Things to consider

  • Choosing the Right Console Table for Your Home

    Whether you're furnishing a welcoming hallway, styling a living room or adding practical storage to a dining space, choosing the right console table starts with considering both size and function. Slim console tables are ideal for narrow hallways, while larger two or three drawer designs provide useful storage for everyday essentials. For contemporary homes, opt for clean lines and neutral finishes, whereas oak, black or painted wood styles suit more traditional interiors.

  • Console Table Styling Ideas

    A beautifully styled console table can instantly transform an entrance hall or living room. Try pairing yours with a statement mirror to reflect light, a handcrafted table lamp for warm evening lighting and decorative accessories such as candles, vases or framed artwork. Layering different heights and textures creates a balanced display while allowing your personality to shine through.

  • Most Common Frequently Asked Questions

    What size console table should I buy?

    Ideally leave around 15–20 cm of space either side of your console table to create a balanced appearance.

    Can I use a console table behind a sofa?

    Yes. Console tables work beautifully behind sofas, creating additional display space for lamps, books and decorative accessories.

    What can I put on a console table?

    Popular styling choices include table lamps, mirrors, candles, trays, plants and framed photographs.

Buying Guide

  • How to Choose the Right Console Table

    Choosing the perfect console table starts with understanding where it will be used.


    Hallways

    Slim console tables work beautifully in narrow entrance halls where space is limited. They provide somewhere to place keys, post and decorative accessories without making the room feel cramped.


    Living Rooms

    Console tables aren't just for hallways. Position one behind a sofa, beneath a television or against an empty wall to create a sophisticated display area.
    Style it with:

    • Table lamps
    • Books
    • Framed artwork
    • Candles
    • Decorative bowls


    Dining Rooms

    A console table can double as a serving station during family meals or provide additional storage for glassware and accessories.


    Home Offices

    Many customers are now using slim console tables as elegant desks in compact home offices.

Room Inspiration

  • Console Table Ideas for Every Home

    A well-chosen console table can do much more than fill an empty wall. Whether you're styling a welcoming hallway, creating additional storage in a living room or adding a decorative focal point to a dining area, the right console table brings both practicality and personality to your home. Explore our ideas below to find the perfect style for your space.

  • Statement Console Tables for Large Entrance Halls

    If you're fortunate enough to have a spacious entrance hall, your console table can become an impressive focal point. A wider console table with drawers or shelving offers additional storage while creating a luxurious first impression for guests.


    Style your hallway with a large round mirror or arched mirror, a pair of matching table lamps for symmetry and decorative accessories such as lanterns, ceramics or artwork. Storage baskets placed beneath an open console table provide a practical solution for keeping shoes, scarves and everyday essentials neatly tucked away.


    Larger entrance halls are ideal for embracing bolder furniture designs, allowing your console table to become a true statement piece.

  • Console Tables for Small Hallways

    A narrow hallway doesn't mean you have to compromise on style. A slim console table with open legs helps maintain a light and spacious feel while providing a practical surface for everyday essentials such as keys, post or a favourite scented candle.


    To make a compact entrance feel larger, position a wall mirror above your console table to reflect natural light and create the illusion of extra space. Finish the look with a table lamp, a small vase of seasonal flowers and a decorative tray to keep everyday items neatly organised.


    Style Tip:     Choose a console table no deeper than 30–35cm in narrow hallways to ensure there's plenty of room to move comfortably through the space.


  • Modern Console Table Ideas

    For contemporary homes, simplicity is key. Choose a modern console table featuring clean lines, slim profiles and understated detailing. Black metal frames, natural wood finishes and minimalist silhouettes work beautifully within modern interiors.


    Keep styling uncluttered by selecting just a few carefully chosen accessories, such as a sculptural lamp, contemporary artwork and a ceramic vase. Neutral colour palettes paired with warm textures help create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere that feels effortlessly stylish.


    Modern console tables also work exceptionally well behind sofas, beneath televisions or within open-plan living spaces where they provide both function and visual balance.

  • Traditional & Classic Interiors

    Traditional homes benefit from console tables that showcase timeless craftsmanship and elegant detailing. Oak finishes, painted wood and classic mouldings complement period properties and country homes while adding warmth and character.


    Complete the look with framed artwork, antique-style table lamps, decorative candles and fresh flowers. A beautifully styled console table creates an inviting focal point that welcomes guests while blending seamlessly with more traditional décor.


    Classic furniture never goes out of style, making it an investment you'll enjoy for many years to come.

  • Country House Charm

    Natural textures and warm materials create the relaxed feel that defines country-inspired interiors. Console tables crafted from natural wood or finished in soft painted tones pair beautifully with wicker baskets, woven accessories and linen lampshades.


    Layer different textures by combining wooden furniture with ceramic vases, dried flowers and handcrafted home accessories. Soft neutral colours such as sage green, cream, oatmeal and warm grey help create a calm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for family homes.

    Country-style console tables are ideal for hallways, garden rooms and living spaces where comfort and practicality are equally important.

  • Styling Console Tables Throughout Your Home

    Although console tables are traditionally associated with hallways, they're one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can own. A console table can be used behind a sofa to define an open-plan living space, beneath a window to display plants and decorative accessories, in a dining room as an elegant serving station, or even as a compact dressing table or home office desk.

