Hall Storage in Console Tables

Hall Storage Console Tables

Hall storage console tables are perfect for filling empty space in a long hallway or adding a convenient piece of furniture in your foyer. You can temporarily set items on the table after coming inside the house, and store keys, letters, tools, or other items you may need access to in the drawers.

Most console tables have four legs and can be easily set up against the wall. Some models, however, are designed to attach to the wall. You may like how the table looks securely anchored to the wall, or you may prefer the ability to easily move it as needed.

Most console tables are rectangular, but some are round or capsule-shaped. A rectangular shape will usually give you the most storage space as console tables are designed to be narrow. Console tables have narrow designs to avoid blocking foot traffic. A capsule table is a mixture of a cubby and a table rather than having legs like a standard table.

To find the right size for your space, measure the width of your hallway and allow at least 50–60 centimetres of space for smooth foot traffic. A 90-centimetre hallway would look good with a 30–40-centimetre console table. If you're placing the table under a window, you may want to check that the height will be in line with the bottom of the window. Also, check the weight limits of the table to know how much weight each shelf can hold. See the manufacturer site for details.

Options in finishes for hall storage console tables include wood veneer, white or grey oak veneer, chrome, and gloss. Wood and wood veneer console tables create an inviting atmosphere. Walnut and other rich woods are a popular choice for those who like the classic wood furniture appearance. For a contemporary style, you may opt for white or grey oak veneer. Chrome and console tables are also suitable for a contemporary design.

If you have a coloured or patterned rug, a console table with a chrome finish is a good pairing because it helps reflect the bright colours. Similarly, gloss tables pair well with coloured and patterned rugs. They can help establish a smooth look. Gloss console tables complement tile flooring as well. White gloss sets a crisp, modern look, and dark gloss creates a warm feel.

If you're a fan of glass, you'll be happy to know some console tables with storage are made of glass. They often have the drawers made out of wood or another material while the rest of the table or the shelves are glass.
