Wooden Console Table

Let’s say that you have already found the best console table you could find. Let’s say it meets both your needs and your taste and that your console table looks perfect. Ask yourself this: what is the next step I need to take before buying it? Well, the answer is quite simple. You need to find the optimal place for your console table. There are many suggestions I can make about this. There is nothing more annoying than stepping into a house and seeing a console table in the middle of a room. It is completely wrong to use it as you would use a coffee table as a console table is not designed for such a purpose. It will just look weird for your family and guests. There are numerous places in your house that are suitable for a console table and you have never even considered some of them.

Entrance Console Table

A very common place for a console table is the main entrance of your house. You can decorate it with some pictures or statuettes and it will look perfect. Moreover, it is extremely practical as everyone wants to empty their pockets when they enter a house. There is nothing more annoying than walking and listening to the clinging of coins or your keys in your pocket. So you can use your console table for that purpose. You can place a couple of nice, small, silver bowls on it so that you can put in anything that you don’t want to carry around with you in your house.

Sofa Console Table

Another choice you can consider is to place it behind your sofa. If you decide to do that however you need to take of a few things first. What would look good behind your sofa is a long console table with corners. Also you need to make sure that the color of your console table matches the one of your sofa. If you decide to place it there and it meets the criteria I mentioned above then you can decorate it in many ways. You can place family pictures on it along with some nice decorative elements. You could also place a nice vase with fresh flowers but you need to make sure that it is not very tall as, if it is, it can easily fall and break.

Wall Console Table

Do you have a lot of free wall space in your living room? Then this is also a wonderful place for your console table. You can arrange it in such a way that it fills any empty wall space that you have but don’t like. In order for your console table to look good if you decide to use it in such a way, you can hang a nice picture on the wall above the table and again you could place family pictures or some nice small objects on your console table. The shape in this case is completely up to you. You can use anything you like only make sure that it will adjust well against a wall.

Wall Console Table

Console tables are pieces of furniture that many people use in a wrong way. There are some uses that a console table is not designed for even you think that it is suitable. I will list a few common mistakes that people make when deciding the use of such a table.

Console Tables as TV stands

Many times people think that it is appropriate to use a console table as a TV stand. In my opinion this is a big mistake. Console tables may seem practical for such a use but usually they are not meant to withstand such weight. Normally the main reason why people buy such tables is for decorative purposes. This means that normally these tables are used to put a few beautiful decorative pieces on them. It is not always wrong to use it as a TV stand, but it has to be the correct console table. This means that it should be made from the correct material so that it can hold the weight of your TV and also it should be the correct size so that your TV set fits perfectly.

Console Table as a coffee table

This is probably the most common mistake people make and, for me, the most annoying. A console table has absolutely nothing to do with a coffee table. Console tables are made for completely different purposes. First, a coffee table is meant to be short. Its height usually should be at about your knees so that when you sit down at your sofa, your hands will stand higher than the table. A console table on the other hand is normally meant to have the height of a regular table. The correct height in my opinion is about the height of your waste. It is not at all comfortable to have a coffee table that is about the height of your waste in any way and the reasons are apparent.

Console Tables as a dining tables

I don’t even understand how people can make such a mistake. A dining table is meant to be at least large enough to host a dinner for 4 people. Even though console tables of that size exist, it is completely inappropriate. A console table doesn’t necessarily have to be practical and on the other hand this is the main feature of a dining table.

So there you have it. These are the most common mistakes people make when considering to buy a console table and are trying to decide how to use it. Of course one thing is true. If you do it with elegance and care, anything can look good. There is such large variety with console tables that I’m sure you’ll be able to find pieces that fit the purposes mentioned above. My opinion on the other hand is that, since there are thousands of designs for every type of table, you should search every type of table you need for your house separately. There is no need to do experiments. They are all out there waiting for you so try to find the appropriate one for each purpose. A console table is great for many purposes but my opinion is that it is not meant for the uses mentioned above.
