Is your home in dire need of a makeover? If you’re planning to give your space a much-awaited revamp, you might want to consider adding some hall tables into the mix. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they’re also highly functional.
From providing extra storage to being a designated spot for keys and other essentials, hall tables can do wonders in terms of both style and function. Let’s take a look at some of the things you need to keep in mind when shopping for contemporary hall tables.
Contemporary Hall Tables Options
You’ll find a variety of modern console tables to choose from, some more simple and others more elaborate. Because many people associate a decorative contemporary hall table with luxurious furniture, you now have a variety of options for glamorous interiors.
Narrow entry tables with gold legs, those made of marble, or strange, modern furniture that resembles sculptures – all of this is now available. There is certainly a lot to choose from if you want a bit of luxury.
The material used to make the console table should complement the style of the room. The hallway console table is also intended to hold various decorations such as flower vases, figurines, and lamp shades. As a result, you want it to be stable and solid.
A wood console table will be the traditional choice. It is both universal and delicate, and it can be both modern and classy. You can select a table that is entirely made of wood, with or without drawers or one that includes other elements such as gold decorations or a glass top. Metal console tables will look great in a variety of hallways, with both traditional and urban-style decor.
If you want to feel a little more ‘luxurious,’ you can choose a console table made of various types of stones, particularly marble, granite, and slate. The top can be made from a single piece of stone, allowing all natural colours and textures to be visible.
When shopping for a contemporary hall table, keep proper proportions in mind. Choose a console with similar proportions if the hallway is long and narrow, and vice versa. Don’t buy a piece that is not too wide, as this may obstruct free movement.
Where to Place a Modern Hall Table
Although console tables look great in small spaces like hallways, the variety of forms and sizes they are available means you can find one to fit practically any room. They don’t even have to be placed against a wall.
You may opt to place the console table behind the sofa depending on the size and design of the space, as well as the location of the surrounding furniture. Alternatively, it can be used as a visual boundary to separate distinct purpose regions of a huge open plan space.
For example, a slender, elegant console table in the bathroom may be ideal for displaying a bouquet of flowers to freshen up the space, or perhaps some scented hand cream to amaze your guests the next time they visit. In the dining room, a console table might be used to hold dinner table cloth and accessories.
How to Style a Modern Console Table
After you’ve decided on the purpose of the console table, you may decorate it to reflect that purpose. By purpose, I don’t mean it needs to be functional if you don’t want it to be. A console table can be used just for cosmetic purposes, or it can be used as a storage solution or simply a handy surface where you need it. Of course, its placement in your house will have a significant impact on both its purpose and usage.
When it comes to design, decorating something and then letting it discover its own meaning can be a risky thing. Loose coins and other trinkets that you always manage to create while emptying your pockets may inadvertently make their way onto your console table and clog the intended design.
When given the opportunity, habits grow quickly and hard. Instead, if you didn’t notice the propensity when shopping for a hall table, consider placing a tiny basket on it for you to unload onto when you first walk in the door. Using a console table as an entry table is a terrific way to greet visitors as soon as they enter your house.
Hall tables allow us to show off aspects of our personalities to our guests, no matter how eccentric. However, they also serve to visually enrich the room. They are a simple way to bring vitality to a dreary section of the house.
You may use a huge ornamental item as the main point of the space, anchoring its surrounds, or you can choose a symmetrical or asymmetrical design for your console table display just as successfully. When putting things on your console table, keep the height, depth, and colour in mind.
Ornaments, vases, photo frames, lamps, candles and potpourri are common items to feature on a console table. When combined with a mirror placed over the console table, it draws attention to the display while making the space appear more open and airy.
Console tables with mirrored, glass, or reflecting surfaces also help to the illusion of more space. Glass console tables are ideal for circumstances when the console table may crowd a small area. For this reason, mirrors above console tables are especially popular with entrance console tables, with the added bonus of being able to check your appearance in the mirror before leaving the house!
You can choose a console table with a simple design or one with some type of storage solution, such as a shelving unit, drawers, or both. If you don’t want the console table to have any storage, you can always use the area beneath a normal console table for storage with appealing baskets or boxes, or just position a huge sculpture beneath to give even more fascination to the table.
Perhaps you have a stool or an ottoman that you only use while entertaining visitors. Could they possibly fit below the console table? Perhaps you just want to use the area to properly store your shoes.
