A console is the most versatile small piece in the home. It slips behind a sofa, lines a hallway, or stands beneath a mirror in an entryway, offering a surface to land keys and style a vignette while taking up almost no depth. This collection runs from sculptural console tables to sideboards with real storage, in marble, lacquer, wood, and metal. Browse the consoles below, then read our guide to placement, proportion, and styling.

How to Choose a Console
A console behaves differently in each setting: in an entryway it greets you and holds keys, behind a sofa it defines a room and lights a lamp, and against a wall it stands as a display. Decide the spot before the piece.
Consoles are deliberately shallow, usually 30cm to 45cm deep, to suit tight hallways and the back of a sofa. Behind a sofa, match the console height roughly to the sofa back for a clean line.
An open console table feels light and shows its legs, while a sideboard-style console with drawers and cabinets hides clutter in a hallway or dining room. Choose by how much you need to tuck away.
A console is made to be styled, with a lamp, a stack of books, a bowl, and a mirror or artwork above. Leave room to actually use the surface day to day.
Types of Console
Slim, often leggy designs that suit a hallway, an entryway, or the back of a sofa, offering surface without bulk.
Designs with drawers and cabinets that bring real storage to a hallway, living room, or dining room.
Consoles in marble, metal, and lacquer that read as art and make an entrance of an entryway.
Long, low designs sized to sit behind a sofa, defining a room and holding a lamp in open-plan spaces.
Which Console for the Spot?
A Surface and a Still Life
A console is a piece of furniture and a small still life at once, which is why detail and proportion matter so much. Capital leads with glamorous, finely finished consoles and sideboards that make an entrance of a hallway. Bonaldo brings sculptural, contemporary forms, while Meridiani and Alexandra add quietly refined designs, and Talenti carries the console outdoors for a covered terrace. Whether you want a slim table to land keys on or a storage-rich sideboard, the collection covers both ends. Melaaura can also source a console in a length or finish made for a specific wall.
At the Entrance, and Beyond
The Welcoming Entryway
A console beneath a mirror greets you at the door, holding keys, a lamp, and a single sculptural object.
Behind the Sofa
A long, low console defines the living zone in an open-plan room and lights a lamp where there is no side table.
A Storage Statement
A sideboard-style console hides the clutter of a dining room while standing as a piece of furniture in its own right.

Email a designerA console table is slim and often open or leggy, used for surface and display in a hallway or behind a sofa. A sideboard is deeper with cabinets and drawers for storage, usually in a dining or living room. Many consoles blur the two with storage built in.
Consoles are deliberately shallow, usually 30cm to 45cm deep, so they suit narrow hallways and the back of a sofa without intruding into the room. Measure your space and choose the slimmest depth that still gives you usable surface.
Aim to match the console height roughly to the top of the sofa back, or sit just below it, for a clean line. This lets the console hold a lamp and feel integrated rather than tacked on.
Layer a lamp or a pair of lamps, a stack of books, a bowl or sculptural object, and a mirror or artwork above. Keep some surface clear for daily use, and vary the heights of what you place for a considered look.
Yes, that is one of its best uses. A narrow, wall-hung or slim-legged console brings a surface and a sense of welcome to a tight hallway without blocking the path.
Many designs include drawers or cabinets, blending the slim look of a console with the storage of a sideboard. We can help you find one with the right balance of surface and hidden storage.
