CONSOLE TABLES

A console table is a narrow table placed against a wall and used for storage, display or as a decorative surface in both homes and commercial spaces. It is a flexible solution when you need extra surface space without taking up too much room.

Here you will find console tables in wood, both old console tables and models with wooden tops combined with iron frames. Many have a vintage look with patina and a raw surface, where small imperfections and marks are part of the character. The range includes small console tables for the hallway, narrow console tables for shops, as well as a few console tables with drawers or shelves.

In short: console tables that do more than just fill a wall – they make the space more useful.

How to choose the right console table

When choosing a console table, it is not only about size. It is about what it needs to do in practice. The right console table depends on space, function and where it will be used. Start by asking yourself: should it store, display or simply create atmosphere?

Consider especially:

• Size and depth

A narrow console table is perfect for a hallway or shop where space is limited

• Function

If you need a console table with drawers for small items or a shelf for storage and display, it is worth considering from the start

• Material

Wood adds warmth and calm, while an iron frame brings a more raw and industrial look

• Placement

In a hallway, behind a sofa, in a shop or as an extra table in a restaurant or café

A small console table can transform a corner, while a longer one can anchor an entire wall. It is all about balance, not just measurements.

Console tables with history, patina and reuse

Here you will find both old console tables, where the entire piece is reused, and models where materials have been given new life in a new construction. The difference lies in how reuse is applied, but the common look is raw, lived-in and far from factory-made.

Old and rustic console tables with history

Most of our console tables are old and reused. This means the entire table has had a life before and is used again largely as it is. They are typically cleaned and prepared, but patina, marks and small irregularities are preserved.

This results in console tables with character. No two are exactly alike, and that is exactly what makes them interesting.

Console tables in reclaimed wood

You will also find console tables where the wood is reclaimed, while the table itself is newly built. This can be wood from old constructions turned into a tabletop. Here you still get patina and a raw look, but in a new and well-thought-out design where the materials are combined with focus on both function and appearance.

Foldable models with iron frames

We also offer console tables with wooden tops and iron frames. These are typically foldable models that are easy to move around and work well in spaces where needs change throughout the day.

Upcycling with a bit more edge

We also have a few upcycling designs, where materials are given a new function. For example, a console table where an old bicycle has been reused as the base.

These are not for those looking for something subtle, but they work as eye-catching pieces that make people stop and take a second look.

How to use console tables in interior design

A console table can be used in homes, shops and cafés, where it works as a flexible solution for storage, display and creating small zones in a space. It does not take up much room, but it can make a big difference in practice.

In the home

A wooden console table works well in the hallway, living room or bedroom, where it helps collect everyday items and creates a calm base.

In the hallway, it welcomes both you and your guests. Add a raw industrial table lamp to create atmosphere as soon as you step inside, or use unique vases with a bouquet of flowers to bring life to the table. At the same time, you can use the surface in a practical way. A tray or platter makes it easy to keep track of keys, wallet and other small items, so the table does not just become a dumping spot.

In the living room or bedroom, a vintage console table can create a calm base and add function without taking up too much space. Place it behind the sofa for lamps, books or plants, or use it in the bedroom as a light desk or for decoration.

In retail

Here, console tables are an easy way to create display without taking up too much space.

• Perfect for highlighting selected products
• A good supplement to larger shelving units
• Ideal for creating small zones or focal points

A narrow console table helps maintain flow without customers having to navigate around obstacles.

In cafés and restaurants

Console tables work well as an extra surface without taking space away from guests.

• For menus, wine or service
• At the entrance as a welcoming point
• As a side table in larger spaces

They add function without dominating the room.

FAQ about console tables

What is a console table used for?

A console table is typically used for storage, display or as a decorative surface. It works well in hallways, living spaces, shops or restaurants where it can gather small items and create atmosphere.

What is the difference between a console table and a regular table?

A console table is narrower and more flexible. It is designed to stand against a wall or behind a sofa and therefore takes up less space than dining tables or desks.

What is the difference between a wooden console table and one with an iron frame?

A wooden console table creates a warmer and calmer look, where texture and patina help set the tone of the space. A console table with an iron frame has a more raw and industrial look and often appears lighter in expression.

The choice is therefore not only about material, but about the atmosphere and function you want in your interior.

Which console table should I choose for a hallway?

A narrow console table is often the best choice for a hallway where space can be limited. Choose a console table with drawers or a shelf if you want to keep track of small items. You can also organise the surface with a tray, a small container or a box, so keys, wallet and gloves have a fixed place.

What size console table should I choose?

There are a few simple rules of thumb:

• Depth: 25–40 cm works in most spaces. In a narrow hallway, 25–30 cm is often enough
• Height: 75–90 cm works well for storage, decoration or as a surface
• Length: Adjust to the wall. A console table can fill around 2/3 of the wall for balance
• Behind a sofa: Choose a table about the same height as the back of the sofa or slightly lower

In shops and cafés, narrow console tables are often an advantage, as they allow for display without blocking movement.

In short: choose based on the space first, then the function.
