Vintage console table

Where to place your console?

You can place your console in your hallway, a corridor, your living room, your office, or even as a room divider—the options are endless. Indeed, the choice of your console will depend on where you want to place it and the existing décor style in your room. But the beauty of vintage is that it blends easily with existing décor styles in your home.

How to choose your vintage console?

The combination of wood and black metal remains a timeless choice—simple, yet always impactful. Opt for a console with drawers or a caned top to introduce a natural element. A glass top combined with light wood can lend an airy feel to your space, while raw wood adds depth and character. And if your interior style allows, consider a lacquered or high-gloss finish to add a distinctive retro flair.

What decoration to add to your vintage console?

To maintain that retro vibe, we suggest decorating your console with a lovely vase, candle holders, or a copper lamp. Don’t forget to add a key tray, as it's always useful to keep your everyday items within reach. If you choose a console with drawers, you can store those things we tend to misplace, such as keys, winter gloves, or a phone charger.

Beware of the total look

Vintage décor is always best paired with other styles like modern, Scandinavian, or industrial, otherwise, the vintage effect loses its charm, and you might feel overwhelmed. It’s important to balance things out to find the right harmony. Opt for one or two vintage pieces alongside more contemporary furniture.
