Console Tables

Style your console table in layers: hang a mirror or artwork above to anchor the arrangement, place a lamp at one end for warmth, and add a small curated grouping — a vase, candle, or stack of books — at the other. Keep the surface no more than two-thirds covered so it feels intentional rather than cluttered. Metal-framed consoles with slim legs suit modern hallways, while solid wood designs with drawers bring warmth and practicality to period homes.

For hallways, choose a console no deeper than 30–35 cm to maintain clear walking space. Standard heights sit at 70–80 cm, which works well with mirrors hung at eye level above. Behind a sofa, select one that sits level with or just below the sofa back. Prices range from £100–£300 for metal-framed designs, and £300–£800 for solid hardwood with drawers or shelving.
