Allow me to wax emphatically for a moment. Because damn, I love a console table. The slim table is a humble piece, but it's got a hell of a lot of style. They come in a range of materials, sizes and shapes. Which is good because I don't think I could have enough of them. I want one behind my sofa. I want one in my entryway. Maybe under the window in my bedroom. And you know what, I can have all these because that's how versatile and functional a console table is—it can be anything and everything. Don't have room for a proper media console or a home bar? Try one of these, because they're typically slimmer and smaller and offer just enough room to fit a few essential accessories. But even though they don't hold a ton of stuff, they make a big impact in a room. They're the kind of piece that gives a space a tasteful, design-with-a-capital-D feel. Which, if I'm being honest, is what I'm going for. Herewith, a few options for your place.
