Console Tables

Console tables are usually tall and narrow tables placed against a wall in an entryway or the back of a sofa, offering space for decorations or extra storage. They are multi-purpose pieces of furniture, whether you're looking for something purely decorative or a console table with storage to keep smaller bits and bobs tidy in one place!

A console table is usually placed against a wall or the back of a sofa and is generally tall and narrow to ensure it is unobtrusive. In contrast, a side table is most commonly found next to the arm of a sofa or chair. You would use a console table to display decorations or store away items, whereas a side table is designed to make essential items easy to reach, such as a drink, a book, or a lamp!

You'll usually find that side tables are quite short, as they need to be easy to reach when sitting, and they have a more compact design overall to make sure they can fit comfortably into any living room. On the other hand, a console table is usually tall as they are often used as entryway tables, so they need to be easy to access!
