We all have those rooms that just have too much empty wall space with nothing to break up the background. While we like rooms to feel larger and spacious, there is a point where things just start to be downright barren where home décor is concerned. Large gaps or wide spaces in a room can be easily filled with console tables. These elegant yet understated accent tables add a sense of style while adding the convenience of increased storage.
Console tables tend to stand on four legs that are often slender but sometimes intricately carved. The legs support a table top made from any number of quality woods, including: oak; walnut; ash; maple; or even pine. In many cases, quality console tables and are made with a solid wood covered with veneered inlays. Common features on console tables are drawers and compartments for the storage of paperwork, spare bedding, and similar items.

One common place to see or display a console table is a foyer or entryway. Not only does this help fill an awkward space that is common to foyers where there may be room for a chair and perhaps one other piece of furniture. A console table is perfect for the foyer because it gives you a great place to store keys, gloves, and other travel essentials. This decorative but very functional accent table can also provide a perfect spot to place a lamp and illuminate what can otherwise be a somewhat dim area in most homes. Plus, a lamp can complement the table and other décor while providing a decorative element in its own right.
Hallways are another great place to display and use a console table, especially one with multiple storage compartments and drawers. Not requiring any chair, these unobtrusive accent tables help break up a large blank space in the walls found in most hallways while also providing additional storage. Like the foyer area, hallways are another area in the home where lighting may be inadequate and quality made console tables are a great place for a lamp.
The living room is another area where console tables can help add some style and sophistication to the home décor and break-up the vastness of a large barren wall. Console tables make great places to store household bills, stamps, grocery lists, and other items relating to household errands. Online shopping is a great place to find the best prices on premium console tables made in the widest variety of styles and designs.
