Placing Your Console Table
Practical in terms of function and decorative appearance, console tables should be placed at the most strategic spots to bring out the best of them. While knowing where to place them is not rocket science, your task of setting up your console table becomes a whole lot easier if you understand the layout and form of your living spaces. So start with taking an inventory of your living area. For instance find out where you prefer focal points to be, the available niches and nooks that would do well with decorations and other spaces that feel empty to you.
Functional Foyers
Foyers, especially large ones are often overlooked and can end up looking sterile and empty. This is where the console table can dress it up, while offering storage space at the same time. A place to toss keys, gloves, and mail is a must in a fully functional foyer, and a console is the best furniture to temporarily hold odds and ends.
Sofa Backup
Do you want a console table in your living room but you don’t have the wall space for it? Try behind the sofa set. Console tables, affixed to the wall or paired with the back of a sofa, create arm-level convenience that is as practical as it is display-friendly. By occupying your walls, side tables and console tables sway your remaining living room furniture to take on cosier, more sociable configurations.
Niche Knack
Is there unused wall space in the living room? If you have a fairly gaping corner that makes the room feel vacant, this is where your console table will fare well. However it is best to keep to a simple display here as you do not want your nook to outshine the rest of your living area.
Deck the Halls
Long and roomy hallways are another area where console tables can serve as accent furniture. Placed up against a hallway wall, you can use a console table to hold a phone, display family photos or simply place some ornamental decorations.
