How to Style a Console Table
Whether it's greeting guests in your hallway or acting as a focal point in your living room, a well-styled console table can elevate your space instantly. Here's how to style a console table for both function and flair, using tried-and-true elements that work beautifully in any Irish home.
1. Start with a Console Table You Love
Choose a table that suits the style of your space — minimalist, rustic, or luxurious.
- Fence Black Console Table (120cm) – Sleek and modern, this black table is a timeless base for styling.
- Evie Console Table Sand – Perfect for Scandinavian or natural interiors with warm, earthy tones.
2. Use a Tray to Anchor Accessories
A tray helps group items like candles, books, or small décor, creating a tidy and intentional look.
3. Add Height with a Lamp
Lamps create height and balance. They’re also practical for dark hallways or cosy corners.
- Coral Table Lamp Black & Gold – Adds elegance and ambient light for stylish entrances.
4. Layer in Books and Decorative Objects
Books add character and elevate objects like vases or sculptures. Choose neutral covers or themed books that reflect your taste.
- Elephant Bookends (Set of 2) – A stylish alternative option to display your favourites.
5. Hang or Lean Art Behind It
Large art makes a strong visual statement. Lean a framed print or hang it just above the table for a gallery-style look.
- Wall Picture 'Line Face' – Minimalist painting perfect for Scandinavian or modern themes.
6. Add Greenery or Florals
A vase with fresh flowers or a low-maintenance plant adds life and colour to the setup.
- Clear Glass Vase – Simple and elegant for stems or seasonal greenery.