    Wherever you choose to place your console table, layering accessories at different heights helps create a balanced display. Pair your furniture with a statement wall mirror, a stylish table lamp, decorative wall art, candles and carefully chosen ornaments to create a home that feels thoughtfully designed and uniquely yours.

Choosing the right Console Table for your room

  • Console Table Size Guide

    Choosing the right console table is about more than simply finding a style you love. Selecting the correct dimensions ensures your furniture looks perfectly proportioned, complements your room and remains practical for everyday use. Whether you're furnishing a narrow hallway, a spacious entrance hall or a living room, these simple guidelines will help you find the ideal fit.

  • Choosing the Right Width

    The width of your console table should be in proportion to the wall or space available. As a general guide, leave approximately 15–20cm of clear space on either side of the table to create a balanced appearance. In larger entrance halls, a wider console table makes an impressive focal point, while narrower designs are better suited to compact spaces where maintaining an open walkway is essential.

  • Choosing the Right Depth

    Depth is particularly important in hallways where space can be limited. For most hallway console tables, a depth of 25–35cm provides enough room for decorative accessories, table lamps and everyday essentials without restricting movement. In living rooms, 35–45cm offers additional surface space for styling with books, candles, plants and decorative objects while remaining elegantly proportioned.

  • Choosing the Right Height

    Most console tables measure between 75–85cm high, making them perfectly suited for placing beneath a wall mirror, artwork or floating shelves. This height is also ideal for displaying table lamps and home décor while remaining comfortable to use as a practical surface for keys, post and everyday essentials. When positioning a mirror above your console table, aim to leave a gap of around 15–25cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the mirror for a harmonious, well-balanced look.

Our Top Tip

  • Before purchasing your new console table, measure your available space carefully, including any skirting boards, radiators, doorways or light switches that could affect placement. Choosing the correct size from the outset will help create a hallway or living room that feels both stylish and effortlessly functional.

How to Style a Console Table

  • One of the most common questions we hear is, "What should I put on my console table?". The key to creating a beautifully styled console table is to layer decorative accessories of different heights, textures and shapes to achieve a balanced, welcoming display. Start with a statement wall mirror or framed artwork to anchor the space, then add a table lamp to introduce warmth and ambient lighting. A decorative tray is perfect for organising candles, diffusers or everyday essentials, while a small vase with fresh or dried flowers adds colour and seasonal interest. Complete the look with a carefully chosen stack of books, a houseplant or sculptural ornament to bring personality and texture. Whether you're styling a hallway console table, living room console table or entrance hall table, this timeless approach creates an elegant focal point that's both practical and inviting. Refresh your display throughout the year with seasonal flowers, lanterns, festive decorations or natural foliage to keep your home feeling fresh and inspiring.

Which Console Table Finish is Right for You?

The finish of your console table plays an important role in defining the overall look and feel of your home. Whether you're creating a contemporary entrance hall, a traditional living room or a relaxed country-inspired space, choosing the right material and finish will help your furniture complement your existing décor while reflecting your personal style.

  • Oak Console Tables

    An oak console table offers timeless appeal that never goes out of fashion. Renowned for its natural warmth and beautiful grain, oak works effortlessly in both traditional and modern interiors. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for hallways, living rooms and dining spaces, pairing beautifully with neutral colour palettes, soft lighting and natural textures. If you're looking for furniture that will stand the test of time, oak remains one of the UK's most popular choices.

  • Black Console Tables

    A black console table creates a striking focal point and brings a sense of sophistication to contemporary interiors. Clean lines, matt finishes and black metal detailing work particularly well in modern, industrial and minimalist homes. Pair with a statement wall mirror, metallic accessories and a stylish table lamp to create a bold yet elegant entrance hall or living room.

  • White Console Tables

    A white console table is perfect for brightening smaller spaces and creating a fresh, airy feel. White furniture reflects natural light, making narrow hallways and compact entrance areas appear larger and more open. This versatile finish complements Scandinavian, coastal and modern interiors, pairing beautifully with soft neutral tones, natural wood accents and simple decorative accessories.

  • Natural Wood Console Tables

    For a relaxed and welcoming home, a natural wood console table introduces warmth, texture and character. Showcasing the unique beauty of the timber grain, natural wood complements both contemporary and country-style interiors. Style with woven baskets, ceramic vases, greenery and linen lampshades to create a calm, inviting space inspired by nature.

  • Painted Console Tables

    Painted console tables offer a refined way to introduce colour without overwhelming a room. Soft shades such as sage green, cream, taupe or warm grey create a timeless look that works beautifully in both classic and contemporary homes. Painted finishes also pair effortlessly with natural wood worktops, making them an excellent choice for creating warmth, contrast and visual interest.

  • Choosing the Perfect Finish

    When selecting your console table, consider the furniture already in your home, the amount of natural light in the room and the atmosphere you'd like to create. Lighter finishes can make compact hallways feel more spacious, while darker finishes add depth and drama to larger rooms. Whichever style you choose, pairing your console table with complementary wall mirrors, table lamps, wall art and decorative accessories will help create a beautifully balanced space that feels both practical and effortlessly stylish.
