Let’s discuss these console styling ideas in more detail.
Add a painting
Choose a nice bold artwork that can go well with your console table. This statement piece can highlight the sleek, elegant vignette and will also give you a chance to showcase your taste for art. If you like to paint yourself, go for abstract colourful patterns.
Also, make sure the statement piece you choose is placed in a way that makes your table pop, just like anchoring it to the centre. It should be just the right size, narrower than the width of your table by a few inches on each side so that it doesn’t seem top-heavy.
Stylish mirror
Create visual interest on your console table by hanging a stylish mirror or by showcasing different objects of varying heights. Keep a globe presenting different countries of the world. Include tall vases, sculpture or a planter to give a touch of elegance and style to your bare console table.
Light it up
Use candles and decorative lights to illuminate your console table. The light will reflect off each piece of the curios you want to highlight. Choose a boldly coloured lamp or go for a metal arched one, depending on the length of your console table. Pair it with beautifully decorated terrariums, mementos from your recent travel and metal picture frames to add a personal touch to the space.
Farmhouse rustic style
Decorating your console table does not mean you have to go for a stylish and expensive piece of furniture. Go for a rugged and rustic look with a simple farmhouse style console. Place a tin box with your collection of pebbles. Keep stacks of books that you love on each shelf of the console to create a visual interest. Place a comfy chair in front of the table where you can sit and read at leisure.
Minimalist design
You don’t have to be extravagant while decorating your console table. Use a minimalist design to make sure that your console table is the star of the show. Keep minimal accessories on the table. Make use of storage space under the table if you like to keep things organized. Place ceramic or marble vases on the table with fresh flowers to complete the look.
Play with symmetry
Placing colour-coordinated lamps, sculptures and art pieces make your space not only neat and tidy but also artful. If you have a wooden table, use golden accents in your lampshades to add a bit of warmth to the space. Or you can use cool-toned marble pieces to decorate the table. Place a golden upholstered bench in the front to finish off this symmetry with style.
