fruits or floating candles atop this furniture piece can already turn the entryway into a homey area.

Regardless of your eventual choice, spend ample time in choosing the console table.

Other Areas to Place the Console Table

Apart from the entryway, you can also set up the console table in your home office. Just pick a space where you can plug in a lamp, your laptop and other gadgets and you’re good to go. Choose a console table with ample tabletop space so that you can place your laptop, notepads and other office stuff there.

Place a chair in front of the console – preferably one that has a slim design – and you have just developed a nook where you can work peacefully.

The console table is not just an entryway or home office piece. This can also be used as a TV stand. Console tables that are narrow eat up less space than the traditional media center or TV stand. Just pick a narrow yet sturdy console table, one that can accommodate a DVD player, cable box, stereo and your TV, and you’ve got yourself a unique TV stand.

You can also turn consoles into a bedroom vanity. Just hang a mirror above your bedroom console, tuck a pretty stool underneath, and voila – you have your instant bedroom vanity. Of course, do not forget to place this at an area where there’s a light source such as a table lamp.

The bedroom vanity can also be a piece where you can stash your jewelry and make-up pieces.

Another use for the console table with an open shelving is to have it as a makeshift home bar. This can beautifully showcase colorful glassware and bottles which can be accessed when you’re entertaining.

Create a startup bar where mixers and spirits can be organized. A bonus point is that the open shelving offers easy maintenance. The freshest ingredients can be placed on the tabletop when you are entertaining your guests.

Decorating the Console Table

Okay, now that you know that the console table is not just a place for your keys, let’s go and decorate this important furniture piece.

The first idea is to place an interesting work of art above the console table. If you have a plain-looking console, then be sure to place a colorful painting or photograph. You can also make a stark statement by placing a framed black and white photograph of a fascinating subject. Be sure to place a lampshade or two on the side of the console.

Trophies and other achievement pieces can also become awesome console table pieces. These could also serve as conversation starters during those parties and other activities that you are going to hold in your home.

Are you a huge lover of books? Then you might as well flaunt your collection on your console. Be sure to use awesome bookends which would highlight your stimulating collection. You can also look for hardbound books with colorful spines. These can be arranged to complement your home’s design.
