Console tables are a smart choice for adding a pop of style to your space. They go beyond a simple decor piece, fulfilling various roles throughout your home. So, we've tapped the expertise of Jason Granziera, our in-house stylist, to share his best console styling tips.

According to Jason, the secret to perfect console table styling starts with placement—finding that perfect position for your console table to shine.

Need a touch of style in your bedroom? Turn your console into a vanity where a lamp, your favourite reads, and a flickering candle create a soothing and relaxing environment.

Next to your front door, a console table is essential for storing keys and sorting mail, nestled among welcoming decorative pieces. Why not add a mirror above it? It's perfect for that last look before you take on the day.

Work from home? A console table is a minimal yet mighty desk. It's the compact command centre for your most fantastic ideas.

In an open-plan space, a console can be a subtle divider between living and dining areas, offering a platform for decorative elements that tie the room together. And when it comes to dining, it can serve as a modern buffet or sideboard during gatherings, displaying dishes in a stylish and functional manner.

Jason's hot tip: Combine a console table with a snug armchair to create a cosy reading corner.

We love our Galaxy console table, crafted from kiln-dried solid oak with fine veneers. It showcases rustic charm with a sleek contemporary twist, courtesy of its striking X-shaped legs.

The Styling Essentials

Jason suggests playing with proportions for a display that draws the eye. Mix tall lighting elements with lush greenery, and let your personality sparkle through eclectic items.

And remember to layer, layer, layer – prop smaller pieces up using books as a base. It gives smaller items a lift, creating a visually exciting setup.

For a simple yet sophisticated look, we love the Bronte console table. It's crafted from solid American oak and has a clear natural finish highlighting the wood's inherent beauty, all sourced with sustainability in mind.

Another suggestion? Instead of hanging art on the wall, use your console table as a display stand. This is an excellent way to add a personal touch without altering the walls and is perfect for renters.

If you're after a console table with a wide range of complementary pieces, the Dakota Console exudes adaptability with its versatile style and robust solid acacia timber frame.

When styling your console table, let your individuality shine. Each chosen piece contributes to the overall vibe of your home, marrying function with your personality. Jason's insights pave the way for a console table that enhances your space and is a testament to your unique style. It’s a versatile and essential piece in any home design, whether used for practical purposes or as a statement piece.
