A console table is one of the most useful slim pieces you can own - a narrow surface that turns a bare wall, hallway or sofa-back into something welcoming and practical. Our range spans compact consoles for tight entrances, wider designs with drawers and shelves, and slim sofa tables for behind seating, in oak, walnut, painted, oak-effect, glass and metal-frame finishes to match the way you live.
Below you will find simple guidance on getting the height, depth and placement right, so your console looks in proportion and works hard from day one - with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Console tables are all about a slim footprint. Most sit around 30 to 40cm deep so they do not block a walkway - in a hallway, make sure people can still pass comfortably with the table in place. For height, a console at roughly worktop level, around 75 to 90cm, feels natural against a wall and works well beneath a mirror. Behind a sofa, choose a console close to the height of the sofa back so the two lines sit comfortably together. Always measure the wall and the width of your doorways before you buy.
Think about what the console needs to hold. Drawers keep keys, gloves and clutter out of sight; a lower shelf is handy for baskets, shoes or books; a plain-topped design keeps the look clean and airy. On materials, solid and oak-effect wood is warm and hard-wearing, painted finishes suit country and coastal schemes, and glass tops with metal frames keep a narrow hallway feeling light and contemporary. In a busy family entrance, wipe-clean surfaces and closed drawers earn their keep.
A console loves a layered look. Anchor it with a lamp or a pair of lamps at one end, lean or hang art or a mirror above, and add something natural like stems in a vase. Keep a clear zone for keys and post if it lives by the door, and use a small tray or bowl to corral the everyday. Vary the heights of your pieces and stick to a few well-chosen items so the surface feels styled rather than cluttered.
Most console tables are around 30 to 40cm deep, which gives a useful surface without blocking a walkway. In a hallway, check that people can still pass comfortably once the table is in place.
Around 75 to 90cm suits most hallways and living-room walls and sits well beneath a mirror. Behind a sofa, choose a console close to the height of the sofa back so the two lines look balanced together.
Yes, a slim console makes an excellent sofa table, adding a surface for a lamp and drinks in an open-plan room and tidying the back of a floating sofa. Match it roughly to the sofa-back height for the best look.
Many do. Drawers keep keys and clutter hidden, while a lower shelf is handy for baskets, books or shoes. The exact storage is listed on each product page, so check the description.
