Choosing the Right Console Table for Small Spaces

Interior designing is a concept that may be difficult to complement particularly in residential spaces that are comparatively smaller. Console table is one of the most universal ones which you can decide to place to get the most from a limited space. Depending on your particular needs, it can brighten up a skinny corridor, a small lobby or a corner in the living room; and with the help of a tasteful and well-chosen console table, such a zone can become useful and elegant at the same time. 

At Comodo Living, we appreciate the need to celebrate our unique personalities at home, as well as, make the most of every space available. Being the focal points of most interiors, console tables in our collections add elegance, utility, and storage features to any home. 

1. Measure Your Space First

One crucial thing that any potential console table shopper must do is figure out the measurements in their homes. This is one of the biggest no-nos and probably one of the worst decisions you can ever make is to buy the wrong table for the specific area. 

After getting your measurements, you can eliminate many of the tables and pay attention to those that would fit both in terms of space and design.

2. Opt for Slim, Sleek Designs

In particular, where space is an issue, the appearance of the console table plays an important role. Ideally, there’s nothing quite like the slimmest and neatest designs that could appear as conspicuous as an assert instrument. Thin, straight-leg tables that have fewer curves and a simple design are ideal for small spaces because these beautiful tables visually occupy less room, leaving the area or room more open.

Do not choose a chunky table with thick legs or base; it will only add to congestion in the room. So, for this case, choose tables with bottom ends or the best glass/mirror table tops. These materials reflect light and can help make your small space appear larger.

3. Consider Multifunctional Tables

Ideally, if there is limited space in a room, each piece of furniture should have dual use, within the limitations of what that particular furniture is meant for. To decide on the best console tables it is recommended to look for additional shelves or acting purposes of the table. For instance, a composition table with compartments may help you maintain the organisation of your area by offering shelves for your keys, mail, or other items or compartments for decorative pieces.

If your console table is going in a hallway or entryway, a table with a narrow shelf underneath can be the ideal place to store baskets or boxes with shoes bags and other items that are sure to create a mess. Multi-purpose furniture such as console tables offers the efficiency of form and function in a single artistic-looking piece.

4. Choose Light Colors and Materials

Sometimes when it comes to small rooms colour and material selection could really have a big impact. Shades of parts of the interior that are less exposed to light and equipment need to be made lighter, together with making an interior from lighter materials. If you are able to select the console table then it will be wise to look out for a table with light-coloured wooden furniture, glass or metal. All these materials are very suitable for use in combination with other furniture and do not overwhelm the space.

5. Utilise Vertical Space

In case you don’t have adequate floor space around the console table then try and incorporate the height as well. To visually expand the space you can decorate with shelves, mirrors or art on the wall above the table. 

And, in particular, the mirror can work miracles in small rooms, as it will help to reflect the light and make the space seem larger. Besides making the appearance of the console table better, the addition of a mirror or a couple of paintings will also aid in making the most of the utility of the table.

6. Style Thoughtfully

After choosing the right console table, how one arranges it also matters just as much. However, in a small area of dining, it is important not to overload the table with products, accessories and souvenirs. Choose a few accent pieces that appeal to your unique taste, and don’t overstuff the room.

Some cheap ornaments are a vase with flowers, a candle or even a tray with some or any decorative item. For a little extra height, you could place a tall delicate lamp or just one framed picture. The best way to do this is to keep the styling simple and purposeful, so it does not overpower the table or seem like it is taking up space in the room.

7. Portability by use of Foldable or Nesting Tables

If you are short on space, then choosing skinny or table-slimming tables is a great option, but if you’re tight on space there are foldable or nesting console tables. These elastic varieties permit the adjustment of a table’s size according to circumstances. A foldable console may be easily stored flat on a wall while nest tables could be slid in and out when needed.

Small and multifunctional apartments will love such designs since this will allow you to create more space whenever you want it.
