How to Style a Console Table: Elevate Your Space with Effortless Elegance
A console table is a versatile piece of furniture that can transform your space, adding both function and style. Whether it’s in an entryway, living room, or hallway, styling a console table is an art that can instantly elevate your home’s aesthetic. Today, we’re sharing expert tips on how to style a console table to create a beautifully curated look that reflects your unique taste and personality.
1. Choose a Focal Point
The first step in styling a console table is selecting a focal point. This could be a large piece of artwork, a decorative mirror, or an eye-catching sculpture. A focal point draws the eye upward and provides a visual anchor for the rest of the decor. If you’re styling in an entryway, consider using a mirror—it’s practical and adds depth, creating a welcoming vibe.
Tip: A statement mirror with unique detailing or a framed art piece in a bold color can add personality without overpowering the space.
2. Layer with Decorative Elements
Adding layers creates depth and dimension. Begin with taller items at the back, such as candlesticks or vases, and layer shorter pieces in front. Books, small plants, or decorative boxes add variety in height and texture, making the table feel well-balanced and interesting.
For a luxurious touch, consider Kasa Kontempo’s scented candles. Place a couple of beautifully designed candles on stacked books or a decorative tray to introduce a cozy, inviting scent to your space. Our luxury candles aren’t just decorative—they’re a sensory experience.
3. Balance Symmetry and Asymmetry
While symmetry can look elegant and organized, a touch of asymmetry often brings a more organic, lived-in feel. For a balanced look, place matching items on either side of the console table, like two lamps or two similar-sized sculptures. For an asymmetrical look, vary the height and shape of the items—think a tall vase on one end and a stack of books with a small candle on the other.
4. Incorporate Personal Touches
To make your console table feel like a part of your home, add personal items like framed photos, a small sculpture you picked up on your travels, or a unique vintage find. These items add warmth and make the space feel uniquely yours.
Tip: Avoid overloading the table with too many items. Instead, aim for a curated collection of meaningful pieces that enhance the overall design.
5. Play with Texture and Color
Varying textures add richness to the space. Try combining elements like marble, wood, metal, and glass. For color, consider tying in the hues from the rest of the room to keep the look cohesive. For a pop of color, add a vase of fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit to liven up the console table.
If your console table is in a neutral color, add a contrasting decorative bowl, a ceramic piece, or Kasa Kontempo candles in a colored glass holder to add visual interest.
6. Add a Finishing Touch with Greenery
Nothing breathes life into a space quite like plants or flowers. A small potted plant or a tall vase filled with seasonal flowers brings a fresh, natural vibe to your console table. Choose a plant or bouquet that complements the style of your decor—whether it’s a single statement stem for minimalists or a lush bouquet for a more vibrant, eclectic look.
