We’re big fans of console tables here at Mubu, and for good reason. They’re those versatile pieces that can bring both style and practicality to any room. Whether you’re looking for a place to drop your keys or a stylish spot for your favorite decor, a console table is a perfect pick.

Console tables are a bit like the unsung heroes of home decor. They’re practical, aesthetically pleasing, and multi-functional, making them a must-have in any well-designed home. Need a place to display a beautiful vase or keep your daily essentials handy? A console table has got you covered.

Finding the Right Size

When it comes to console tables, size does matter! Generally, they stand between 71 to 81 cm tall, but you can find taller or shorter ones depending on your space. If you’re placing it behind a sofa, go for a height that’s slightly lower than the back of the sofa for a harmonious look. Our Axel Console Table, at 800mm high, is a great example of a piece that fits just right in various settings.

Picking the Perfect Length

Console tables come in all sorts of lengths, from petite 76-cm pieces to long 182-cm showstoppers. The right length depends on your space and how you want to use it. If you’ve got a spacious entryway, a longer table like the Axel Console (with its 1450mm width) can make a beautiful statement without overpowering the room.

Where to Place Your Console Table

One of the best things about console tables is how adaptable they are. Here are a few ideas:

• Entryways: A console table in the entryway is perfect for holding your keys, mail, or a fresh bouquet. Add a mirror or some artwork above it to create a welcoming vibe.
• Living Rooms: Use a console table to anchor your living room, showcasing family photos or treasured decor.
• Dining Rooms: In the dining room, a console table can double as a serving station or a stylish spot for your best tableware.
• Home Offices: Need a little extra space in your home office? A console table can store your office supplies or even extend your workspace.
• Bedrooms: In the bedroom, a console table can serve as a stylish surface for your jewelry, cosmetics, or a cosy bedside lamp.

Style and Material

When choosing a console table, it’s all about what feels right for your space:

• Solid Timbe Console Tables: There’s something timeless about a solid wood console table. Our Axel Console, made from American White Oak, brings a warm, natural touch.
• Minimalist Console Tables: If you’re into clean lines and a simple aesthetic, a minimalist console table might be your go-to. Think sleek designs and neutral colors.
• Modern Console Tables: For a more contemporary look, consider a console table with a glass or stone top. These materials can make your space feel open and airy.

The best console tables aren’t just pretty—they’re practical too. Our Axel Console Table, for instance, features three drawers and a lower shelf, giving you plenty of storage while still looking stylish. It’s about finding a piece that not only looks great but also makes your life a little easier.

At the end of the day, a console table is more than just a piece of furniture—it’s a versatile addition to your home that can really pull a space together. Whether you’re looking for extra storage, a spot to display your favorite items, or just a piece that adds a little something special to your room, there’s a console table out there for you. With the  Axel Console Table we have tried combining beauty, craftsmanship, and functionality in one elegant package. Here’s to finding the perfect piece for your home!
