Decorating Console Table Like A Pro
If you plan to fill some empty entryway or foyer space, then filling that spot in your hallway with a console table is a perfect option. But once you get a modern console table, you might wonder how to style it and further take your interiors to the next level. Well, you can achieve a designer look and this can be done without spending a fortune. With these décor tips and ideas, you can create an area that fits the overall design scheme you’re going for.
Adding a Focal Point
Irrespective of what size of hallway table you get, you will definitely need something to create a focal point. This can be done by displaying a wide range of things including:
- Mirrors
- Fine art
- Wreaths
- Clocks
You can also use something oversized that can add drama to space but at the same time, you should make sure that it is not wider than the table. There should always be a couple of inches on each side to prevent it from looking too large for a furniture piece. When styling your entryway console, you can even display some odd number of similar collectibles to create a seamless look and feel of one large piece.
Create Height
Usually, console tables are long and low, but you can create some height by incorporating just some small touches. You can place some candlesticks, tall vases, tall figurines, or a lamp on top that will gain your attention upwards. This is exactly similar to what a focal piece above the furniture does.
Layer and Stack Accessories
The glass console looks amazing and the best part of getting a console table is the excitement of accessorizing it. But in this process, you may get carried away and add too many things. If you want to create a layered and cohesive look, you can stack books, boxes, baskets, etc. to help build a base. The linear look can be either vertical or horizontal or you can stagger them on each shelf that will give a more natural appearance.
Fill It In
Once all the basic structures are in place, begin to fill in the gaps. You can place some sentimental items or intricate item collectibles to add personality and interest to your space.
