This console table in Nicole’s dining room is a classic piece and can be used with any style. I love the wood.


A CONSOLE IN THE ENTRYWAY


A console table is perfect for your entryway. I like to add a mirror above it and place a decorative bowl to stash keys and other items that you might want to grab before going out the door.

DESIGNER TIP: mix the finishes when styling your console table. For example, if you have a console made of wood, use a mirror with a metal frame and a decorative ceramic bowl. Add a plant and some books and you’re set!

This one from Studio McGee is another stunner. Perfect setup for an entry.


Often, I will slide a bench or 2 ottomans under the console table so you or your guest has a place to sit and put on shoes.

Some stairways just call out to a console table. I will set up a console with 2 lamps and a piece of art. You can’t go wrong with this setup. It’s beautiful and makes a statement. This way also works well in a dining room if you don’t need the storage of a buffet.

I love the sconces that flank the mirror here. Simple but gorgeous!


Sometimes you want a console for décor. It’s a great place to add a few seasonal items throughout the year. In a living room you can slide a couple of baskets under the console to corral some of the kids’ toys or books. Baskets are also great for holding blankets or extra pillows.
