Console Tables

Console Tables sizes and fit

Console Tables are slim, versatile pieces that fit where a full-sized table would feel too bulky. They work well in hallways, behind sofas and along living room walls, with designs ranging from simple display surfaces to more practical options with storage.

Most pieces are rectangular, which suits straight walls and narrow walkways. There are also oval and half-moon styles for spaces where softer lines feel more comfortable. Across the category, the look spans modern, contemporary, mid-century, industrial, rustic, Scandinavian, classic and a smaller number of art deco designs, making it easier to coordinate with existing Living Room Furniture.

Width commonly sits around 85cm to 151.6cm, with a median of 120cm, so many designs provide enough surface for lamps, trays or decorative pieces without taking over the room. Depth is often around 30cm to 46cm, which can be useful in a hallway or behind a sofa where pass-through space still matters. If you are working with a narrower spot, Console Tables 20cm to 40cm Deep can help focus on slimmer options.

Height is usually around 75cm to 85cm, with a median of 78cm, giving most pieces a practical level for keys, post, lighting or display. There are taller and lower outliers, so it is worth checking measurements if you want a table to line up with a sofa back, sit beneath a mirror or work neatly under wall art.

Open display or storage

One of the first choices is whether you want an open design or a storage-led layout. Non-storage pieces are the larger group overall and suit display use well, while storage versions are also well represented for homes that need somewhere to keep smaller items out of sight.

Among storage options, one-drawer, two-drawer and three-drawer layouts appear regularly, with two drawers the most common supplied format. Shelved designs are another practical route, and a single shelf is the most frequently seen shelf configuration.

Console Tables materials and finishes

Materials, finish and upkeep all affect how a piece looks in the room and how easily it fits into day-to-day use. The category includes wood and wood-based designs, stone-led surfaces, metal framing and some glass, so there is a broad spread of looks from warmer and more traditional to lighter and more polished.

What materials bring

Wood and wood-based options are strongly represented, including MDF, mango wood, oak and acacia, covering everything from cleaner painted or lacquered looks to warmer natural-grain finishes. If you prefer a timber-led look, Wooden Console Tables are a helpful way to narrow the choice.

Marble and engineered marble also feature prominently, often giving a more polished, statement-led surface. Metal and iron help create a lighter frame or a more industrial outline, while glass appears in part of the category and can help a compact area feel visually open. For care, wood and MDF surfaces generally benefit from gentle dusting and prompt wiping of spills, while marble, engineered marble and glass are best maintained with a soft cloth and regular attention rather than abrasive cleaners.

Natural wood tones are a common choice when you want warmth and texture, while black, white and grey finishes can be easier to coordinate with pared-back schemes. Brown and black are among the most frequently seen colours overall. More decorative finish directions include black and gold, gold, chrome, brass, painted and rustic looks. If you want a richer timber look, Dark Wood Console Tables provide a focused route.

Console Tables storage options

Because this is a broad parent category, it covers everything from pared-back Scandinavian-inspired pieces to industrial metal-framed designs and rustic wooden tables with more texture. Comparing style, storage and size together can make it easier to settle on a piece that works with both the layout and the rest of the room.

Using size and style

Mid-century shapes often suit retro or softer contemporary rooms, while modern and contemporary styles tend to work well in cleaner, more architectural spaces. For many homes, Console Tables in the 100cm to 120cm width bracket are a practical starting point for living rooms and entrance areas, offering useful surface space without feeling oversized. The Console Tables 100cm to 120cm Wide collection can help if that proportion sounds right for your room.

To narrow the wider range, it helps to compare depth, width, material, storage and finish together so the piece suits both the layout and the overall look of the room. With that balance in place, these pieces can add useful surface space without overwhelming the area.
