Collection: Console Table

A console table is a narrow table built to sit against a wall, behind a sofa or in a hallway — a landing spot for keys and mail, a surface for a lamp or a plant, and often a drawer or shelf for the clutter that gathers by the door. Because it's shallow, it adds function without eating floor space. Pick the length to suit the wall and the storage to suit the spot.

Where does a console table go?

In an entry, it's the drop zone for keys, wallet and post, with a mirror above. In the lounge, it slots behind a sofa that floats in the room or along a bare wall for lamps and photos. In a hallway, a slim one adds storage and a display surface without narrowing the walkway. Measure the spot's length and depth first — depth is what keeps a hallway passable.

How much storage do I need?

An open console with a lower shelf keeps baskets and books on show and within reach. Drawers hide the daily clutter — keys, chargers, sunglasses — behind a tidy front. A mix gives you both. For an entry that collects small things, at least one drawer keeps the top clear; for pure display, an open style stays light.

What size suits my space?

In a hallway, keep the depth slim — around 25 to 35 cm — so people pass easily, and choose a length that leaves clear wall each side rather than filling it wall to wall. Behind a sofa, match the console length roughly to the sofa's back for a balanced look. Against a feature wall, a longer console anchors the space.

What we'd tell a friend

In a hallway, depth matters more than length — a console that's too deep turns a walkway into a squeeze. And a console plus a mirror by the front door is the cheapest way to make an entry feel finished.
