A console table is the hardest-working piece in an entryway. Here’s how to choose, plus my favorite warm, elevated consoles.
How to choose an entryway console
- Measure — a narrow depth (10-14″) keeps a hallway walkable.
- Warm wood or mixed-material for a high-end look.
- Storage — drawers hide clutter; shelves hold baskets.
- Height ~30-34″.
- Keep it tonal with your floors and trim.
