Tables are a fun addition to your living space, as their presence means the addition of fun accessories. Their width lends valuable space to appoint that 'gotta-have' lamp and a spot for amazing wall art above. This arrangement will make for one impressive focal point. Knowing your style is the first order of business when choosing a console or sofa table. When considering a particular table, the legs betray its style followed by its finish and any hardware like drawer pulls and exposed trimwork or studs. Together these features help define your space's genre. Console tables- like these with spindle legs - are immediately recognized as colonial, French country and traditional styles. It's a good idea to follow suit with similar leg styles on your other pieces for a cohesive look in your new space.

The simplicity of the straight line belies the power you'll have when decorating. Linear furniture pieces have sharp, crisp lines allowing your accessories and wall art to take part in the spaces overall 'production.' Often, more weighty, ornate pieces are a hard act to follow when it comes to pairing your table with lamps or other chotskies where they'll have to compete with scrollwork and unique finishes.

If you've an amazing table lamp you want to show off it's best to opt for a console table like these with minimal lines, where your favorite accessory can take center stage. In a sense, these linear pieces translate to 'more power to you.' Too, if you're unsure of what table is best in your room, I suggest going with a less is more' mantra -- where you're sure to win.

Weighty pieces like these console tables that may boast several drawers and/or a shelf or two, are not easy to lug around while you decide about placement. I'm forever getting out paper and pencil, drawing out my room's furniture in different arrangements. You don't have to draw everything to scale; just draw each thing relative to its size: big sofa gets a big rectangle and slightly smaller sofa table gets a slightly small rectangle. How's that for math and science?

You may be surprised what furniture placements you come up with. A little planning goes a long way!

Distressed finishes like this table boasts are ideal for several decor genres, particularly with its less- descriptive legs. I can identify a modern loft look with metal, industrial accouterments, like gears and repurposed tools as accessories. Conversely, you can include this table in a rustic, space with a wood based lamp and old books. If you're inclined to change course redecorating every other year, I suggest you choose versatile furniture pieces whenever practical, so you'll only be a few pieces of art and a throw pillow away from your next new look!

Keeping Things Simple

It's okay if you're not among the House Beautiful ilk. Keeping your surroundings simple doesn't translate to boring, rather some of the best rooms are minimally appointed and quite comfortable.

If you're inclined to forsake all the 'fluff' and want a console table that will follow you everywhere, styles like this one can earn their keep in so many decor palettes.

I like the model room shown here, where there's a vintage duo of suitcases below and a metal dish atop. It's easy to see how well a table like this one will meld into your overall scheme. I can see a long history with this style table with its brushed nickle finish drawer pulls.

I once heard every room should have one piece of black furniture and I tend to agree; they're timeless and compliant. And that's a win-win.

As I mentioned earlier, the straight line leaves room for showing off your accessories. These tables all share the same linear design but as shown in the model rooms, there's any number of options for design. While I'm more inclined to dress the table with statues and Italian glass, I can envision a nautical theme or a country flower arrangement just as well. As for room placement, the versatile straight line will go nicely in a home office to house periodicals and reference books, or even a kitchen with cookbooks. It's only a matter of personal taste with these chameleons. They'll certainly call any place home.

It might seem counter intuitive to have a large console table in a smaller space but I'm more keen on using one larger, dual-purpose piece in limited areas versus several smaller furniture pieces that occupy valuable floor space. Console tables like these have roomy drawers and shelving for books or decorative storage bins and baskets. You may be able to replace several furniture pieces: table, shelf and dresser with this one substantial table -- definately a smart use of space.

Adding Natural Elements

Rooms can be instantly 'lifted' with the addition of natural elements like the weaved baskets in this console table. Spaces appear lighter and airy with live plants and furniture woven from banana leaves and wicker. Grasses are often the choice for sunrooms and atriums for this reason.

I suggest adding at least one piece of furniture or accessory from nature--even if it's a hardy plant or bamboo tray. Rooms that tend to have more shadow than sun will benefit most with such an addition along with a mirror to brighten the space.

l'm a big fan of cappuccino finishes; they're a pleasant mix of black and brown and will most likely blend in with your present and future decorating ventures. Cappuccino is a great compromise if you're on the fence with deciding to go with black or brown console table.

There's just enough of both hues in cappuccino and you can add black accessories to enhance the darker color or add light brown chotskies to liven up the brown. Consider adding a rug in the color you're looking to bring out. If you're not sure on brown or black, opt for cappuccino.
