This beautiful cabinet in our Revere Pewter and Dreamy Kitchen is a classic piece and can be used with any style. I love the wooded pattern and how it falls perfectly into that space.
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!
Look at how we made a statement in the entryway of our
Refined Casual Living Project. It has a little bit of everything without overcrowding the space.
The versatility of the console table is one of its biggest traits; look at how we used it here in this bedroom, and it still falls perfectly with the rest of the room's elements.
Often, I will slide a bench or 2 ottomans under the console table so you or your guest have 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.
A CONSOLE TABLE IN THE LIVING ROOM
This media console is has tons of storage. 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.
