Your console table is going to be a focal point of your room. You want to make sure that the design you choose is something that you will like and that will fit in with other pieces of furniture in your space. This is not the time to go cheap. You can easily spend more money on an expensive table if you don’t take the time to find something that fits in with what you already have in your room. Keep in mind that you will have this table for a long time so you want to get it right the first time around.
One of the best ways to decide where to keep your console table is to figure out which room you will most often use it in. If you have a small dining room then you will most likely want to keep it in your kitchen. You can display quite a few items on this table such as a small plate or two, a glass, candles, and anything else that you would typically display in a dining room setting.
If you have a large dining room or home, you will want to keep this console table out in the open. You can display a number of things on it is much easier to clean when you don’t have to worry about glasses or silverware. If you do have some of this stuff in your home then you should consider keeping it in a dark corner of the room. It will be harder for guests to spot it but it will also be a lot more protected from guests who may spill something on it.
If you have children then you will want to know where to keep your console table in the event that one of them spills something on it. Since it is made of wood, you won’t have to worry about it being ruined. If you have a glass on this table then you will be covered in case it is shattered. You may have to buy another one if yours was destroyed.
You can find console tables at just about any furniture store. If you are handy you can probably make one for yourself. There are many places online that offer console table plans for people to use. The hardest part about making these is putting them together. If you use the right table plans and get the right materials then you should be able to make one for next to nothing.
