10 Ways to Use a Console Table

Have you always seen small, lovely console tables but never known how exactly to use them? Today we are going to share with you our ten favorite ways to use a console table around your home. With so many great ideas to choose from, it will be hard to choose just one way to use your favorite console table. Often, the shape and design of the table itself helps dictate the best ways to use it. Because of this we have decided to showcase five of our tables and two ways to use each one.

10 Ways to Use a Console Table

1.  Entry Table One of the most common ways to use a console table in and around the home is as an entry table. Why not make that initial impression a fantastic one by opting for a console table that is visually appealing.	2. Functional Artwork A big, beautiful console table such as this makes a real statement. Treat it as a piece of artwork in your home by showcasing it in an area where it will be seen and appreciated on a daily basis. It is just an added perk that it is functional too.

3. Behind the Sofa A sleek and contemporary console table such as this makes a beautiful statement placed behind a sofa that is floating in the center of a room. Not only does it offer up a place to set a lamp, a drink, or a floral arrangement, but the beauty of the table can help conceal the less-than-pretty back side of your sofa.	4. Kitchen Prep Area Do you struggle with a small kitchen that simply does not offer enough prep area? Solve that problem by placing a console table such as this in the kitchen or nearby dining area. Whether you use it to lay out a brunch buffet or organize ingredients for a big meal, you will be glad to have all the additional surface space that a table such as this offers.

5. Dining Room Buffet When you don’t have room for a big and bulky dining room buffet, consider using a narrow console table instead. This console table features drawers for added storage. Load them up with placemats, napkins, and other little items that you frequently use in your dining room. The top of the console can be a place to display large platters.	6. Convenient Coffee Bar Create a beautiful coffee bar in any room of your home with the help of a stylish console table. This mid-century-inspired table features two drawers that provide the storage you need for coffee pods, sugar, spoons, and more. Lay out your coffee maker and favorite mugs on the table itself and enjoy making your morning cup more than ever.

7. Hallway Display Area Hallways and stair landings can be fantastic opportunities to display a lovely console table. The criss-crossed legs and glass top make this console table act as a piece of jewelry for your home. Use them to display a special statue or vase, or set down a tray that can act as a drop area for your keys and wallet. Choose a console table that fits in with your decor.	8. Dressing Table Create a special little dressing area for getting ready in the morning with the help of a console table. Pair any of our console tables with a feminine mirror for a beautiful vignette that helps you get prepared for your day. A little box containing your cosmetics and perfume or acrylic cup holder containing brushes transforms this into a vanity.

9. Desk Create an inviting workspace anywhere in your home with the help of one of our console tables. This simple glass console is completely see through, making it ideal for smaller spaces where you don’t want to take up much of a visual footprint. A ottoman tucked underneath can easily be pulled out to act as a desk chair whenever you need it.

10. Dining Table Whether you live in an urban condo with no dining room or need an additional eating space somewhere else in the home, a console table makes an ideal solution. This clear table could easily act as a little dining table for one. Pull a parsons chair or dining chair up to the table and enjoy a meal in comfort. This table could be placed against a wall, behind a sofa, or in a bay window.
