Types of Console Tables Available
Our comprehensive collection at FW Homestores encompasses a diverse range of styles, materials, and sizes to accommodate every home and personal preference.
Material-Based Options
Wooden console tables represent the epitome of timeless furniture design, offering unmatched durability and natural warmth that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. The rich textures and varied grain patterns create unique character pieces that age beautifully over time. Our oak console table selection showcases the finest console tables in oak, featuring the classic appeal of natural wood grain and exceptional longevity that makes them worthy investments for any home. These pieces bring an organic warmth that pairs beautifully with both rustic and modern décor schemes.
For those favouring contemporary aesthetics, our glass console table collection offers modern sophistication with light-enhancing properties that create an impression of spaciousness. These minimalist pieces excel at reflecting natural light throughout the room whilst maintaining visual clarity that allows other decorative elements to shine.
Colour and Style Variants
Bold and sophisticated, our black console table range delivers dramatic impact that works exceptionally well in contemporary or industrial-inspired spaces. These statement pieces create striking focal points whilst offering the versatility to complement a wide range of colour palettes and design themes.
Alternatively, a white console table brings brightness and cleanliness to any space, making it particularly suited to Scandinavian or coastal interior styles. These pieces excel at creating an airy, fresh atmosphere whilst seamlessly integrating with light-filled environments.
Size and Design Variants
Space-conscious homes benefit tremendously from our narrow console table and slim console table options, which are specifically designed to maximise style whilst minimising footprint. These pieces prove perfect for corridors, compact flats, or any area where space efficiency is paramount.
Our small console table selection offers versatile solutions for flats, bedrooms, or minimalist design schemes where proportion and scale are crucial considerations. Meanwhile, our hall console table and hallway console table ranges are purposefully designed for entrance areas, often featuring integrated drawers or shelving to accommodate the practical needs of busy households.
Style Your Console Table
The art of styling a console table lies in creating balanced, visually appealing displays that reflect your personal taste whilst maintaining functionality. Top your console with carefully selected mirrors to amplify light and create the illusion of expanded space, or add table lamps to create ambient lighting that welcomes guests. Decorative vases filled with seasonal flowers or greenery bring life and colour, whilst framed photographs add personal touches that make your house feel like home.
Position your console table beneath meaningful artwork to create cohesive gallery walls that draw the eye upward and showcase your favourite pieces. For practical households, pair a console table with storage in the hallway to discreetly organise post, shoes, and everyday essentials whilst maintaining an uncluttered appearance. Slim console tables work particularly well when paired with matching stools tucked underneath, creating compact workspaces or additional seating that can be deployed when needed.

FAQs on Console Tables
1. What is a console table used for?
Console tables are remarkably versatile furniture pieces that serve both decorative and functional purposes throughout the home. Primarily, they're used in entryways to create welcoming first impressions whilst providing practical storage for keys, post, and everyday essentials. In living rooms, they work beautifully behind sofas as display surfaces for lamps, books, or decorative objects, whilst in hallways they transform narrow spaces into stylish transitional areas. Many homeowners also use console tables as makeshift desks in compact spaces, display stands for artwork or collectibles, or as elegant foundations for table lamps that provide ambient lighting.
2. What's the difference between a hallway console table and a standard table?
Hallway console tables are specifically designed with narrower depths than standard tables, typically measuring between 25-35cm deep compared to dining tables which often exceed 80cm. This slimmer profile makes them ideal for placement against walls without impeding foot traffic in corridors or entryways. They're also typically taller than coffee tables, usually ranging from 70-85cm in height, making them perfect for displaying items at eye level. Many hallway console tables feature integrated storage solutions such as drawers or lower shelves, designed to accommodate the practical needs of entrance areas where organisation is essential.
3. Which materials are best for console tables?
The choice of material depends on your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and practical requirements. Wooden console tables offer exceptional durability and timeless appeal, with oak console tables providing superior longevity and natural grain patterns that age beautifully. They're ideal for homes with traditional or rustic décor themes and can withstand daily use exceptionally well. Glass console tables excel in modern environments, offering easy maintenance and light-reflecting properties that enhance smaller spaces. However, they require more frequent cleaning and may be less suitable for households with young children. Metal console tables provide industrial-style appeal with excellent durability, whilst combinations of materials can offer the best of multiple worlds.
4. Do console tables come with storage?
Yes, many console tables feature integrated storage solutions designed to enhance their functionality. Console tables with drawers provide concealed storage for smaller items such as keys, stationery, or personal belongings, keeping surfaces clutter-free whilst maintaining easy access. Console tables with storage may include lower shelves, cupboards, or hidden compartments that accommodate larger items such as shoes, bags, or seasonal decorations. Some designs feature a combination of open and closed storage, allowing for both display and concealment as needed. These storage features are particularly valuable in entryways and hallways where organisation is essential for maintaining tidy, welcoming spaces.
5. How do I choose the right size console table for my space?
Selecting the appropriate size console table requires careful consideration of your available space and intended use. Begin by measuring the area where you plan to position the table, ensuring you account for adequate clearance for foot traffic—typically 90-120cm for comfortable passage. For compact areas, consider slim console tables, narrow console tables, or small console tables that maximise style whilst minimising footprint. The table's height should complement surrounding furniture and allow comfortable access to displayed items. Length-wise, your console table should be proportionate to the wall space available, typically occupying 50-75% of the wall length for optimal visual balance. Consider your storage needs as well—tables with drawers or shelving may require additional depth but provide valuable functionality for busy households.
