What is a console table?
At its core, a console table is a versatile piece of furniture that is typically a narrow, and rectangular design. It is commonly used to maximise the functionality of a space without overwhelming it, given its slender proportions.
Here's a comprehensive look at what a console table is and how versatile they can be :

Console tables originally served as a supportive element, often anchored against a wall, a sofa or other vertical surfaces. Today, while they still fulfil this traditional role, they have expanded into decorative centrepieces in various settings.
The beauty of console tables lies in their adaptability. Whether it's in the hallway, behind a sofa in the living room, or even as a vanity in the bedroom, its uses are myriad. In commercial spaces, they can act as elegant separators in lobbies or waiting areas.
Given Innerspace's commitment to high-quality design, a console table from our collection is not just a practical piece but a statement of style. Expect a harmonious blend of form, function, and artistry that aligns with modern and traditional interiors.
Many console tables come with added storage features like drawers or shelves. Perfect for storing keys, stationery, or other knick-knacks. In addition, the tabletop surface provides a fantastic display space for decorative items, plants, lamps, or art pieces. For example, the Nell console by Sketch has been designed to include drawers and a base shelf.

Buying a console table with confidence
Start With A Vision
Before embarking on your styling journey, visualise what you want the space to convey. Do you want a contemporary vibe or a vintage touch? Your console table can reflect that. Once you have an idea, align your choices with the overarching theme.
Balance is Key
While filling every inch of your console table is tempting, less is often more. A balanced layout ensures your table looks inviting without feeling cluttered. Think about pairing contrasting items: If you have a tall vase on one side, consider a shorter stack of books or a bowl on the other..
Height and Layering
Playing with different heights is a stylist's trick. Use a combination of tall lamps, medium-sized vases, and shorter decorative pieces. Layering adds depth, making the table look more intriguing. For instance, place a mirror or artwork on the wall just above the table and then layer smaller items in front.
The Functional and the Aesthetic
Here at Innerspace, we believe in marrying function with beauty. While your console table should be a beauty spot, it can also serve practical needs. Consider a decorative bowl for keys or a stylish tray for your daily mail.
Incorporate Natural Elements
A touch of nature, be it a potted plant, a vase of fresh flowers, or even a piece of driftwood, can bring warmth and life to your console table. These natural elements can effortlessly blend with any space or furniture, adding a touch of serenity and sophistication.
Personal Touches
Your console table is a reflection of you. Incorporate personal items like a cherished photo frame, a souvenir from your travels, or even a favourite book. Such elements make your space unique and tell your story.
Experiment and Revise
Last but not least, feel free to experiment. Switch things up every once in a while. Your style might evolve, or you may find a new piece you'd like to showcase. Remember, there's no set rule to this. It's all about creating a space that feels right to you.
