At Nicholas John Interiors, we stock a variety of different styles of console tables, including metal, wood, glass and mirrored finished designs. With a choice this huge, don’t limit their use to just a hall. To help you, we’ve explored 6 ways to put this table to work
Entryway
Console tables date back to the late 17th century. A must-have in entryways of aristocratic mansions and palaces, they were larger than they are today and featured intricate carving and gilded designs. Mostly they served a decorative purpose, however as times have moved forward and homes have gotten smaller, the classic console has also reduced in size and is built now to serve a functional purpose as well as decorative. These days a console table is a strong focal point upon entering a home. Not only does it provide a place to place handy items such as keys, but it can also be decorated with a lamp, vase or photo frames to create a welcoming and homely atmosphere. https://www.nicholasjohninteriors.co.uk/product/lara-white-and-grey-marble-effect-console-table

Add a table lamp, a paper tray and of course a chair and you’re ready to go.
