Spring is almost here and I’m so ready for all the spring things. At the top of my list are some spring cleaning projects, putting away the winter gear and giving our home a Spring refresh!
I love all the pretty Spring things from pastels to faux florals to cotton candy skies on the patio. Bring on Spring!
How to Style a Console Table Ideas
My entryway console is one area that I love to update each season. It’s the first thing guests see when they walk into our home or when they are sitting in our living room, so it definitely makes a statment.
Keep in mind that the way you decorate your console table can make it a focal point in the room if you wish. Placing it either out in the open or behind a sofa can really draw the eye and is a great way to fill an open space.
While each season is unique, I always style my console table in a way that gives the room a fresh new look. Whether the console table is in the entryway or living room, learning how to style it correctly can make a big impact on the look and feel of the space.
There are a few design elements that are important to take into consideration when styling the console table. Color, texture, and scale of items such as artwork, table lamps, vases, baskets, and miscellaneous home decor items are all important factors.
Here are my go-to console table styling tips that you can easily use with items from around the house or find easily in stores or online.
Create height with a large mirror or artwork
Using a large mirror or big artwork on the console table creates height and makes a statement. I personally love using a mirror on the console table.
Not only for those “quick checks” as you come & go but also for how the light from the outside reflects off of the mirror. This is also a great option for a smaller space, as the mirror will often give the illusion of a larger area.
Anchor the bottom with baskets
Baskets not only provide additional texture to the console table but are also useful and functional. They’re perfect for additional storage, such as shoes, blankets, remote controls, and the occasional missing sock.
Add a lamp or tall vase
Adding one or two lamps (two if you want to create symmetry) or a tall vase will help to create visual height and weight. Plus, additional lighting can help brighten the room or set the perfect mood.
Vases are a great addition because you can display your favorite greenery or faux florals in them. Although, keep in mind that it’s perfectly okay for some vases to be decorative only.
Use a Tray or Bowl for Keys
Boxes, trays, and bowls are the perfect vessels to corral objects and allow for a “drop-zone” on your console table. These pretty objects can also be elevated on stacked books to boost their visual impact.
Be sure to keep in mind the size of each tray or bowl you use. If they’re too large for the console table, then they can make it look too cluttered and cramped, as opposed to nicely organized.
Add Decor Favorites
Go ahead and grab your favorite new decor finds and have some fun with styling. Try using items of varying heights when styling your console table to create interest and dimension to the overall look.
Also, decorative objects, vases, greenery, faux stems & glass beads are great pieces to have in your styling box. Using these decorative items will help to fill the empty spaces on your console table and they’re nice to look at too!
Console table styling doesn’t have to be hard! This is a time to display items that you love and especially with things that can easily be swapped out when you want to change the look.
I hope you have found some inspiration in my console table styling tips and are ready to style your own table. Happy styling!
Sadly it’s old from Pottery Barn and no longer available!
I love this post. I just came across your blog. Where is the curved basket on your console from? So pretty.
