You might be thinking, what the heck is a console table?! And why do I even need it. Well a console table is such a great tool for home decorating. It’s this type of long and thin table that’s meant to be placed against a wall or the back of a living room couch and it’s meant to have various pieces of decor on it to make it more stylish.
A console table is a great decorating tool because, well, think of any space in your house that just seems a little too empty. The space just a too little bland and boring. But you definitely don’t want to clutter up the space with anything unnecessary and you don’t want to leave the space empty either. Think of places like your hallway or your entryway, even your living room walls. Places you don’t want to do too much with but still kinda want to decorate.
A console table is that in between. A way to fill up that space in a way that is stylish and chic but doesn’t fill it up instead with unnecessary junk. Sometimes a console table is a great way to add storage space to your home in a way that is hidden and also looks good. There are so many ways to style up a console table to make it work for any space!
