Console tables are essential when choosing furniture for your living space.  Offering both visual ease and organized aesthetic, console tables work wonderfully in entryways, hallways, and bedrooms!  Here are five ways to make the most of your console table:

1.  Entryway

Upon entering your house, a welcoming console table is a place to set down your keys and pause.  Entryways are often narrow areas with limited space for design elements such as furniture, but the compact console table is an ideal addition.

2.  Bedroom

Boxy side tables and curved demilunes can overwhelm your bedroom, making it appear cluttered with large pieces of furniture.  Create a vignette of assorted candles, fresh flowers, and a lovely crystal vase on a sleek console table for a more crisp, organized look.

3.  Hallway

Create a space that is pleasant to walk through by adding a console table to your hallway!  Transform your naked hallway by placing family photos on your console table.

4.  Dining Room Buffet

Think outside the box when managing your kitchen space.  Take advantage of the console’s open underside and layer smaller tables, slim cabinets, or rustic containers underneath the main slab.  Even a small stool or two and –Voila!
