How to choose the right console table

We've got all you need to know before buying a console table.

Where to use a console table?

* Hallway

Console tables are perfect for hallways that tend to be small and narrow. Choose a design with drawers to hide note paper, pens and keys and think about hanging a mirror above to create a feature and make the room feel larger.

* Dressing table

Use a console table to create a modern dressing table in a bedroom and place baskets underneath it for extra storage.

* Living space

In an open-plan living space, use a console table to seperate the seating area from the dining table. Consider placing two large lamps at either end to create a visual divide, or use the console as a drinks table and display glassware and wine carafes.

* Desk 

In multi-purpose rooms, use a slim console table as a desk so it doesn't protrude into the room to far and interfere with the rest of the furniture. Place it in an alcove and fit shelves above for a compact study space.
