How to Choose the Right Console Tables

Start by measuring the wall or hallway where the table will go. Console tables are often used in tighter spaces—entryways, narrow hallways, behind sofas or in alcoves—so check the available width, depth and height carefully. Allow enough room to walk past comfortably and to open nearby doors or drawers without the table getting in the way.

Choose a width that suits the wall. As a general guide, a console table should be proportionate to the wall or space it sits against. In small hallways, a table around 60–90 cm wide can provide a useful surface without dominating the space. In larger hallways, living rooms or dining rooms, wider consoles between 100 cm and 140 cm can create more of a statement and provide extra surface area for lamps, plants and decorative pieces.

Consider depth and height. Console tables are typically narrower than standard tables, often between 30 cm and 40 cm deep, making them ideal for hallways and tight spaces. Check the height as well: most console tables are designed to work as display surfaces or occasional desks, so a height around 75–80 cm is common. Always compare the exact dimensions with your available space before ordering.

Think about storage and use. Some console tables include drawers, shelves or lower tiers for keys, mail, shoes and everyday essentials. In busy hallways and entryways, this extra storage can help keep surfaces clear and the room feeling more organised. In living rooms and dining rooms, a simple top surface plus a lower shelf can be enough for lamps, decorative pieces and serving dishes.

Choose materials and finishes carefully. Oak and natural wood finishes bring warmth and visible grain, while painted tables in white, grey or cream can brighten a smaller hallway or room. Mixed-material designs with wood, metal or glass can add a more contemporary feel. Always refer to the individual product page for the exact material and finish, as construction varies across the collection.

Check the product specifications before you buy. Each console table has its own dimensions, materials, care guidance, delivery details and assembly requirements. Some tables arrive assembled, while others may need legs or shelves fitted. Always review the individual product page for exact details before ordering.

Console Tables FAQs

What size console table should I choose?
Choose a size based on the wall space available and how you plan to use the table. In small hallways and entryways, a table around 60–90 cm wide often works best. In larger hallways, living rooms or dining rooms, wider consoles between 100 cm and 140 cm can provide more surface area and make more of a statement.

How deep should a console table be?
Console tables are typically between 30 cm and 40 cm deep, making them suitable for hallways and tight spaces. Check the depth carefully if the table will sit in a narrow hallway or behind a sofa, to ensure it does not block walkways or seating.

Can a console table be used as a desk?
Yes. Many console tables can double as compact home-office desks or dressing tables, provided the height and depth are comfortable for sitting and working. Check the product dimensions and compare them with your chair and available space before ordering.

Should console tables match my other furniture?
They do not need to match exactly. Console tables can complement your existing furniture rather than being an exact match. Focus on proportions, height and overall style harmony—oak, painted and mixed-material tables can all work well together.

Do console tables require assembly?
Assembly varies by product. Some console tables arrive fully assembled, while others may need legs, shelves or tops fitted. Check the individual product page for exact assembly and delivery information before ordering.
