Console Tables: Style and Atmosphere in Every Room
A console table is one of the most impactful pieces of furniture you can add to your interior. Narrow in size, but immense in appearance. It often stands along a wall or in a hallway, but always stands out. At MooierThuis, you'll find console tables in all styles and finishes, from robust industrial to elegant and modern. There's a suitable choice for every interior and every room.
Where to place a console table?
The console table is one of the most versatile pieces of furniture in the home. The most popular spot is the entrance hall or corridor. A console table instantly gives the entrance a stylish and well-kept appearance. Place your keys on it, combine it with a mirror on the wall above it, and add a lamp to the side. With these three elements, you can turn your entrance into a real eye-catcher.
But a console table is also an excellent choice in the living room. Placed behind the sofa, it creates a visual separation in the space and offers an extra spot for lamps, plants, and decorations. It works equally well along a wall in the dining room or bedroom. Anywhere you're looking for a narrow but atmospheric furniture solution, the console table is the perfect choice.
Styles and materials: a suitable console table for every interior
Console tables come in a wide range of styles and materials. Choose a wooden console table in oak or acacia wood for a warm, rural or Scandinavian atmosphere. A metal console table in black or gold fits perfectly with a modern or industrial interior. Do you want something elegant and timeless? Then a model with slender legs and a sleek tabletop in white or natural is a beautiful choice.
Combine the console table with a wall shelf or wall rack above it for extra storage and display space. This adds more depth to the wall around the console table and makes the arrangement more complete.
The perfect styling: how to get the most out of your console table
The power of a console table lies largely in its styling. A few practical tips:
Play with height differences: combine a tall lamp, a medium-height object, and a low decorative item for a dynamic and styled look.
Use a mirror or artwork: hang something on the wall above the console table as a visual backdrop. This completes the arrangement and draws the eye.
Group with a tray: use a tray to bring together small loose items for a neat appearance.
Atmospheric lighting: a table lamp or a couple of candle holders on the console table create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Console table in the entrance: the perfect first impression
The entrance hall gives visitors the first impression of your home. A console table is a key element in this. It is narrow enough not to block the hallway and yet large enough to offer atmosphere and function. Hang a round or organic mirror above it, place a vase with artificial flowers on it, and add a small basket for keys and mail. Simple, but the result is an entrance that immediately feels good.

Frequently asked questions about console tables
What is a console table?
A console table is a narrow, elongated table that you place against a wall. It is narrower than a regular table and is intended as a decorative and functional piece of furniture along a wall, in a hallway, or behind a sofa. The console table combines style with a practical surface for decoration, lamps, and small items.
How deep is a console table?
Most console tables have a depth of 25 to 40 cm. This makes them narrow enough for a hallway or narrow space, yet functional enough for decoration and use. In the product descriptions on MooierThuis, you will always find the exact dimensions per model.
What is the height of a console table?
A console table typically has a height of 75 to 90 cm. This is comparable to a dining table or countertop. This height makes it comfortable to use as a surface and ensures a good proportion with a mirror or artwork on the wall above it.
How do I combine a console table with a mirror?
Hang the mirror centered above the console table, at eye level or slightly higher. A round or organic mirror gives a playful and modern look. A rectangular mirror looks timeless and classic. Make sure the mirror is not narrower than the console table for a balanced composition.
Can I also place a console table behind the sofa?
Yes, that is a popular and clever application. A console table behind the sofa defines the seating area in an open living room and provides an extra storage space for lamps, plants, and decorations. Choose a console table whose height is not much higher than the backrest of the sofa for a nice proportion.
