How to Style a Console Table
Mar 05, 2020

While getting ready for my spring home tour, I decided to play around a bit with the buffet in my dining room. Buffets and console tables are interchangeable and styling works the same. Today I want to show you how to style a console table for spring – 6 different ways.



First up is my everyday look.

Console Table Style 1


The recipe: a pair of buffet lamps, one tray, and a collection of 3 vases of varying heights and colors within the tray. Add some florals or greenery and you’re set!


I shopped my home for the rest of these looks.

Here, I swapped out the buffet lamps for one large table lamp on one side and a large vase on the other side. I love how the pink and coral stems stand out against the gray wall. Then I added a metallic bowl set on a couple of books for some height.

This time I kept the vase but added a pair of tall candle holders to the other side. I also kept the stack of coffee table books in the middle and swapped out the bowl for the sculpture.

Then I thought I would separate the candle holders and bring back the tray from the first photo. I kept the vases, but swapped out the green stems for some spring hydrangeas. I love the navy and white paired with pale lime green.

Console Table Style 5


In this photo, I am using the table lamp on one side and my favorite vase with bright yellow floral stems on the other. Then I added a pair of wooden candlesticks and a coral colored candle to the middle. So springy here!

Lastly, I brought back my buffet lamps and added a trio of items to the middle, including my white pedestal fruit bowl filled with granny smith apples. I think this navy and white, green, and coral color combo might be my favorite for spring this year!


Console Table Styling Tips


  1. Use groups of 3. Notice I always have 3 separate items or groups of 3 on the buffet.
  2. Use a tray to corral items.
  3. Mix in different materials, shapes or textures of the items you are displaying.
  4. Use coffee table books to add height where needed.
  5. Add floral and greenery, fresh or faux!


I love to change up the decor in my dining room for the season, and I think spring is my favorite. However, you can use these styling tips for anytime of the year and use different items according to each season.
