How to Use and Style a Luxury Console Tables for Sophisticated Interiors

If you're curating a home filled with high end furniture and exquisite detailing, a console table is the ultimate accent piece that effortlessly marries style and function. Whether you're furnishing a chic London townhouse or a countryside manor, these boutique furniture pieces are more than just a surface-they’re a canvas for your personal aesthetic.

From artisan furniture that tells a story to lavish furniture that exudes timeless elegance, console tables offer a world of styling potential. At House of Isabella, our handpicked collection includes everything from handcrafted furniture to couture furniture, perfectly suited for modern mansions and grand apartments alike.

Where to Place Your Console Table for Maximum Impact

Hallways: The Art of First Impressions

Your hallway sets the tone for the rest of your home. A designer console table offers an ideal space to display your favourite decor, from sculptural vases to luxury candleholders. Opt for Eichholtz or Richmond Interiors to anchor a grand entrance with prestige furniture.

Pair it with a black or gold arch mirror and a table lamp to create a warm and sophisticated glow for guests arriving at your doorstep.

Living Spaces: A Stage for Fine Decor

Elevate your living room with an opulent furniture. These refined additions can be styled with abstract art, marble sculptures, or velvet stools tucked beneath for a luxurious lounge look.

Layered lighting with brass wall sconces or statement floor lamps enhances the elegance, offering an upscale boutique hotel feel.

Bedrooms: A Sophisticated Dressing Nook

Why settle for a basic vanity when you can have a bespoke console table that transforms your dressing area into a luxury retreat? Pair a mirrored or shagreen finish console from Bodhi with a velvet ottoman and a gold dressing table mirror for a scene straight from a luxury interior design magazine.

Add a plush rug, tiered trays for your fragrances, and soft-glow lighting to complete the ensemble.

Dining Room: The Understated Statement

A slimline deluxe furniture piece like the Ascot Console by Libra Interiors or Noosa and Co’s minimalist consoles is perfect behind a dining table or under a feature mirror. Use it to display cut glassware, floral centrepieces, or stacked bone china—a refined alternative to traditional buffets.

For a hint of couture furniture, choose pieces with brass or marble detailing.

Home Office: Compact Elegance

Transform that underused alcove or stairwell nook into a custom furniture home office. Pair a minimalist console table with drawers from Eichholtz with a boucle swivel chair for a compact work zone that’s as stylish as it is functional.

This is a refined alternative to bulky desks—ideal for modern homes where space and elegance go hand in hand.

Bathrooms: Unexpected Luxury

If your bathroom has the space, a handcrafted furniture console can make a statement. Use it to display neatly folded luxury towels, scented candles, and trays of curated toiletries. Mirrored or acrylic consoles help reflect light and add a touch of spa-like sophistication.

Styling Tips for a Truly Elegant Console Table

Whether you’re furnishing a Mayfair townhouse, a Knightsbridge apartment, or a country manor in Surrey, how you style your console table speaks volumes. Here’s how to bring your vision to life using fine furniture principles:

🎨 Anchor the Look with Art or Mirrors

Place a statement mirror like the Gobi Arch Mirror above your console to reflect natural light and create depth. Alternatively, anchor the scene with modern abstract artwork from Tommy Franks for a refined gallery-like look.

🪞 Layer Lighting and Texture

Pair your table with elegant table lamps, such as those from Pacific Lifetsyle, on either end for balance. Add height with candlesticks or glass vases and soften the look with trailing greenery in ceramic planters.

🪑 Create a Vignette Below

Use the lower space to position plush stools, designer baskets, or stacks of coffee table books. Some of our favourite combinations include:

• Fringed ottomans by Hill Interiors

• Brass-accented storage boxes

• Woven baskets for a touch of organic texture

🪟 Play with Asymmetry

Don’t feel confined by symmetry—cluster objects of varying heights for a more organic feel. A tall lamp on one side can be balanced by a cascading plant or sculptural bust on the other. This layered look brings dimension and warmth to otherwise structured interiors.
