3 Steps to an Expertly Styled Console Table
Styling a console table is the perfect opportunity to bring personality + function to your space- Create a beautiful vignette with our simple tips.
Whether it’s in an entryway or living space, a console table can truly change the feel + functionality of a room. We’ve rounded up our go-to styling tricks as well as a few decor recommendations for each- your perfect console table is just 3 steps away!
1. Anchor your space
Create a focal point in the center of your table by hanging or leaning a large statement piece. Depending on the size of your room, a mirror can be great for giving the illusion of more space and reflecting natural light. We also love featuring large scale art pieces above a console table for a high impact statement. Regardless of which you choose, this heavy piece remains stationary and acts as an anchor for the rest of your decor. This is a great opportunity to play with scale and add color, depending on your overall vision of the space.

2. Balance it out
After you’ve established a central focal piece, ensure balance by adding stools or baskets below the console table. Adding more substantial items helps to even out visual weight and also adds functionality- think large baskets for shoes in spaces low on storage, or accent benches to increase seating options for occasional guests.

3. The rule of threes
Add vertical dimension of varied scales by styling with items that are high, medium and low. For height, don’t be afraid to go up- popping tall stems into a vase or picking a tall table lamp ensures proper visual weight. We also love adding lamps to console tables for the increased ambience. For lower scale items, accessorize with coffee table books, photo frames and trinkets that showcase your personality.
