Décor Finishes with Furniture Console Tables

Homes have gotten a lot bigger over the past few decades. Think back to your youth for a moment. We seemed to get by with so much less space. In the 1950s, the average home was about the size of today’s three car garages – 900 square feet. Today, the average home is 2,400 square feet.

Today’s larger homes and larger rooms can accommodate a wider range of furniture. There is now plenty of space for pieces of furniture that were long forgotten in the often-miniscule living quarters of our parents and their parents. One of the items being brought back into the homes is furniture console tables. Once popular in the early 20th Century, furniture console tables have come back into vogue.

Furniture console tables add storage, visual interest and support the overall décor or theme of the home.

Most if not all furniture console tables fit well in the larger great rooms, foyers, landings and wider hallways. They create a great first impression when someone enters your home. Not only is there a table for you to put important items such as keys, gloves, and the day’s mail, but it can also be a great space for a light to brighten up the room as others enter, or even have some flowers or a plant there as a friendly greeting to all those who come inside.

In a living room, furniture console tables can add a great space to show off your family through a series of family photos, or show off some of the heirlooms or trinkets you have collected over the years. They are also a godsend when you are entertaining, as you can take some of those items and tuck them away so that your furniture console tables become instant tabletops your guests can use to place their drinks and appetizers as they socialize.  If you entertain regularly, you can also store entertainment items, such as extra coasters inside the furniture console tables, so they will be at your fingertips when you need them most.

When it comes to adding visual interest to your home, today’s furniture console tables can be found in every style and design imaginable. Furniture designers realized that those buying furniture not only loved great looking tables, but also liked to have storage space so they can have all the things they have accumulated in their lives. Furniture console tables combine both of those things into one, so you can find furniture console tables with ornate cherry woodcarvings, beautiful veneers, tile and metal inlays, and other amazing accents, that also offer the practical storage space you need.

Amazingly, as home sizes get bigger, we always find more things to put into them. But thankfully, there are also places being created to store all that stuff. Furniture console tables are the perfect pieces for today’s homes. Not only do they have the looks of the best in home furnishings, but they also offer precious storage space so you can keep track of all the many things that have found their way into your home.
