We all know that first impressions are significant. The entryway is the first
\ninteraction your guests have with your design style. Which is the reason why
\nstyling your console table ought to be your priority whether you've recently moved in or have been peering at that vacant space in your home. A
\nfaultlessly styled console table polishes off an anteroom or lobby with a
\nflourish.
\nStyling the console table is a great way to play with your favourite artwork and
\naccent pieces. Some of our favourite style tips are as follows:
\nD\u00e9cor or storage: The first step towards ensuring a perfectly styled console
\ntable is to decide its purpose. Do you want it to be a functional piece that is
\nused daily for storing your keys, mail, and other items? Or as a design piece
\nto highlight the aesthetic tone of your d\u00e9cor. This will help you decide if you
\nwant some baskets for storage on the lower shelf, drawers, extra seating, etc.
\nKeep it simple and classy: One does not need too many elements to achieve
\na stylish result. A cluttered or busy console table looks untidy. Using just a few
\nd\u00e9cor accents can create the desired look. Sometimes it is good to add some
\nnegative space for a more impactful look.
\nCreate an Anchor: Choose a bold statement piece that could be a dramatic
\nmirror, or artwork, or even a clock and place it above the console table. This
\nheavy object will center the table and act as a visual anchor by elevating the
\ntop and pulling it all together.
\nAdd height: Adding objects of varying heights like candles and vases on the
\nconsole table creates visual interest and a bit of drama.
\nGround the bottom: The space between the console table and the ground can
\nsometimes look empty. One can ground the base of an open console with
\nmore substantial items in order to adjust the visual weight
\nLight it up: Adding a lamp on the console table not only adds height, but also
\nanother layer of light to give it an extra cozy lighting effect to the space.
\nLayer in Colours and Texture: Once you have the main elements, it's time to
\nadd in some colour and texture! You can add a layer with either a stack of
\nbooks, a sculpture, trays, bowls, boxes, bookends, greenery, floral stems, or
\nany other objects that you love. Keep the colour monochromatic or add a pop
\nof colour.
\nStand back and enjoy the effect of your d\u00e9cor style!<\/p>\n
