Frequently Asked Questions
What types of console tables are available?
Our console tables collection features slim entryway tables, sofa tables, storage consoles with drawers or shelving, and mixed-material designs in wood, marble, glass, and metal. Styles range from minimalist Scandinavian and organic modern to contemporary glam and industrial-modern.

What materials and finishes work best for a console table?
Solid wood (walnut, oak, mango) adds warmth and organic character, ideal for organic modern, Japandi, or transitional interiors. Marble and stone tops bring luxury and visual weight to contemporary or glam spaces. Tempered glass creates lightness and openness — perfect for small entryways or hallways where visual bulk is a concern. Powder-coated metal adds an industrial-modern edge. Mixed-material consoles — such as a wood top with a hairpin or arch metal base — offer the most design flexibility and work across multiple interior styles.
Where should I place a console table?
Console tables work beautifully in entryways as a welcoming landing spot for keys, mail, and decor. Behind a floating sofa, they add surface area for lamps and accessories without consuming floor space. In hallways, they create display moments for mirrors, wall art, and lighting. In dining rooms, a console doubles as a sideboard or bar surface. Pair with a modern mirror above and modern lighting on either side for a classic, designer-curated entryway look.
How do I choose the right size console table?
Console tables typically measure 30"–36" tall and 12"–18" deep — shallow enough for narrow spaces without blocking traffic flow. Width should suit your wall: leave at least 6" on each side for breathing room. For behind-sofa placement, choose a table slightly shorter than your sofa length and no taller than the sofa back. In entryways, ensure at least 36" of walkway clearance remains. Larger rooms can handle wider, more substantial consoles; compact spaces benefit from sleeker, narrower profiles.
Can a console table work in different design styles?
Absolutely! Console tables are among the most versatile furniture pieces. A solid walnut console suits organic modern, Japandi, and Scandinavian interiors. A marble-top console elevates contemporary glam or transitional entryways. A glass-and-metal console works in industrial-modern or minimalist spaces. A storage console with drawers suits traditional or transitional rooms where function is a priority.
How do I style a console table?
Start with a focal point above — a mirror or wall art anchors the vignette. On the surface, layer items at varying heights: a table lamp, a stack of books, a sculptural object, and a small tray to corral everyday essentials. Use the rule of three — odd-numbered groupings feel more natural and balanced. Leave 30–40% of the surface clear to avoid a cluttered look.
