How Do I Choose the Right Console Table for My Space?
+ -When choosing a console or sofa table, consider the following factors:
- Size: Start by measuring your available space. Look for narrow console tables if you're short on space or wider tables if you want a more substantial look.
- Function: Determine how you plan to use the table, whether it's for display, storage, or both. Do you need storage (drawers, shelves), or is it purely decorative?
- Style: Choose a style that complements your home decor. Also, consider material. Wood console tables offer warmth and durability, while metal and glass options lend a modern feel.
